Buying the 1990 Saab 9000
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 1990 Saab 9000 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is what to know about the 1990 Saab 9000 before buying one.
What to check on the 9000
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. NHTSA has 7 owner complaints on file, mostly about service brakes, electrical system and power train. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it.
What the figures tell you
Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder; drive: front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 11.2 L/100 km, means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $17.36 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
What the 9000 is like
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. Luggage space is rated at 680 litres: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Good uses for the 9000
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while.
Rent it for a week first
A week with the 9000 answers more than any brochure. Try the 9000 on your commute, then decide. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 9000 answers the big questions.
Running costs
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.36 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
Within the 1990 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
