The 1990 Saab 9000 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 1990 Saab 9000 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Here is the 1990 Saab 9000 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the 9000
Owners filed 7 complaints with NHTSA, most often about service brakes, electrical system and power train; have those parts checked. NHTSA lists 1 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.
The numbers in plain words
Under the hood: the 2.0L 4-cylinder and 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.
Rated at 11.2 L/100 km combined, it needs around 34 litres for a 300 km round trip. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $17.36 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the 9000 suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
How big it is
As a large sedan, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 680 litre trunk is enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent first, buy later: a week with the 9000 answers the big questions. A test week in the 9000 tells you more than any review. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
