The 1998 Saab 9000: before you buy
No 1998 Saab 9000 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Buying the 1998 Saab 9000 is a big decision; here is the information we have.
Before you sign for the 9000
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
The powertrain here is the 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed manual. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 11.2 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 34 litres. In energy, every 100 km costs about $19.60 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,900 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Practical details
As a large sedan, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. The trunk holds 680 litres by the EPA's count: bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Who it is for
It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
Drive the 9000 on your commute before you commit to it. If the 9000 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. The EPA estimates US$3,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Choosing the right one
If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Questions first?
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 1998 Saab 9000 from us first.
