Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Digest, Vol 26, Issue 58
I know where theres a '72 Saab 95 wagon just waiting for somebody willing to do some metal work. The guy wants $2k which is too much for my blood but it is a somewhat rare car. -Curt Date: Tue, 08 Jan 2008 10:22:02 -0500 From: Mitch Haley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] Mercedes Digest, Vol 26, Issue 58 To: Mercedes Discussion List Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Saab 99/900 are pretty safe cars for their age. Right up there with MBZ and Volvo from the '70's. I'm not so sure about the crash ratings on the earlier cars (92, 95, 96), but if she wants old, small, funky, and wagon, a Saab 95 would do it. She might really like a Saab 99 three door (Saab called it the "Wagonback"). - Never miss a thing.

I forgot to repeat what I wrote in an earlier post: that she thinks the 126s are too big. I have one, a 300SD. She's driven it, and doesn't like to. So to reiterate, the criteria are: • old and "cute:" square classic shape, hubcaps painted body color. * Not too big--123 sized. 126s are too big *Not too small--201s are too small * Not too new--124s look "too generic" * Gasser She may have to settle for a 617 in a 123. I think the cuteness factor of a 300CD would win her over, or maybe a TD--she likes wagons, and as a jr. high science teacher who does lots of hands-on experiments, she loads her saab wagon up frequently. I think if I always did the fill-ups, had a block heater installed, and maybe even got some earlier wheels and hubcaps and had them painted, she'd be happy.
