Thunderbolt from Finland: 2000 Saab 93 Viggen
This next car comes as a tip from Johnny Bouncewell who writes: Man, I don’t NEED another Viggen but this one sure is tempting. Right number of doors, OEM wheels, and the proper six speed transmission. Yes JB, you are correct, the combination of a 2.3 liter turbo-4 boosted to 230 horsepower is cool, but only 138 examples of the 3-door made it into the USA for the 2000 MY (764 over the 5 year model span)…so it is cool and rare. Find this 2000 Saab 93 Viggen offered for $5000 in Albuquerque, NM via craigslist.

50k miles. Wow. Why?
Just dumped a low mile convertible Viggen because it was such a world class POS. Bought a 99 9-3 New back in the day, and I remember drooling over the Viggens when I came in for service, so when I saw one on eBay that looked good, I pulled the trigger. Good God what a joke. Body and interior were beautiful, but that turd came up with new and creative ways to crush my soul every week. In 9 months I took 3 successful drives in it without something major breaking. Finally found a good soul in the NE to take if off my hands for $500. Itch = scratched….permanently.
