Saw this when it was for sale last year by the previous owner and liked it then.... shame the turbo is dieing and also no T&T.  :sad:  I might be wrong but I think the miles were very high on back then....

The saab turbo engine is a tough lump, swapping the turbo is unpleasant but not too bad, odd choice for a transplant though.
