I have an opportunity to buy a low-mile p-1800 ES wagon from a friend at a good price, and I wanted to know what this community's views on the car was. I spent most of the day today going over it and washing it with him. The odo currently reads 33k or so.

It's like they have all winter to dream up crazier and crazier stuff. I think I owned every model Saab, starting with the 96, but now we're all Volvos, new and stock, or old, turboed and slammed. When your family shows up let me know, I'll send videos of a friend's daily driver turbo LSx engined 242 on ethanol. We aren't far behind those guys in hotrodding their own cars. |
