What can you tell me about the SAAB 900S Taladega as I have been offered one for what I think is cheap.
It's on an R & has just turned 100k, Looks to me that it'd make a decent Grandson pick up motor for my long trips, What do you lot reckon ?
All help is appreciated.

I believe this is the infamous GM engined one? Basically a Vectra!

Don't think it is to be honest but that's why I posted, Who knows about these motors, Anyone ?

If its an R reg then yes it will be a GM engined one, it had the same chassis and underpinnings as the vectra.

Google SAAB Central all the info you need will be up there.

We bought my other half a '99 V plate 9-5 for £1k in estate form with 156k. We've had it a few months now and it's been flawless so far. If we get another 7-8 months of out it, it'll have been worth every penny tbh. I reckon we'll have it for much longer though.

This one started at 695 & I've got it down to 475 so far, It is Mates rates though :cool:
