eBay - 1988 Saab 900 SRINGTIME IN SWEDEN 49K - Rough/But Fixable

[Burnsside42]

It's located in Clifton, New Jersey according to the eBay ad seen here;

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Saab-...000dd2&vxp=mtr

Looks a little rough - but @ the mileage and the rare level of the car it should be worth the investment. Not my cup of tea - and my driveway is overflowing as it is.

That's pretty rough butI guess that's what happens when you let it sit outside in the Florida sun and humidity. Baked for 25 years and very well-done. I think you need more than just a bit of TLC and leather conditioner to fix up those seats.
