Was missing fuel lines to the fuel dizzy from the WUR, had GREEN coolant in it (when I pointed that out he told me it was the right color because NAPA said so........Thats when I said NO...it needs to be PINK or RED, NAPA are idiots when it comes to imports), completely dead tires, none of the electric windows worked, headliner was falling apart, collapsed pcv hose, brakes went straight to the floor, rear dif light didnt light up, has a battery draw, the instrument cluster was missing the glass cover, and the list goes on and on. Even if he ditched it for $300 it would have been a bad deal on my part
Thats too bad. Would have been nice to see another 20vt B3.

I just spent almost 9 hours today and 4 hours yesterday changing the damn POWERSTEERING pump on my damn saab! It was problem after problem after problem. I shit you not, in order to get the pump back in, I had to undo the passenger motor mount and lift the engine up with the crane. HI WE ARE SAAB, LETS PUT A MOTOR IN BACKWARDS AND PUT ALL THE DRIVE BELTS AND ACCESSORIES RIGHT NEXT TO THE FIREWALL!!!!!

Well I found the electrical draw today...FINALLY. I have a massively FRIED wire that shares the same connector as the tach and a few other interior functions. The entire wire's shroud is gone as in the wire is completely bare and exposed. Now I gotta figure out how to remove this damn wire without having to tear apart the entire dash. God I hate electrical

This car really knows how to drive me crazy. Even after removing the melted wire theres still a voltage being drawn on the battery. This is driving me crazy
