I need a new winter vehicle (Rustmobile truck is almost dead), and I found a Saab 9-3 5-door at one of the local dealership for around $13k and I really like it. It's a one-owner car, fully loaded. What I was wondering is, I found a couple pages that say the power output is like 205hp, and some that say 185hp. That seems a little high to me, because the new ones have onyl like 175hp. It's the turbo 2.0 4-cyl and 5-speed. If anyone has any info on whether this is right or not, just let me know.

Thanks,

Leo

the base model had 185hp

the SE had 205 and the viggen had 235

Ahh, the Viggen. What a car.

OK cool, thanks! I think the one I am interested in is a base model. It's the same price as a 98 Audi A4 1.8T (150hp). Which is a better buy? both are black and 5-speed. The Audi is a 1998 and the Saab is a 2000. I'd rather the Saab, and so would the wife. Also, the Saab has remainder of the factory warranty, whereas the Audi doesn't.

I wish I could find a Viggen for that price (or at all!), but the 93 is still a super nice car!
