    2005 Saab 9-3 Traded for the Civic Hybrid. Was not in love witht he GM sedan body style. Not a Saab, in my opinion, but still a fun car to drive.

    2003 Saab 900 Traded for 2006 Toyota Corolla. Guess I forgot that one on my list. Hated that car, but the wife needed a driver and we owed less on it than the Santa Fe Hated that car too.

    2000 Saab 9000 Traded for brand new 2005 Hyundai Elantra 5-door. Was going to need a new tranny soon and that wasn't a repair I wanted to fork out for. I needed a reliable driver to go to grad school. I was orginally planning to comute back to West Virginia as often as I could before we moved the whole family out here.

    1989 Saab 900 The frame rusted in half. It wasn't a turbo, so meh, but it was my first.

    I still love Saabs, but I don't think I'll go back now that they're out of business. They were expensive to fix when the company still existed. I can't even imagine now. If I could find a 90s 900 2.0 turbo with all the known issues fixed (it'd probably have to be over 150k miles for that to have happened) I'd buy it and drive it gladly.

    I try to as well, but when a fuel pump's $500, a tranny's $1400 and that's all before labor, it gets awfully dear awfully quick. Those are jobs I can't do.That's why I'd love to get one where everythng that usually goes bad has been replaced and then I could drive and enjoy.
