Fun and luxury

We bought this car for our son to drive to work and school. It was sporty and yet luxurious at the same time. Much better value than the Toyota we were looking at, and much nicer. I liked the car so much that I ended up buying a second Saab for myself.

Watch out for the White Saab

I owned the white 2005 Saab that they have listed for sale. It is a nightmare. Look at the carfax report. It was trouble from the first day till the last day. I have owned a couple SAABs and for the most part they were great but not this one. I traded it in for $5000. As they told me I was getting top dollar. Yeah right! Dont pay 10,000 for it!!
