And you know what that means....paying more!! What I need is websites that offer new and used Saab parts. I bought a 93 9000 CSE a year ago and so far the only thing I've been able to purchase in the aftermarket is a couple of oil filters. I can't even find a repair manual in any auto part store. By the way I'm averaging 29 MPH. I have a 5 speed, turbo---maybe I'm wrong but isn't this great for a car that is 13 years old?

No shipping charges if you are spending more than $40. They are located at Connecticut, and if you order parts today morning, probably you have your parts next day. The parts are cheap. For example a genuine SAAB DI cassette (V6 engine) costs at dealer around $260, and they are selling it for $180. [Edited by: trilubite at 4/4/2007 12:40:09 PM EST]

I might have some of the WIS (workshop information service) discs around the house. I know I have newer stuff. I was working for a dealer when they decided to clean out all of the old CDs.

This is probably the best automobile usenet group in existence. Second: Shop at their sponsors (e.g. eeuroparts.com, saabsite.com, etc.)
