Tin-top here, but a c900 T16 as my everyday car.

Hi,

Fortunately (or perhaps UNfortunately, as it might be the case), I live in the one of the driest countres in the world .... Here in Australia (or particularly in MElbourne) we hardly get any rain.. (save for the past week or so!!) In any case, it did happen to drizzle last night when I looked at the car and no leaks showed.. The roof has been recently restored (in the past few years, anyway) and you can certainly tell.. The paint is not in the best condition (still original from '88, I'd say, so it's fading), but the interior looks better than my 2001 9-5 does, and the 9-5 is in great condition!

The heated seats don't work, but.. Oh well. Guess this can be fixed!

No rust anywhere. Looks like it's a keeper!!

A bit of a tapping on the engine which could (hopefully) be cured by an oil flush or (worst case) changing the lifters (tappets)....

Fingers crossed!! I'll get it checked out at the local saab dealer..
