1993 Saab 9000 CSE turbo. 225k mi, 5-spd manual (NOT AUTOMATIC). Clutch has about 35k mi. Engine & tranny solid. Does use about 1qt oil every 2k mi. Tires about 50%. AC, TCS, ABS DO NOT WORK but it drives with no problem. Seats could use restitch but work ok. Seat heaters not working. 15day MBG if there's a major failure like engine or tranny (not brakes, exhaust and other wear items). In Oneonta, NY (between Albany & Binghamton)

Hmm, that's a lot of mileage. I have same car already, but only 190k mi. engine is still strong and smooth and not using any oil between changes. Check if there is an oil leak. Only problem area is the engine mounts. ABS has to work otherwise MOT failure. The ABS wire to wheel hub flexes with suspension movements and eventually breaks. But can be fixed/replaced.
