Saab 9000 CSE 1995 - US model

Apr 05, 2006 9 Replies

Hi



I'm thinking about importing a Saab 9000 from Germany to Denmark, but the vehicle was originally imported from the US to Germany. A wise (?) man told me to be careful, because the US models often have other specifications in the electronic parts than the European, which would make it difficult and expensive to repair in Europe.



Can anyone confirm (or - hopefully - disprove) this?



Regards

I can't think of much if anything that would be different, certainly nothing drastically so. Headlights, but of course those are changed already.

I think your wise man's experience doesn't include Saab specifically, perhaps?

Funny that you seem to have never asked for help here, and yet you choose this time, when someone wants to know about differences between US spec and Europe-spec vehicles to comment. Almost makes one wonder why you're here.

Maybe it was because:

He drove on the Danville train 'til so much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again. In the winter of '65, he was hungry, just barely alive He took the train to Richmond that fell It was a time he remembers, oh, so well...

Gee I have a '94 9000cse with 135k on the clock that runs like new. I've had it since it had 66k on it and only had minor problems with it. I did have 2 bigger issues along the way. One right after I bought it and a radiator hose blew while I was cruising along the freeway and caused the car to overheat since I was not able to pull over soon enough, that required a new head gasket, an while I had the head apart I did some PM on the timing shain and tensioners.

The other was a tranny problem that caused a gear to go out.

It still costs me less > I have a Saab 9000- (AERO) 1994 model in the USA.

You have no right to protection against being offended.

Bullshit- I know you guys sing only praises of SAAB. Just go and ask ten people - everyone agrees that the quality control of Saab sucks. Saabs drive well- I have one. But they fail at the drop of a hat. I wish GM throws out these Saab asshole managers and engineers and bring the cars to atleast GMlevel

Again, you seem to be long on complaints and short on having asked for help.

OK, whatever. So what's your goal in participating here? I mean, I have a guess, but I'm curious as to what your response will be.

Where's that troll-o-meter Fred uses ?

Well then ask me. I have a 1993 9000 CSE 2.0 LPT 120,000 miles, still goes like new. I maintain it and have had some repairs over the years, but nothing unusual or expensive. It all depends on a garage that know what they are doing and don't make the any problems worse. In particular I'm very impressed that all the electronic managements still works so well so that the engine is running smoothly. The car is definitely quality build.
