If I forgot about something, I will add it shortly, but I am pretty sure that it was all. If you have any questions or doubts concerning this listing, don't hesitate to ask, I will be more than glad to assist you. 99% of all the things that have been done around the car were done by me. I own other Saab 900i which I also put a lot of effort in to make it work and look as it deserved for it. I got to sell this one, because I am leaving US soon for longer period of time and I need that money. It doesn't mean I will sell it for symbolic penny. I put my heart, time, blood (haha) and money into that 900 as I love Saabs. I made everything around the car AS FOR ME. Not to sell it, not to trade it, everything was made with great doze of patience, research and attention. Plus, don't forget about the trunk photo - lots of extras. I was allowed to add up to 24 pictures. I got folder with 130 of them. If you want to see the rest of the photos, just let me know, I will send them to you right away. Happy Bidding and Keep Saabing! : ) ATTENTION PLEASE! I just wanted to add, that car is already located in STAMFORD, CT. It is ready to be seen and ride. Just two months ago I came from Montana to Connecticut with it (2250miles) - to some extend it gave me an opportunity to test a car. What can I say? No overheating, no abnormal oil consumption, no hissing, no problems at all. The only thing was previously mentioned steering rack which looses fluid. However, not that significantly, that it could affect steering quality or pump. I left US on Thursday (07.11) and I will be back probably in the end of October. However, the car is parked in the front of my uncle's home. If you are interested to meet up and test the car, just let me know and I will manage the meeting with my uncle. I will do my best to make it as flexible as possible. Best regards, Chris.
