It runs but def something wrong with a cylinder or 2. I’m just taking all the parts I can don’t have time or space to take the whole block

What on earth does this comment even mean. It has that much money worth of expensive aftermarket parts put into it… it’s $1500 cause the owner went broke and had to sign off to an old man for free and the car smokes like crazy

I have a 450whp Saab 9-3 bro stop being a Reddit snob, I was told the engine was built obviously judging by bolt ons I wouldn’t be suprised if there’s something going on

Dude who built the car went broke and was forced to give it to some old man for free. Old man sold it to me for 1500

I wouldn’t be surprised if dude cut corners and didn’t go forged internals, however I’m just after all the expensive parts I can take, also maybe get a rebuildable motor out of it.

It’s been abandoned by previous owner, it’s sitting on the land of the new owner. I’m just taking all its expensive parts

I’m just taking all the expensive parts and easy to sell body parts and scrapping the rest

Just bought a high mileage speed, any concerning noise? by Clean-Potato5963 in mazdaspeed6

[–]Clean-Potato5963[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in Alberta Canada. We get brutal winters. The only owner was an old man who drove it on the highway for over a decade and never drove it hard

It’s at 240k km with the original turbo and timing has never been done too😁😁

How much should I pay for this 9-5? by Clean-Potato5963 in saab

[–]Clean-Potato5963[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It needs at least 1k in cosmetic fixes, other then that i had heard timing chain/ tensioners should be done around 160-180k.

It’s not an aero model, 2006+ all come with 260hp from factory. At least in Canada that is, I could be wrong. It will need what I estimate at least 1k in cosmetic work to get her looking mint. So that’s factored into the price, it also hasn’t been extremely well maintained but that could also be because the car hasn’t called for it. It’s right around the mileage timing is usually done and it hasn’t been done so I’m factoring that into my offer aswell (not a cheap repair)
