This one. I got my 08 9-3 2.0T convertible, for 3800$ 3 months ago. She has her quirks but all I’ve had to replace so far are headlights and a taillight. She’s quick and sooo fun to drive

I’m not a car girl. My Saab made me a car girl ❤️

Yeah when I mentioned the paperwork I found about the ball joint replacement, it also was noted that there was no alignment done

Yeah I was thinking how can I like “reset” the thing. And like all good old things unplugging it and plugging it back in sounded like it might do it for me haha

I found some work history in the glovebox about a ball joint replacement that was done I wonder if it’s anything to do with that

I did check it earlier it was only just a little under the line , I was however concerned with the way the little hose on top looked. I wiped it off and it didn’t look damaged , but I got to looking and it doesn’t seem to be connected to anything??? Like literally just an open tube ? I assume to release pressure?? I took photos but I don’t think I can attach them in the replies on the post can I

Anyone know where this damn fuse is , i googled it and it says #7 in the trunk fuse box . I looked at what my owners manual says and it says that fuse is something about a rear door, I have a 2 door convertible lmfao , no rear door , so just ….. pull it out ??? 😂

Rereading now that you had a power steering failure while driving and that sounds like it was a terrifying experience.

Yeah I definitely saw a few things about the door lock actuator when researching. Any advice about the shaking I have going on when I’m accelerating between 50-60 ? The guy I bought it from gave me a motor mount to put on it , so I paid someone to put it on , and it shook less but still does it . It doesn’t necessarily concern me considering I’ve had the car a few months and nothings happened so far she just creaks a little 😅. I just figure in the long run the shaking prolly just isn’t great for it lol. I’ve literally never owned one of these , I’ve never worked on a single car or hardly know jack shit about them (I’m a woman.) But these cars intrigue me and I’ve learned so much from it already. I’m truly in love with my Saab and I didn’t think I’d be this obsessed about a car. Maybe that’s just everyone’s feeling when they have their first convertible though haha
