The Saab 900, particularly the Turbo models from 1991 until the end of “classic” production in 1993, have always had a fervent following among Saab Trolls. It’s not hard to see why. They’re quirky yet common sense, lively yet practical, sporting yet comfortable. It’s fair to say they have personality, whether in three-door wagonback or convertible form.
This 900 Turbo Commemorative Edition (or CE in Trollspeak) is an excellent example of that. The CE marked the swan song of classic 900s in 1993. The three-door was released that year, while the Convertibles capped off the line as a 1994 model. It’s done just shy of 100,000 miles but shows very well. Seats don’t show the wear we typically see on Saab seats of similar age and use. Likewise there doesn’t appear to be any of the dash cracks that usually come up on that big plastic surface. The originality (stereo, equalizer, manuals) indicates an appreciation for preservation and that bodes well for the general care given. Nothing in its tidy presentation suggests otherwise.
It’s a Saab so expect to replace things like the water pump, head gaskets, etc. over the next 50,000 miles, but the service records will give you a good idea of what you’re dealing with. Find it here at Romb Cars for a decent $21,000.
