Two years after my last post, and about one year since I last turned the 'ol 9000 over, it's sold. I said my final goodbye a Wednesday or two ago and helped load her up with the buyer, a nice Euro car enthusiast named Tristan who is moving to southern Maryland from N.Y. He has worked on Saabs in the past and agreed with one of my requirements before selling that the car must go to someone to willing to get it back on the road. It became clearer and clearer I wasn't going to be able to give it the attention it deserved and I felt bad about letting such a great machine wilt while I hemmed and hawed.
Here is my last photo with it. This is the first time I have not owned a Saab since I got my first one, a '96 900 Turbo in 2013. Nearly a decade of Saab ownership later, I still regret nothing and have not learned my lesson. I will buy another someday. But for now, just focusing on work and my Mazda is getting me around. However, I am considering getting a Pontiac Grand Prix GTP from the turn of the century if I can get a cash in trade for my Mazda.
