I bought mine used for New Civic money...I'm just glad I found it. There were so few manual transmission ones there.

However, while I was at that dealership...I spotted a bright red 9-5 Aero wagon with a manual transmission. Those are rare as hell in that setup...some guy in Canada was interested in that one. I like it...but it's a couple grand more than mine. Anyway...I'm loving my 9-3 Aero.

If you go to GenuineSaab.com you will see for the Viggens for my year the best mod is the VRK Kit (Viggen Rescue Kit) it comes with a 6 point subframe brace, steering rack clamp, and the ARB i just got. They say once that kit is installed you have what really should have come from the factory in the first place.

Glad to hear your liking your aero I wanna check it out for sure sometime. Ive got a buddy from my VW group that rocks an 88 900 turbo that I get to talk saabs with since he brings it out since his dubs are broke

Yea, after 2003 they used GM's Epsilon platform for the 9-3. I found a couple nice things on Genuine SAAB.

I'm usually at Pleasant Hill Meets and the Varsity...look out for me if you're ever over there! I'll be looking for other meets in my area too.
