Wasn't the price much higher before? I think I remember seeing it before.

It was much higher before and is way more tempting at this price. I think he was asking $3500 at first.

Is it posessed? Why no takers?

Not a lot of info. Five speed or auto? What's the interior look like?

It is an EMS so it is a four speed. Probably no takers because he was asking $3500 at first and you can buy a perfect example for that.

I would love to, but it's over a hundred miles from my house. Is there anyone nearer to Fremont that could look?

I'm sure you would need to tow it or have it shipped, the car isn't drivable in its current state.

Hawww haww, I love that ad. I feel sorry for the guy but it's just funny to see the frustration in the text.

He has another old ad that states the car was from Portland, Oregon and has never seen Ohio salt...rust free.

Wonder if he'll trade for my 99 and some cash (that I don't have).

Here was a couple of days ago that it was listed at $1650.
The car is local to me. I have watched on CL where it started at $4,500 in the Spring.
The listing is always vague about "needs a few items" but if I remember correctly from reading the different variations of the listing over the months one of the "few things" it needs is trans work.
I seem to recall getting the impression that the "replacement" engine is not compatible with the trans. I am not sure why this would be because I have no experience with Saabs.
I do remember that it is not drivable (but this is never really clearly exposed in his ads which seems shady.)

If you want it looked at, I can do it late today or easier on Saturday morn. Other versions of the ad that I have seen say that he is in Vickery or Lindsey. Ohio of which both are unmemorable, not-even-flashing traffic light, kind of towns less than 20 minutes from me.

I would highly recommend that you speak with him directly first. I know that he had an e30 up for sale in the Spring and I think he has listed some or all of the boats in the background of the pictures as well. I think he may be a boat dealer and I am not sure if he is a dealer for cars or just selling off his stock. I think, in Ohio, a boat dealers license would gain him access to used car auctions.

PM to reach me.

If anyone gets it and needs parts I have front axles, brakes, 4 speed shifter, and other various things. Even a spare 99 for parts if you make me a good offer.
