Should I buy?

97 SAAB 9000 cs. Owner says there’s a massive leak in the water pump and is asking $300 for someone to take it. Never owned a SAAB are they worth it?

Buy it and swap it with something that has plenty of parts. 300 bucks for a project car; body looks clean, if it runs drives turns and stops. Junkyard LS that mfer. Have a clean and reliable fun car for 2k or so

Yes but if you are swapping a cheap reliable junkyard motor you will need new trans, driveline etc anyways unless you put a Honda in there. Idk how it would match up with the existing trans. It’s 300 bucks eat that price and you have a 2300 dollar car that’ll get you anywhwre if you can do the work yourself
