Founded in 1978
Is anyone planning on going this year?
We should look at arranging a convoy down … it adds to the fun!
Also, we should consider whether or not anyone is interested and willing to share rooms … sometimes that is the difference between someone being able to go and not. My son (Sam) and I would be willing to split a room with someone else.
Feel free to contact me directly for more information.
OK, the debate and thought process is over and done with.
I have decided to get a 9-7X … now I just need to find one. I’m (obviously) looking for the best deal I can find. Ideally an 06 or 07 (but I will take an 05) with either engine.
If you see something out there, please contact me directly as they seem to get snatched up very quickly these days (likely because people realize they are a great deal).
I can be reached at saabscott (at) saabclub.ca or you can text me at 416 839 9852.
Thanks! Scott
Nick over at Stage 9, the newest Saab shop in Toronto, sent this to me.
I am looking for some “real life” thoughts surrounding 9-7X 5.3i ownership.
I’ve owned quite a few Saabs over the years (1996 900SE, 1992 9000 SPG, 1999 9-5 sedan, 2005 and 2004 9-5 Aero SportCombi, 1993 900S) and I have had the 9-7X in my head for a long time now as my next Saab.
First off, I have heard many comments surrounding the 4.2i being too underpowered for this truck … and yet the numbers of the 5.3i are not that much better. Is there really that much of a difference? I need it as a people mover, not a towing vehicle.
I have asked at Saab Central and over at the TrailVoy forums and most people suggest that it is a good to great truck. Keep up on your fluid changes, expect some oil burn, and you will be OK.
Is there anyone local that I might be able to chat with? Visit you and chat over a coffee? Have a look around the truck?
It has been a while since I was in one and need to make sure that it is the right vehicle for me if I’m going to make the move as I typically end up keeping my rides for a very long time.
