Lucky day, another new addition

Had a buddy of mine call me up and asked if I wanted a Saab 9-3 with the engine taken apart but only 73k miles. I told him I wasn't interested. He sent me a picture of it and my jaw dropped. A 2001 Steel grey Viggen. I immediately called him back and asked him if he actually knew what it was. He said I thought it might be a special edition or something, he had no idea he was looking at 1 of 95 steel grey Viggens that were imported to the US. I went to look at it and it could be mistaken for a new car with the exception of the engine carefully disassembled, all parts labeled and bagged. I bought it on the spot. I'm still pinching myself to make sure it's for real.

Congrats, the car looks a decent one .It will serve you well . A few annoying things according to my knowledge you can't remove the key unless tranny is in R . Most owners forget and fight to take the key out and hence ignition key barrel wobbles
You can't start your engine unless you fasten your seatbelt lol

I'm no stranger to Saabs and their quirks. Not even sure I should post this picture (nobody laugh too hard) but here is me standing on my mom's 99 from way back once upon a time. I've had the fortune of owning a few cool Saabs but this Viggen is so far my best find for sure.
