We just (today) purchased a 2000 9-3 SE Hatchback, automatic. It
has 91K on it but we only paid $4k (+/-cost). Its actually our 1st
CAR (not truck or van) in years, and 1st Saab ever. It's in great
shape, only a few minor things as expected from a used car (cosmetic,
clicking in engine, worn buttons). This was not from a Saab dealer,
so not certified, but I do know (and trust) the used car dealer--in as
far as he wouldn't purposefully sell us a bad car. The down side is
that it has no manual, thus the questions- (until I can buy a
replacement manual).
1) It has an alarm system, I have no idea how to turn it off should it
start beeping/fla****ng. The fob doesn't seem to work the alarm
system. I'm paranoid as I've never had or needed an alarm. (Maine is
'generally' safe.)
2) What's the difference between "S****t", "Winter", and neither with
the transmission?
3) How do you use the wipers on the lights?
4) Is it really 2x as much for maintenance/parts as "regular" cars?
4a) Does it need 'hi-test' or supreme gasoline?
5) What is the 'on/off' toggle between the window controls inbetween
the seats?
6) How do I set the date on the dash?
7) How do I change the rest of the data on tha display (besides the
time-I iured that out)?
8) What's D.T.E. in that display with MPH?
ENOUGH! --they said....
It's really a cool car. We have 4 kids (and a caravan to haul
them around)-so I can commute with this, or she can take them to
school-so shouldn't be more than 5 pple in the Saab anyway. She goes
6 miles r/t and I go 45 miles backroads r/t daily, so we're gonna test
to see which is cheaper to run, and I get that. My expectation
(hope!) is the the 2000 Saab does better than the 2005 Dodge Gr
Caravan. (-Turbo baby!!)
Thanks in advance for any answers, advice, suggestions, input anyone
has to offer.
