Open Question: 94 Saab 900S Brake Problems? Any suggestions?
The front passenger side brake will not work. No fluid is coming out of the caliper or the brake line itself. When pressed with a clamp the caliper moves but may need replaced, but shouldn't brake fluid still come out when pumped and not attached to the caliper? We have replaced the master cylinder and all three others work fine. What could this be any suggestions or answers will be very appreciated.

Open Question: Should I buy a 1991 Saab 900 Turbo?
My buddy says he'll sell me his '91 Saab 900 Turbo. He's giving it to me for $1,000. It needs a new transmission, which I believe can cost as much as $2,000. Over the years he's put a lot into the car, everything from a gearbox to shocks to axles. The engine is good, but I know at 160,000 miles, more fixing is bound to come. I've heard mixed reviews about Saabs, but I live in New York and I think it might be easier to find a mechanic who can service the car. At this point, I'm tired of buses and subways, and I'd like to have my own wheels, but I don't want a car note either. Should I take the risk, or keep looking?

Resolved Question: Translation help needed. Estonia to English.?
Could someone help me to translate this text? Viljandi folgil kavatsetakse järgmisel aastal alkoholimüüki senisest piirata. Võib isegi õige otsus olla, mine sa tea. Põhjendus ajab sellegi poolest kulmu kergitama: folgil tuvastati tublisti rohkem alaealisest purjutajaid kui mullu. Kui ma väga ei eksi, siis on alkoholi müümine alaealistele juba praegu ööpäevaringselt keelatud. Kui nad aga sellele vaatamata folgile joobes ilmuvad, saab sellest järeldada, et müügi piirangud nendele mõju ei avalda. Nüüd siis tahetakse alaealiste ettekäändel täiskasvanute joomaaegu piirata, mis aga oletatavalt alaealiste joomist ei mõjuta. Kui seda reguleerimine mõjutaks, polnuks tänavusel folgipeol ühtegi purjus alaealist. Ei tea kas piiramisel ka täiskasvanute joomisele mõju on, vähemalt soovitud suunas. Ju siis ostetakse lubatud ajal igaks juhuks rohkem joomakraami, mis ka igal juhul ära juuakse.

Kordub vana tõde: kui sa juba oma arvamust avatud veebis avaldad, pead arvestama, et seda ka keegi loeb ja võib-olla tagasisidet läkitab. Ise peaksin ma seda äärmiselt positiivseks kui need firmad ja asutused, keda oma blogides kritiseerin, mu arvamust ka arvesse võtaksid.

Resolved Question: Are Saabs really "bad" cars?
I am looking to buy a used car soon, and I was particularly looking at the 9-3 or 9-5 Saab sedans. Probably 2006-2008 models. I've looked them up on consumer reports.com and they are rated pretty good all around. I've heard they are expensive to maintain but if they're good cars in the first place, they wont have to be maintained often, right? My dad is skeptical about them and just flat says no to the idea of me getting one. He just says they're bad cars, and parts are expensive. What do you think about Saabs, specifically if you've owned a 9-3 or 9-5 and what counter examples do i have to my father's answer of "no"? i live in connecticut if that helps

Resolved Question: Can TURBO car bring a lot of trouble to me??
Hello, I am going to buy my first car, i just saw one today from dealer, close to my uni. it is a 1994 SAAB 9000CS, with Turbo, 185000KMS. I tested drive, and check everything, all good. One thing i am so so confuse, because it is a turbo car. What about in the worst case, if one day the turbo is broken, is it expensive to fix? And I am also not to sure about how the turbo works, does that mean it only work when i drive in high speed, i think most the street the speed limit is 80k/hr, unless you drive on Monash Freeway. ^_^ Yeah, is the turbo easy to have problem? I thought the saab is european car, and it is reliable , may not have problem with engine. I am reaaly not sure about the turbo car, will it bring me a lot of trouble, for example, if maintenance or the services for the car. Thank you very much!

I few days ago, I "hit" a little issue while turning around on a puddle-covered dirt road. Since then, my car's made an obnoxious squealing sound.

Resolved Question: Insurance Company Totaled Car, Now wants to Change Offer?
Our 93 Saab was rear-ended and we did not get the other driver's insurance information. The bumper appeared intact, undamaged except for some scuff marks, though slightly shifted. What was damaged, however, was the gas tank which began leaking after the collission. We contacted our insurance company to report the accident and file a claim; we wanted the gas tank replaced, and wanted the car checked for frame damage, or other non-visible damage. The car was towed by the insurance company to their authorized repair center. The repair center prepared an initial estimate to replace the gas tank and do "body work" and "painting" to repair the car. We told the insurance company no body work was needed, nor painting, and only the gas tank was required. The insurance company insisted the car was damaged, and that it would be totaled due to the car's ~$2000 value, and the likelihood that further damage would be found once the bumper was removed. We spoke to the adjuster who supposedly viewed the car, he stated that it appeared the rear-body panel was damaged behind the bumper assembly, and it was his opinion the car was a total loss. Again, we protested, and told the adjuster the bumper didn't appear damaged to us, that they could deduct the cost of painting the bumper, etc., from the estimate, and just replace the gas tank. This went on back and forth for a week, at least, until the adjuster agreed to install a used gas tank if further damage was found. We agreed, the car was disassembled, and the body shop compiled a new estimate for a new rear bumper assembly, new gas tank (they would not install a used tank), painting, gas tank straps, fuel hose, etc... This new estimate exceeded the value of the car and we were told the car was a total loss. Again, we protested and insisted that we didn't think the bumper was necessary, but that we found used parts totalling $465 shipped that would bring the repair cost to less than a total loss repair. The insurance company refused and refused to allow us to repair the car ourselves (I am handy with cars). They also stated that even if we withdrew the claim, they would report the car as a total loss to the State of Florida and our title would be revoked. We protested and they said that the car is a total loss, talk to us if you can find someone to repair the car cheaper with used parts. We contacted an independent saab mechanic and they said liability issues would prevent them from installing a used gas tank, and they recommended against having anyone do this. At this point, we calculated the cost of purchasing another 93 Saab 9000, and it didn't make sense as we have invested over $5000 in our Saab over the last few years, including installing a brand new transmission. What made sense was buying a used Prius, and using the gas savings to compensate the interest. So, we negotiated a final settlement with a total loss value plus we would keep the car and the salvage value was waived. We figured we could always repair the vehicle with salvage title, or sell it to someone else who wanted to replace the gas tank and bumper and have an otherwise excellent Saab. We agreed to the settlement and were told we would receive fedexed paperwork the next day, and were told we only had a few days left on our rental car. That day we put a deposit on a used Prius as there were 15 buyers behind us, and received the car back from the auto body shop. Over the weekend, while we awaited bank funds to finalize purchase, we inspected the Saab. There was no damage to the rear-body panel, and no damage to the inner portion of the bumper assembly. Further, the auto body shop had failed to return nuts and bolts, and had damaged the fuel feed line. We also learned in the State of Florida once the car is declared a total loss (over 80% of value), that it could not be repaired to be driven. On Monday morning we picked up our Prius, finalizing payment, and contacted the insurance company to state that the body shop and adjuster had mis-represented damage and that we never received settlement paperwork. We stated we were fine with the settlement, as long as the title would be corrected to a "repairable title" vs a "certificate of destruction". The insurance company said they would send an independent appraiser to verify damage and get back to us. The independent appraiser arrived the next day and viewed damage. He stated there was no damage to the car other than the cracked gas tank (from force of impact), and that body shop had inflated damage. His repair estimate, with used gas tank, was $498, $2 less than our deductible. Insurance company wanted to deny claim. We protested, and claims person read file and realized the problem. They have now withdrawn the settlement offer and are giving us three options: 1. repair car and waive deductible 2. total vehicle (minus deductible) and retain vehicle 3. total vehicle (minus deductible) and sell back the car at $800 salvage value. What are our rights here? We fought for a month to convince the insurance company the auto body shop and adjuster were inflating damages. We were told the car would be totaled by State even if we withdrew claim. We were told we were running out of rental car days. We purchased a new car due to the position we were put in, plus stress of fighting insurance company for a month. It's nice of the insurance company to fix the car and waive deductible, but we just spend $23K on a Prius plus $1500 tax and tag. Naturally, they didn't force us to buy a Prius, but what do we deserve here? Your thoughts, we just want a fair settlement. I appreciate the responses... I'm not sure how I got what I asked for. All I asked for was for them to follow-thru on their settlement offer, but correct the damage estimate to $1200, the actual price to install a new gas tank ($498 estimate is for used gas tank that insurance company initially refused to install), so that I could have a salvage/driveable title, not a certificate of destruction which means the car cannot be repaired and titled (except in Kentucky perhaps, for Kentucky roads). That would leave me with $1900 which would cover the cost of me repairing vehicle myself, and taxes/title on the Prius, so I'm made whole. I agree, option A here is the best, provided they install a new gas tank by Dealer, and don't have one of their shops mess things up any further than they have already, but I still feel I deserve compensation for a month of phone calls, arguing, and tax/title on the Prius. I know states like Washington award triple-damages for bad faith ins.settlements
