27654, Bought a car but it's not a DSM
Posted by QC DSM ESiT, Sep-27-07 05:48 PM
Well after searching FOREVER for a great condition DSM I've come to the conclusion that I will never find one that isn't abused or completely overpriced. So I come to realise that I need more money if I want a great condition DSM and I can't wait tell I get more money to have a realiable car. So I talked to my friend's grandma who was selling a mint condition Saab 900 Turbo. Turns out it's better then just an ordinary Saab 900. This car is a 1993 Saab 900 Turbo Commemorative Edition #86 of 325. I guess it's a very rare car and the fact that it only has 55,000 miles on it and was garaged all its life helps it out too. Well I picked it up for a great price and definitly enjoy the car. Anyway here are some pictures for ya guys.

They only made 325 of them because they realized it was butt ass ugly :P

Meeting at Saab HQ:

CEO: Oh god...what were we thinking? We need a solution quick!

Yes man: I know, we'll stop production, get some commemorative plates made up, inflate the price 25% and cut our losses.

CEO: MMMM...nah....how about this? We'll get some commemorative plates made up, stop production, inflate the price 25% and cut our losses.

Yes men: Great Idea sir!


LOL...just busting you balls Jordan. I'm glad you like it.

That car is clean. Ugly, but clean. BTW if it's rare why don't you try and sell it for more than you paide for, might help solve the problem of more money for a clean DSM. Now, how about an update on the turbo minivan ;)

Actually they made my body style for a good 15 years so they must of been doing something right. As I have figured out though its either you love it or you don't. I know your just busting my balls but I think you secretly love that car too. Don't worry though your secret is safe with me. ;-)

Thanks guys, even though some think its ugly I on the otherhand love the car :thumbsup I used to have an 84 900 Turbo that I paid $500 for and it got me around daily for 2 years with very little problems so they are very reliable. I love this car so I doubt I will sell it anytime soon, even though I'm sure I could get over twice what I paid for it. I will get another DSM some day but for now I will stick with this and the Turbo Caravan and save up some money for a DSM.

Not much to update with it. I've added an intercooler from... you guessed it a Saab 900 and made all the piping to fit with the intercooler. Upper intercooler piping has a Turbo XS RFL for the BOV and yes I scare the shit out of alot of people with it in a minivan. Other then that I added a boost gauge and kicked up the boost the 14 PSI which is about maximum for the little Mitsu. turbo that's on it. I just installed a new head and redid all the gaskets. I will be using it as my winter vehicle and in spring I will hopefully be up to the track a lot more with it. }(

Not a huge fan of the looks, but I still sorta like it.

There is one of those riding around the university area here and when that thing drives by it sounds like a beast.

Maybe I've been living under a rock, but what happened to your blue car?

My car got totaled a while back by a friend of mine. I was in the backseat because I was too drunk to drive and to make a long story short we were trying to figure out some directions and he wasn't paying attention so he hit the car in front of us. I don't really care for talking about much of the wreck though. That was my first car and I loved it to death. The car wouldn't run when I bought it back from the insurance company. I got it running and driving again though and luckily none of my mods were damaged... well except for the intercooler but only the top section of the core was damaged. It's too damaged though and won't be worth the amount of money to fix it. Here's some pictures of the carnage. ;(
