Default Hi, Just Got My First Saab 9 3 SE 5

Just purchased a 1999 9 3 5 door SE. I am very excited. Runs like a dream.. Pretty sure it is the 200 hp version (5 spoke wheels). My wife is Swedish so I made serious bonus points with the father in law. I will post some pics soon. I had to have 4 doors and room for 3 ankle biters in the back but I still feel like I got the sports car I wanted.

110,000 miles, which is a little high I guess for a 99, but I got a real good deal on it. Any tips on where to get cheaper parts? I need a right headlamp, 2 fog lamps, and a new antenna mast for starts.

Can I attach images, or do I have to post them elsewhere and post a link here?

I would do a DRL-disable. It will save you serious $$ on replacement bulbs.
Clean car!
