Hi-
I am looking at purchasing a 1999 9-5 2.3L 4cyl with 86,000 miles
and have had it checked by a shop including having an engine
compression test done.
The readings from the cylinders are: #1: 117, #2: 116, #3: 114, #4: 116.
My question is: how are these readings for a car this age with this
many miles ? And how many miles should this engine run ? 250K+?
Also - is there anything in particular that I should check into with a magnifying glass on this car ? When will the timing belt need to get changed?
This is my first Saab so I am unfamiliar with them... but so far I have
not seen or read anything negative on them.
Thanks for your help.
