1985 900i 'Yellow Devil'

Purchased from an Ebay seller in 2004 for A$750 in running condition but it has a lot of niggly problems which are indicative of being very poorly cared for by the previous owner's preferred mechanic. 8-) It also has a rather serious case of lower chassis sill rust under the driver's side at the front, which probably means the bottom of the car has been abused and the protective coating gouged away to let water at the metal. It's a 1985 900i as a 4SN (ie. 4-door sedan) body shape with an 8-valve 'H'-block non-turbo engine and a robust Borg-Warner type-37 auto transmission.
Fairly generic model, but the significant feature is that 1985 was the year that Saab first released C900's with 16-valve engines. Saab continued to make C900's with 8-valve engines until about 1989.
