I've looked at this car personally.
It has a Saab 900 intercooler, and it was an AT but was swapped to an MT.
Anyone on here?

Just wondering--the body moulding looks whitish--was it sprayed white? And if you got to test drive it, how did it perform?

Hopefully someone didn't buy it. I probably should have said from the beginning what a pile it was.
Rusted to HELL! I mean, I wouldn't feel safe just driving normally down the street, let alone racing it. And yes, it was painted over.
It was swapped from an auto to a 5spd using a nonturbo transmission. I don't know how the shifter was mounted, but it felt like it was about ready to fall out of the car. The guy selling it said he just gave the dealership (not mine) the VIN, and they got him the correct clutch. So I have no idea how that worked.
I guess I've seen worse mods (strangely, no CEL), and the motor sounded good. But still, no thanks. He wanted almost $2k for it too!
It's very rare for me to see a 1st-gen Legacy Turbo around here, so every one catches my attention. But even the exclusivity wasn't worth this car's problems.
