so you're looking for a car
well actually not but i'm all ways looking at them you know you know yeah it uh
yeah i know that feeling
mines about ten years old now so debating weather to run it into the ground
uh-huh
put up with those headache or get something new
hum
you know am convince that um it's always cheaper to repair than replace
and uh you know if you replace there are other reason for doing it
like you want you know my my answer to a car is it's okay if it ugly um it okay depending on the amount there is a bunch of other things that okay that it is it got to be reliable there is no excuse for that
right that's number one well that and safety
yeah yeah
safe and reliable
um-hum well safety is subjective i think um you know one person criteria of safety is maybe a little different from another person
well i think yeah that's true but reliability you know if it's not reliable it's not safe
well the you know not reliable company it it will never start in which case extremely safe
well may be not if you're on the Trans Alaska highway
yeah that's true there are places where you can starve or freeze to death if your car want start
um for a while i was a proponent of Saab's and um i have had two of them and one was a tremendous one disappointment from a reliability view point
and um
basically i decided to get rid of it before the warranty ran out
uh
and i think i was cured of the European motoring mystic
at that point
well the Saab does have a lot of good features and the reliability is uh like one of the few things i worry about with Saab
um have you own one or
no i haven't but uh you know look looking around it does seem like a roomy
guess i'm
good handling
you know if it weren't for the reliability in every other respect the car was wonderful drove great ton of room very very safe but front wheel drive which with me a plus but i just keep having um string of minor malfunctions
yeah exactly
yeah
and um just the process of have to pay for these thing you know also the increments is what a hundred and fifty dollars two hundred fifty every time you take it to a mechanic and touch it hundred dollars hundred dollars hundred dollars
oh yeah
well that's
yeah that's the other drawback of Saab is that they are not really cheap
yeah its can of funny because um i was having it repaired at this place called Import Only
and um this guy's comment was
and i asked him you know you you repair them all what do you think is best kind of reliability and he kind of get a Japanese car
um that starting to fall out of fashion these days
oh yeah a lot of flag waving going on
uh
yeah you know i'm convince that well you it kind of interesting is what i'm driving right now is a Ford Probe which is manufactured in a Mazda factory in Illinois
so i'm not sure weather it's an import or not
well that's a serious problem if your concerned with that i don't its possible the where things are built anyone
yeah it's fake it's fake because see i mean even if i i'm sure the um
you know if you take the most Americanized in American cars and you know pry open one of those computer you will find a computer chip that were assemble in Singapore
and so forth uh it's just difficult difficult
oh yeah you know
i mean it's got funny coming once just before and um
equal the orange juice was label concentrate manufactured in the United States and Turkey
who would have though of it apple say orange apple apple juice and turkey
yeah its probably own by a European country company that's employing Mexican
very probably you know its um yeah i think the ideal of um yeah its interesting because you know the location um
you you know
don't seem to uh you know you you can work over several thousands of miles not like it once was
use use to be they request uh penalty for uh doing it but i don't think it's true any more
yeah it seems like a
oh well transportation does still cost
and so
yeah absolutely um you know but there may be other bigger factors so if you decide to replace this ten year vehicle what what is the prime contender right know
well uh i was i was actually thinking of the Saab nine thousands
yeah i own one
but there's a there's a few other hatchbacks
yeah
no well i have it a Toyota and i like the Toyota's
yeah
um which kind
it's a a Supra
uh-huh
so it handles really well so i'm reluctant to get anything that handles poorly
yeah
uh you would like the Saab have you driven one
um i drove a nine hundred about five years years ago
um-hum
yeah
it was very nice
well i had had a nine hundred which i replaced the nine thousand nine thousands is the one that gave me a lot of problems
uh
um
i happen the think the nine hundreds is a uh i like the nine hundred better it it had more of the Saab weirdness which really attracted me
yes uh i don't mine ugly
yeah
um you know it's um
in fact i really don't
