Ok Ok,, so the car went 1,000,000 miles; is it worth putting it into the museum? I"ve seen American pick-trucks go past 1 million miles.

it's the SPG model.. THE turbo model to have if you are into turbo saab 900s.

And yes, you may have seen american pickups with a million miles.. how many on the original engine, trans, and most of it's interior?

The article mentioned that the owner changed the transmission at 200,000 miles and he replaced some things in the engine. He also mentioned that he religously did maintenance and used only Synthetic oil.

The transmission was rebuilt not a new transmission.
