Definitely ditch the SAAB unless you can somehow find a newer one as the older, "beaters," have a vacuum system from hell and are a complete nightmare to work on.

Ditch everything European, their reliability becomes hornedous with age and in your price range you'll find junkers, not beaters. If you go with a Subby, get an AT, I guess their older MT's are prone to breaking.

I tend to disagree with you guys. Any car thats old and wasnt taken care of will crap out.

The only thing with Euro cars is that parts are a tad more. Volvos on the other hand ussually run forever.
