I had a non Turbo and always wanted a Viggen 4 door. I still would buy one.
With snow tires that plowed through the snow. I never had a problem with it.

Pretty easy to work on. They have a lot of front subframe bushings that get squeaky and motor mounts that need replacing now and again, but they are pretty easy to replace. Turbo is a fun little car to drive.

if you had to choose between:
99 9-3 Convertible (not sure if HOT or just T) 1979 E24 need lots of work or 1980 R107 Merceedes (450 SL roadster) all in the same price range for a driver/project which would you pick.

The R107. More of a classic than anything listed.

Didn't they go out of business a while ago? I think I heard something about that on top gear. If they did, wouldn't it be hard to get replacement parts?

Saab is out of business. I heard it on top gear also. However, there is a company ( I'm not sure of its name) that will be manufacturing Saab parts for the next 3-4 years so I suppose once that is over and inventory runs out it will be difficult to find the parts. Nothing to worry about right away, but def something to keep in mind.

I would imagine OEM parts may be hard to source, but aftermarket shouldn't be a problem.

Friend had a viggen. Was ok stock. Tons of torque steer. Became undrivable when modified mildly. Parts are scarce and expensive. Worse in every way compared to an e36, e46, e90.
