Re: thinking of selling the cav need some ideas

I know the 900's can be very cheaply bought in pretty good condition so I'd agree with if you have the spare cash and room get the saab as well... have to say though everything the cav can do the saab does and when fiddled with, better... hate to say it but those engines are so easy to remap and tu...
