#1526 of 1530 Re: No Vehicle History Report - Maybe European Delivery? [kyfdx] by billy44bob44 Aug 26, 2009 (8:32 am)
Replying to: kyfdx (Aug 25, 2009 3:33 pm) It is not being sold by a Saab dealership, it is being sold by a Lexus dealer who received the car as a trade-in.   I contacted a Saab dealership and also Saab customer asssistance and they both said they could find no record of this VIN. I double-checked the VIN myself by looking at the car. They said that they can normally find vehicles in their system even if they were obtained via the european delivery program or even cars made for europe. They could not think of why a Saab VIN would not be in their system.   I am concerned about buying this car because I don't know anything about its history and I might not be able to get saab warranty service (it should have some of its 4 years remaining).   Any ideas?   Thanks.

Replying to: billy44bob44 (Aug 26, 2009 8:32 am) Something isn't right.... maybe a V substituted for a U, or something..   No way a car is in the US for two years and doesn't have some sort of records... even from Saab..   Canadian model?

04 BUICK rendezvous:Due to worn bushings mechanic said I needed to have both lower control arms replaced. Buick dealer inspected and replaced only the RT/LT control arm bushings. Should I be concerned about lower control arms? Replies to this message: dtownfb (Nov 19, 2009 8:24 am)

Replying to: wtap2 (Nov 19, 2009 3:36 am) The lower control arms are pretty beefy parts. Most of the time only the bushings need to be replaced. These are the parts that wear out and cause the problems. I would not be concerned at all.
