hello everybody.
i have recently inherited a 1999 Saab 9-3 turbo convertible, it was my brothers... he passed away in february 2002. the car has been under the "care" of my step-mother. the car has been garaged for 4 years, and during that time, the car has never been started (i know!) i have finally convinced her the car would be better served belonging to me.
so, what percautions do i need to take before driving it again. if i recharge the battery, and fire it up will i cause problems, secondary to the old oil, old gas? what about spark plugs, fuel injectors? the car is in cheyenne, wyoming, which means no saab dealership. so i was wondering if i should have it towed to a local mechanic, or is it safe to start it, and drive to the mechanic, and like i asked previously, what should i have done to it, so i dont cause any serious damage?
any and all advice is appreciated.
thank you
ben
