I own a 97 2.0 LPT Anniversary. It has both driver and passenger airbags. Don't know if either could be made optional. But I recall reading from somewhere that Saab removed the glove compartment to put in passenger airbags and put in space between the two front seats and a pouch pocket below the front seats to make up.

Might be a good idea to check from some source which lists exact specs of particular models.

'Model Year 1994

Improvements for 1994 included tinted, heat absorbing glass. Electrically operated mirrors and windows and a driver's airbag became standard on all models. The Passenger airbag was optional. '

I agree Dave_NI.

When I go to buy a car and particularly a Saab, if I found it didn't have airbags, I would walk away no matter how cheap I get it (even if they had gone off accidentally).
One of the big positives of a Saab is the safety aspect and without an airbag safety is greatly compromised.

PaulD, I would walk away. I bought mine only a few months back and I can tell you that there are plenty of nicely priced 9Ks available in the market. A little looking around and you can get many very good deals. You might want to reconsider this particular one.
