gadgetgricey Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Not sure if I'm doing the right thing selling this as owned it for a few years, but its not getting used that much so cant really justify hanging on to it.

Never investigated further as just put heater on recirc.Passenger door has stopped "locking" via central locking on standard. But does lock if deadlock car by extra turn of key???Scrape to front bumper - Been there since I've had the car.Rust spot to front bonnetSmall hole in drivers seat.Car does not have heated seats, I just had a set of buttons so fiited them.Associated scratches and marks with a car of this age, which can be seen when up close. May polish out but not tried.Tow barMulti disc cd player in boot.Additional Bass Box added under passenger seat.Electric Hood fully working without fault.On occasion shows Brake Light Failure on SID display, but its one of the 4 high brake light bulbs in the boot. The "main" brake lights work fine.Electric AerialRecently had a new Crank Sensor as previous one failed.Cam belt done about 15K ago by previous owner.Has "fixings/holes" for rear wind deflector, but sold that a while ago, as always had the kids in the car.4x Electric Windows all working.Saab Viking Alloy wheelsTwo KeysApologies for the "randomness" of the above list, but did not want to miss anything.Couple of pics below, but then a link to a load more pictures I took this morning.Link below to all photo's including video of roof.http://s222.photobucket.com/user/gadgetgricey/library/Saab%20900%20v6%20ConvertibleCar is located in Halesowen in the West Midlands.£550 ono.Any questions get back to me.Cheers RichardMoss and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Bloody hell, that's nice! Anyone want an MR2, quick sale for cash, delivery to midlands possible...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Livered Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Nice. I've never driven a V6 one of these; how quick are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgetgricey Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share Posted April 17, 2014 It's not Saab Turbo fast, as does not have the kick in the back. However 170 bhp in a convertible is plenty. Got it as as an Auto as wanted a lid off cruiser with a bit of poke, rather than a point and shoot car.Also got a stainless powerflow exhaust back box, so has a lovely "growl" Cheers Dave (Sent from my phone so excuse any typos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 That's ace, is it a proper* Saab (i.e from when GM owned them) and is it the GM V6 engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Is this the same V6 as fitted to the Cavalier of the same era? I remember my mates Cav was absurdly economical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardMoss Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I like that. I have a rather scabby silver one the same age (complete with buggered hood mechanism) and it has all the required bits to sort this. Making one nice one from two, and then selling the left overs, is tempting me (severely). I'd need it to be "stored" for a couple of months, though.......

barmatt Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Is this the same V6 as fitted to the Cavalier of the same era? I remember my mates Cav was absurdly economical. It is the same engine as the Cav v6, I've been thrashing around in the one I bought off Wuvvum of this parish a couple of months ago and it's returning 29mpg. That includes the occasional moments of madness (read...the sports button is always on, just in case ). Bloody bargain floppy top driving for someone. Get it bought. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadgetgricey Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Price increase , but in effect a price reduction. Now £550, but comes with 6 months road tax as of tomorrow. Any questions get back to me. Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 What happened when the crank sensor failed? It didn't run at all, or ran like a pile of dung? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadgetgricey Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 No warnings at all running fine, just went to use it the next day and would not start. New crank sensor eventually fitted and started first time. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadgetgricey Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Car now sold. Looking forward to the standard Petrol Station collection picture from "The Moog" Sad day at Gadgetgricey towers. Realised last night that I'd owned the car for 8 years, but only done 246 miles since the last MOT. Hope you enjoy the car Will. - Dave - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
