Pillock Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 Due to sudden loss of storage and the parking nightmare we have round here, I can't really keep this so it's time for some other lucky soul to be an owner. Quite gutted to be writing this but it seems the alternative is just park it outside random people's houses half a mile away. FACTZ:137kManualMoT until May 19thSix Hundred QuidCar located near M1 Junction 22 Good bits:Electrical things work, including 4x EW, heated seats, air conditioning, CD changer, electric hood, headlamp wash/wipe.SID has no missing pixelsDecent tread on the tyres, don't go looking for premium brands though.MASSIVE amount of service history - huge folder totalling over 8kNew hood fitted by a Saab dealer a couple of years back. It's really good, not a single leak - and typically it pisses it down every time I take this car out.Turbo isn't very old, there's a receipt for it from two years back or so.Leather is all there, a little worn on the drivers seat but not ripped or worn out.Autoshite Bike - ex-Cavcraft, ex-Stephen01. Comes with free Autoshite sticker.Was once sat in by Billy's Guard DogIt's got a personal plate, ideal if your name is John and you own a lemon farm.Goes like stink. Bad bits:It's not mint. Front bumper has a patch of paint missing, rear bumper had been touched in, couple of carpark dings and there appears to be a slight crease just above the rubbing strip that I probably could have got away with not mentioning. Damn.Air Con Control has some segments missing, I've got a repair kit here that I've not used yet as the soldering skills outweigh my talents.Brakes need doing. Advisory last MOT and despite having loads of meat left on them, they're a bit noisy. They stop OK though.Advisory for torsion bar play The headliner has come unclipped from the frame in the centre. It's meant to be an easy fix, just clips back on but I'm being thick and I can't make it work. You literally just half-fold the top so there's a gap to get your arm in but I can't feel how the clip goes on.It's winter and it's a stupid time to have to sell a floppytop. outlaw118, andrew e, stephen01 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Sorry, can't do any swaps unless it's for pictures of the queen - if it wasn't for the storage issues this would be a long term keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fat_Pirate Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I wanted to buy this last time it came up! And only yesterday I put down a deposit on one! It's an auto though, Mrs Pirate's dodgy knee rules out a manual. That looks fine value though, many of those I've looked at have had shrunken/leaky hoods, so a recent replacement is a big plus.

Pillock Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Won't be ROFLing it yet as there's a Rover currently up for grabs and it always seems that too many raffles at once, neither gets a full complement of sold tickets. But it's definitely an option, it'll be a tenner a ticket if/when it comes to that. Yeah, sorry Mr Pirate, I've amended the advert to say it's a Manuel rather than Mills-o-tronic. I knew there was something I missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthbay Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 When does it need to be gone by? I would love it but about to have some building work done and need to keep room for a skip for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 I've probably got about a month before it needs to be gone. The guy who owns the garages has let me park it on his hard standing but he lets it out for caravan storage so will have to bump me if he gets a better offer.

Pillock Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Price reflects the fact it's pissing it down right now! You could be warm and dry sat on gently heated beef through the winter, slap some brake disks on it and double your money* in the summer. * (Value of your investment may go up as well as down.

chaseracer Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Disappointingly, ah'm oot. As the sensible half of this relationship has pointed out, space is limited here too - especially if the Dyane is coming out to play. Also, she likes having her front garden back. Arsebiscuits.

NorthernMonkey Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Looks like another collection thread....just like buses, none for ages then I land three in as many weeks.Not for me though, this one. It's not got a three pointed star for starters.... No, F-i-L has always loved Saabs and when I showed him this one at teatime, his eyes glazed a little. Anyhows, plan is I'll flog his Scenic for him which should cover a fair bit of the purchase price of this one anyway, then he can use this as his daily with the added advantage that we can borrow it for the odd away day. All the benefit of a cabby without having to actually buy and tax the thing! Of course, I'll have to maintain it for him but it can't be any more demanding than the Renault which has had an engine rebuild (timing belt went bye byes), new alloys and tyres which I liberated from a scrappy pxer and new discs and pads all round. Being a very late model mk1, it should find a buyer easily enough as they have a bit of a following, being of far better build quality (not difficult, admittedly) than the newer ones. More to follow Sunday morning... Lacquer Peel, stripped fred, Pillock and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
