Am I out of touch or is this really just 800 sheets

 

 

Got to be of interest to someone after a cheap Auto Load Lugger

I thought this was quite interesting: http://retrorides.proboards86.com/index ... read=53542

 

Bit above my abilities though.

Weird...Ifollowed a yellow saab 900s drophead from the city about 1/2 hour ago. Suspect it was not that one though

amazing what you can pick up for buttons these days isn't it.So long as you don't worry over booked mileage, there are SO many nice motors to be had. When I think back to when I started driving, £800 bought you a shagged Fiesta, £500 a shagged Chavalier, £250 a shagged skoda.I reckon that SRSLY if I sorted the bubbles on the arches of my BMW I could enter it in a show and shine despite 181k on the clock. GR8 times 4 skinflintz

Saabs always seem to have low residual values, not sure why, they're pretty dependable, and now that GSF stock parts, not that expensive to fix and service. I've had a few 9000's and the aforementioned 9-3. They may not be the most exciting cars on the planet, but I think thats the point of them.

I wanted a Saab for years and always hankered after a 900 turbo. Sadly my wife was always against the idea because she saw them as boxy, dowdy and only driven by flat-cap wearing oaps! This from a woman who drove a Favorit GLX for 3 years!Anyway, imagine my shock when she bought a 900s on eBay last week. I'm still shell-shocked. I think she wanted something more 'sensible' to support her upcoming newly qualified teacher status!

Yup, picked up a late 80's softop Saab turbo a few days back-£300.Needs new brake pads (supplied with it) and 3 inchs of welding for its Spring timeticket.A very happy Mrs B. Urgently needs a rollbar though-methinks!

That 9-5 seems supacheap, but they do seem to suffer big end and camchain failures, usually due to extended oil change intervals. I still like 'em though, and they are "on the list" should Mrs W need a wagon if another Welflet enters gestation.

My boss has just picked up a '98 9-5 low pressure turbo jobbie. It's nice, tan leather and dark green paint. Was advertised for £500, when he got there the power steering pump was groaning a bit so the chap knocked £150 off. Needed the climate control display thing sorting but we did that at work in a break. So £350, taxed for 6 months, full years test.

we use Saabs and currently have a 4 year old 9-5...we bought it to replace our 1999 9-5...love them, if looked after are uber reliable and a comfy ride, not the most exciting drive but dependable all the same, were due to upgrade it again this year but seeing as it;'s worth next to nowt in the current economic climate......its staying.Still need shite though, not found a replacement for the old Audio and that went months ago

The 96 Saab 900SE i picked up on Saturday with T & T @ 132000 miles was 200 notes.

Think most oaps would lose their cap in my old 200bhp T16S, the last car they made that actually handled. Also loved the 9K 2.3 aero - quick car.Saab died for me when GM bought it....

Can't be that bad surely? We've had our NG900s for a week now and it's probably one of the best packages we have ever driven. It's amongst some good company too.
