For Sale Saab 9-5 2.3 turbo automatic estate.

[Barry Cade]

2002 2.3 t auto estate.4 spd. Took us to Italy in the summer . I've done a sump drop,latest breather kit,replacement late  Di unit-,genuine Saab oil and filter from Neos .replacement radiator and aux belt, air con sorted, climate control sorted, pixels sorted 17"double y wheels fitted,genuine removable Saab towbar fitted by me-didn't have one.. New flat wipers.Stelvio sticker on the tailgate. vaccum hoses replaced. Has been smoked in, the dog's been in it and I've farted in it once or twice.

 

MOT June next year,

 

Working cruise, aircon, parking sensors,headlamp wipers, 4 electric windows and 2 keys- both working remotes

 

Has the old Di which put the EML on but ran great, kept as a spare. No warning lights on at all, ABS ring replaced to cure judder when coming to a halt. 4 decent spare 16" alloys to go with it, tyres on limit- was going to put winters on them for, well...winter.

 

Rear pads low, have new ones in the boot, which I think are the right ones.

1 time in 10 it puffs smoke from a cold start for a second.

front wheels may need balanced- slight shimmy from 75-85

one way valve in breather hose missing- may be the cause of the smoke?

 

Drives very well, fast and good on fuel on a run. Loads of room, quiet engine,boosts properly and generally just a very decent car. Need room/funds for the others.

 

£650.

[chatsharris]

I bloody love Saabs, and that looks like a corking bargain.

[xtriple]

[Jazoli]

Ooooooh nice...........

I had a manual saloon until earlier this year and despite various niggles, I absolutely loved it. GLWTS

What's the mpg round town?

 

I am very tempted.

[SiC]

Wrong question. It's a big petrol slush auto! I would be surprised if you got more than 22mpg around town.

 

Looks a lovely motor. Even if silver, my most hated colour of a car!

[stripped fred]

That does look a very smart car. I love the design of these. Not for me at the moment though due to usual excuses. I predict they will become vary rare in the next few years too. Note to self, don't leave it too late!

[Shep Shepherd]

Total bargain! 9-5s are excellent cars

I am very tempted.

Seems to sit at 25.7 for me running around on my days off.

[purplebargeken]

The important thing that I learned many years ago is to not give a flying fuck about MPG. Just enjoy the car and not grimace too much when filling it up.

Agreed, but the space hopper seems to do about 25 round town and then 32 on a run and that is a 1.8!  

[Jazoli]

Don't suppose you want a ybr125 do you?

[Bobthebeard]

Am interested......

Looking for one if these to tinker with next year at the caravan, then press into service next autumn when the Honda Accord is retired/sold on. Ticks all the boxes TBH. The next Beardmobile dog carrier?

Could pay asking price early January and collect....

You have a PM Barry.

[Barry Cade]

No problem Mr The Beard

 I'm off for 9 days in January so would be ideal. It does carry dogs excellently, although this was part of the reason I got it and Roscoe won't go in the back..he has to sit in the passengers seat and drool all over the window switches and keys. Sweden proof and bassett drool proof . I'll cleanup the drool obv..

Purchase and collection now arranged (train ticket soon to be bought). This place is what it always was and is etc etc...

Am jolly excited as never owned a Saab before!

😊

[stripped fred]

I think you've got yourself a good one there. Early Xmas present!

[Bobthebeard]

I reckon so.. Especially as Barry Cade has owned it and sorted out the usual issues. Not collecting until January so a late Christmas present really.

[oldcars]

Well bought, you might even get to see his 75, it looks a cracker too.
