320touring's Shitey Saab 9-5 Fuckitybye 16/1/21

[320touring]

I'm sitting waiting like an expectant father...

 

It was on a covid test when I got it, so unsure how it will do.

Hope it's not as bad as @aldo135 !

[loserone]

[The Moog]

Many crossed fingas

[Equihectay]

[beko1987]

Good luck! 

[320touring]

Pretty much the most modern car I have ever had..

 

 

Not great

[Split_Pin]

Aye! 6 of the failures are down to the nearside rear brakes, so likely not that bad.

 

The suspension bushes though...

 

And this is the rot/failed spring

The spring was fine last week - I think hauling road salt tipped it over the edge...

 

[Split_Pin]

That whole Chassis leg looks a bit crusty

Can people stop buying rusty Saab's please

You're buying the rong type of swede

Was just going to PM you on this subject mate! That’s a sore one. Couldn’t even make a good one out of the two of them

Kinda cements my thoughts on them. Needy big bastards! 

 

Just like me.

Nah, just not a proper Saab. This GM-era pish is just useless innit!

[GingerNuttz]

Weight reduction for more speed.

Put the good bits off yours onto this one?

Seems quite cheap for its mileage.

[hairnet]

just buy a 740

It's auto and my one only has 130k on it...

[beko1987]

Problem is are all Scottish saabs of the era age and price just going to be the same rusty shit hole? 

Sure I've seen another rusty scaab on these pages recently too... 

[320touring]

Cheerio Tae Fuck

Got decent bridge money for it, and it's no longer my problem.

 

The rear bushes were bad. This is the side with a functional spring, and the boot is empty

 

[Skizzer]

Sad but the right move. That had the look of an end of life car.

What’s taking up daily* lugging duties? More hot Seat Toledo action?

Ostensibly, aye.

 

However, the burd is not a fan of driving it, so I'll likely need to get the Clio sorted😔

[beko1987]

Very sensible. 

There's a fleet space now though... 

[wuvvum]

What you need is a nice Mazda 626.

[big_al_granvia]

so what model of volvo are you buying
