roffle 2005 SAAB 95 AERO HOT MANUAL SALOON £soldtobeslammed

[loserone]

I reckon I fancy a change.  This is nice.  Really, quite nice indeed.

 

But regular readers will know I am growing keener on having a comfortable ride quality these days, and this has 17" wheels on.  Wheels bigger than 15" are suitable only for bicycles.  Hence, here's a roffle.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

GOOD:

Black

Tan leather in good nice

Dual zone climate control which works

Heated leather front and rear

It's the top spec 250BHP HOT one so it's not entirely slow

Two good keys

Memory seats

Stack of history rivalling a CISSP textbook

MOT until 03/08/2021

I'm getting 33 MPG from it.

Everything works.

BAD:

Lacquer peel.  The roof and bonnet have been resprayed at some point, and nearly all the lacquer has come off.  I reckon 5 minutes with a jetwash would make it look matt and less noticeable. 
The exhaust has started blowing recently.  I've not even looked at it, it's fine from the inside but throaty from the outside.

It will need a small patch on the bottom of the wheel arch on one side, but looks nothing like as bad as the maroon one which was recently for sale on here.

@davehedgehog31 reckons it sometimes uses a bit of oil.  The owner previous to him had the turbo changed 50k ago (!) in an attempt to resolve this.  However, I've found that generally it's not using oil any more than I might reasonably expect - say, half a pint every 1000 miles?

The OSF wheelbearing drones at 50-55MPH.  I don't do 50-55MPH anywhere, I'm either doing 30 or 80, so this hasn't affected me.  However, there's a new wheelbearing for it in the boot.  I'm THAT lazy.

Given the SMOLL HOLES in the exhaust and wheelarch, I'm sure it's not worth as much as the marvellous looking one for sale on here elsewhere with the lower spec and smaller engine and wrong gearbag.  So I reckon £12 a ticket, or three for £30.  Sound alright?

Very very tempted.

Where's the location of this fine steed/nearest train station?

Could do with moving to the sales forum?

Not far from Alston.  Can collect from Carlise or Durham railway stations, or Newcastle airport.

I would normally agree, but roffles run faster in the main forum *shrugs*

[Jim Bell]

Hat trick over here please.  

[wesacosa]

I used to daily an LPG one until some moron wrote it off when parked. Fabulous car, seats are supremely comfortable and pulls like a train.  Not many left now especially manual aero HOTs

I can confirm that I cannot feel through the amazing seats when I am being kicked in the back by a small child.

 

Also, they stop kicking if you put your foot down 

[Andy F]

I'm amazed this isn't further along, have a free bump. I would very much like to win this, if only to wipe the floor with my brothers 2000 Golf GIT. (1.8t) 

[primeradoner]

25 and a couple of randoms please

[barefoot]

I haven't entered a roffle since I won that gorgeous Vel Satis, but if this had a proper Mills O matic box & wasn't a millionty miles away, I would have had a pop or three at this.

I CAN HAZ DISSAPOINT.

[CaptainBoom]

Ooooof!  That is pretty.  Please may I have three randoms?

[CortinaDave]

3 for 30 please. Number 11 and 2 randoms

[loserone]

Roffle off, sorry.

 

A mackem with a chain of vape shops gave me money for it, he plans to have it wrapped, slammed and chipped.  I wish him all the best of luck.
