Continuation from motors chat round 4 1.This thread is for motoring topics which you feel are not worthy of starting a new thread for, banter from a meet or general motoring related chit chat. 2.No lonely hearts (This is not a personal dig at anyone, it's how we feel is the best way to describe what we want to avoid. )…

It genuinely reminded me of this...

To be honest it doesn't sound nice on idle, it'd be unreal up in the revs but that idle does nothing. Maybe its the camera.

I'd love to know how they got the car like that :pac:

Also just to throw the question out there, if i were selling the saab, what would be a realistic price to ask for, given the work done on it and so on?

Not selling it but it's crossed my mind

Ah sure not even broken in. My golf had 100k km on it when I got it 104k km on it now and it feels like new to drive I suppose it's all down to how there minded. Often wondered what you get out if a minded car before it would start causing trouble I suppose 300k km would be easy achievable.

If you could get an enthusiast who appreciate the car for what it is and the work that was done to it. Unfortunately most of the time the money you put in you don't get back at sale time I got 750 euro less than what I paid for the focus and if you through in all the money I put into it you'd come up with some scary numbers.
