    Care to elaborate?

    They're overpriced at the moment and you will get bored of it.
    also repairs are very costly.
    not very comfortable on long trips.
    I thought you loved your 172 SV?

    so much i crashed it

    Sure isn't all of the above part of the fun.

    There were 3 or 4 lads out in them at the last trackday I had my Teg at, they seemed to be having the craic. I ended up having an amazing dice with a lad in some special F1 edition. He could outbrake me into the final turn then I was passing at the pit wall and he'd be on my bumper for the rest of the lap. I'd never met him before but afterwards I went over to him in the pits and we were both sweating buckets but agreed it was an epic bit of time on the track

    I'm getting an awful horn for a Saab 95 or 93. Can someone advise something to make the swelling go down before I have an accident?

    There's only a few around at the minute alright. The repairs bit would worry me, but I literally want something purely for fun. Don't really have a need to drive at the minute, cycle most places. So a glorified go-kart on wheels is what appeals to me:D

    Get a Volvo C70 T5 instead. Much better value. Has to be no younger than a '05 though.

    Can't do anything until the summer and has to be a diesel. I just started surfing the net this evening and couldn't tear myself away from them. If SAAB go under it would make a nice cheap purchase

    the 95s are horrible looking imo. much better off getting an aero 93. the post 2007 models got a facelifted interior which is miles nicer than the previous one.

    Test drove a 2007 with the interior upgrades but the exterior was the same (random and it was at a main dealer). Love the drive and engine but would prefer a 2008 model.

    Anyway this is all hypothetical as I'm doing nothing now.

    BTW I like the exterior of the 95 but the dash is very old school


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,238 ✭✭✭Ardennes1944


    oh well if you've the funds for a new model then get one. they are very nice. just outside my budget though. theres a fully loaded minty one around Togher, love it!

    No funds for a new model, used is always the smart choice if you can find a good one :)

    I'd be aiming for a 2008/9 model I'd say

    Yes, apologies.

    I thought you meant a new model 95. I like the exterior facelift of 2008 for the 93. Although if they were cheap enough I'd nearly go for the older model so long as it had leather.
