    Had a couple of 2.5TT's, 1JZ-GTE. Always wanted the 4.0 litre, but couldn't bring myself to pay the roadtax! :o
    If I ever get around to it, I'll definitely get one and throw a supercharger on it.


    All us petrol heads would have big capacity engines if it wasnt for that cursid road tax ;)

    Nah you wouldnt, because if there was no exorbitant *MOTOR* tax, the cars would not depreciate so much

    I'm not really as clued in to the Irish car market as I used to be. Can someone please explain to me why there are so many Saabs in the bangernomics thread.

    Thanks.

    Can be good value if one chooses carefully

    "Oh Saab has gone wallop, I'll never get bits for one again" also led to panic selling

    Most of he Saabs here are petrol, a burden to most in the modern diesel economy we live in

    It's easy to get stung if you don't know what to look out for...

    There are some fantastic Saab bargains out there, and I'm leaning towards one myself, mainly the 95 Aero HOT. Lovely car, but if it whines or sounds like a diesel, run!

    Id be getting that on a gas analyser before buying it.

    On a €400 car? Meh. Just drive it for 4 months, NCT it.

    Best case scenario -> keep driving it or sell it for twice what you paid for it :D

    Worst case scenario -> sell it for scrap...

    And then buy your next bangernomics...

    Absolutely agree, wouldn't bother with anything like that tbh. Pretty cheap motoring right there if it's not a total sh1tbox.

    Can't imagine the 1.4 engine being strong enough to push that lump.

    If there is a good service history with fully synth oil changes, that one could prove to be a winner. Looks well minded and there's a new NCT (done early - always a good sign too in my book). Surely he'll take 1200 for it.

    IS200's don't feature as much as SAABs here.. any reason they're not as loved?

    Most of them have been modded beyond repair so they just end up in the skanger mobiles thread:p

    That said, when they're not modded too much I quite like them. But I heard they like their juice

    No thirstier than a Saab 95 or 318i though? And probably a lot less spent on repairs. A good example would suit a low miler , maybe an LPG conversion would be the answer?

    TBH I don't know about the MPG on the Saab or BMW I just remember when I was 16/17 a lad around here was driving one and got rid of it because it ate through his wallet in fuel. Then again he had an induction kit, dust bin exhaust and was quiet keen on the peddle on the right so probably his own downfall.
