In the market for upgrading current estate car.....limited to auto transmission and estate, plus, would be doing below average annual mileage.
Was offered last night a Saab 9.3 1.9 TID Vector Estate for €6,900. Just over the 100k in km and auto, and diesel.
Nice looking car, and my thoughts are that price is ok, but, not a giveaway by any means, as its a 2006.
Any views on the price and the reliability or otherwise on these, as never had or drove Saab's before.
Thanks
Did 100k in 4 years in 2006 one (manual), before changing to an 05 auto 9-5 in 2012. Zero problems bar 2 shocks at rear 2 drop links at front (crap roads I'd wager..), . Average mpg was about 42mpg. Lovely smooth engine.
Servicing was by local Indy, so not expensive (€180 - € 250), timing belt cost me €410 iirc to do.
When I was changing - the only reason was for an auto - I drove an auto 9-3 and thought the 'box very good compared to an 05 9-5 Auto. I bought a 9-5 instead which has an older, bigger engine (...tax
), but car was a good bit cheaper, and the car bigger. The 9-5 returns 36mpg with her in it :rolleyes: and 38mpg+ with me in it. I would suspect the 9-3 would be a bit lighter being more modern, better 'box, smaller engine and probably lighter.
Like everything else, the pool of good used cars here is shrinking, so the €6900 you were asked isn't far off tbh - I got €6200 for my manual, and it needed a DMF at that stage (170k), so a good car is a good car and will sell all day long. Auto's even more so, these days imho.
If you're mileage is very low, a petrol would be an lot cheaper, probably easier to find, and little in the way of extra expense. Probably lower servicing etc too, as with any petrol vs diesel comparison.Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
