For the life of the gearbox, sure... AFAIR it uses a 6 speed Aisin.

Correct. Oil changes are very easily messed up, they have to be filled as they empty, gibbons method.

Great find, I would say turbo will need replacing soon enough as mine went at 92k when had one years ago

I've been perving on them for over a year now. Especially that era of 93. Beautiful car. If I had a garage for storage....

As nice as the convertible would be for the coming Summer months..the hardtop 3dr I posted on the last page is the one to have for preservation/future classic storing..so rare!

TBH if by this time next year I can bag myself a 93 of any description of that era I'll be all over it.

It's nice but I'd always be thinking I should've held out for the aero it's a shame though because it looks well in black but a 3dr aero in blue would be sweet.

The wheels are later vector wheels I think not aero anyway they were the bladed wheels.

Not great of course but they do have a drop down or up protection bar when it flips.

Only if you want it to break.

Always change the oil.

I don't want to take away from the great cars - My question is if I was to buy one of these which is over 10 years old - how difficult would it be to get insured in a 10 year old car ?

Ring a few companies and find out, all subjective

BonnieSituation

It really all depends on your personal circumstances.

I have a 90 and 97 insured with a yellow company. But another company, French and blue had no issue with the 97. And the Road Safety Authority sounding company and the Germans are in league with them to not bother even quoting me.

The yellow company may insure you on 2 cars on one policy if that's an option for you if you're over 40.

any idea what would they be like for reliability?

Great yoke. 2.0 Turbo, 5 cylinder. Great engine.
Front suspension will more than likely need work. Where the top struts connect - can rattle.
Window regulator, rad replacement due to a hole and wear and tear consumables is all I ever had to do with mine.
Gearbox is a sealed unit, it was fine (for me) and perfect up to 200k km.
There is a transmission flush you can do also -I never bothered. This is often confused with an oil change, by the same people who confuse a gearbox from a 2.4 diesel and a 2.0 petrol.

Well there's 2 yellow companies I guess...

Rare 3dr 93 with a years test, €950

Total future classic. Can't even remember the last time I saw one of these

The name listed in that ad is the same guy that runs a Saab specialist workshop in Wicklow, I think. I would guess it's in good shape and definitely worth a look.

.....as other have said, if only I had a shed.

How about something like this ?
Tax out this month but NCT till 2020. Low enough miles as well.

Seems like great value there, personally I hate those yokes but that's just me.

Two cars on one policy? Really? I tried chasing that elusive option last year. Pm which company?

I never thought I'd see it, but I've been watching E39's over the last while, and it would appear they bottomed out, and that they are possibly starting to climb in price again, but that's a nice one there!

Nice looking 09 C30 diesel. Tested till the end of the year and cheap tax. High enough miles but even still it looks nice enough, very clean
