Cheers for the reply would love to get a 9-3 180 only problem i see is the ones that appear do have high mileage upwards of 180k miles.

I'd love to take a gamble regardless though as I never considered them an option.

If it’s as clean as described you would be a happy camper.

I was tempted myself to go for it, but I back out as I really don’t need another Saab anymore!

Not bangeromics but for that price it about right if clean - and boy does it look clean €200 road tax is mental considering the power and the kit you get

Diesel A6 saloon, test til February 2021, bit of tax, same owner for the last 14 years, €600

Seems very genuine, must surely be worth that money or thereabouts. Looks like its replacement has already been bought, new A4 just out of frame

How do you even manage that. That's about 200km a day for 15 years. Only thing I can come up with is that he has taken the car abroad and driven all over Europe in it. Surely next to impossible to put that mileage up travelling in Ireland. Or else he got one sh!tty commute :eek:

Its a bit off 200km per day assuming you are including weekends but granted not dramatically off and serious travelling whatever way you look at it. Most likely a taxi in a former life but you would be surprised too. In the year to date before lockdown i would almost have being hitting that kind of annual mileage between my commute to the office and out on the road to meet Clients. That was in my own car that I was paid travelling expenses for.

Ha and others will tell you that a car is only fit for making bean cans in China after 100k km.

Oh man weapons. Ultimate Diesel sleeper.

So long as the turbos are in good order - for €150 an ECU remap will take it to 240hp.

My buddy has one and it will give the aero 2.3 petrol a run for the money. His is mapped a few years and runs sweet. Usual Dpf crap but as is with all diesel from that era.

There was a lovely example a few pages back, looked lovely.

Once you find a local Saab specialist you are sorted.

Owning a Saab isn’t expensive, and not hard to find parts. It’s a massive club to be part of and nice mature one at that.

Do you mind if i send you a pm regarding a few Saab's questions in general?

Very very tempting.

My A6 ran out of NCT in April and tax the end of may.
It needs a rear indicator unit (I reversed into a wall)
Front bushings
Two rear tyres
A service and I need a tow bar, this yoke has a tow bar!
The spin from Mayo to Cork is my problem, it it was closer I'd buy it today.

Hah, if I remember correctly you bought your current one in Cork didn’t you?

9-3 turbo estate, test til February 2021, €850

No way of telling what engine output it is, seems cheap regardless.

A4 TDI estate, test til May 2021, €500

Now this is a proper bangernomics car. Indestructible. I'd love this!

Not saying it'll be the case on that A4, with its 7 owners, but from experience I've found terrible ads like that to always yield gems.
