€650 asking price for a petrol Saab 9-5 estate Auto

Needs a replacement window at the back but if you have windshield cover on your insurance you should be able to get this done for free

NCT up in March but seller says barely any miles done since last NCT and was serviced within a few thousand kilometers also

For the money if it's any good at all, it's worth a punt

For these cars, one of the most common big failures is the Direct ignition cartridge so make sure there aren't any warning lights and maybe bring a torx screw kit with you and take it off and inspect it for cracks or damage.

If it is bad, the price of a new OEM one is under 300 and anyone could fit it themselves in 10 minutes

At that price thats well worth a gamble. Handy yoke with loads of space.
Gordon Kellett is a well known independent Saab mechanic (not sure if he's still in business?) my brother used him for years with a Saab he had.
I bought a car of Ray Crofton myself (seems this yoke was last serviced there) and found him great to deal with.
Both good signs I'd say.

Just make sure the window cover does cover all glass and not just the windscreen as some policies cover windscreen only. Could be very wrong but something tells me that window could be saucy enough to replace.
It is fairly light on test with it being out on the 5th of March (date the four month extension runs out).

Thats why it's a bit of a gamble, 2 months NCT isn't much, but given the low miles from the last NCT, that's unlikely to have caused any serious issues other than maybe rust or corrosion which could get worse just sitting in the driveway

I'd definitely be heading to look at it if it was anywhere near my 5km lockdown zone. The usual inspections apply but assuming you have windscreen cover that would cover the replacement back window, this car is about a grand under priced, which goes a long way to pay for minor work to get the NCT or replace the scratched bumper if you're worried about that

It's so hard to get a decent petrol Saab these days, I think they'll keep their value as long they're in roadworthy condition and the bodywork is good.

Polo Dune is gone, I'm a bit gutted, it was just too far to go for a car considering all the restrictions on travel.

No, certain policies cover windscreen only and not any of the other glass in the car and that's for certain. I know that from getting umpteen quotes year in year out. That is likely the exception to the rule though and most will cover all glass. All I'm saying is you would want to double check beforehand if your buying it on that basis.

As you mention though a good once over before buying would be a must, as with any used car, just to make sure it is only minor work to get the NCT.

Well spotted, I'd presume picture 7 is shown by genuine mistake.

Unusual colour for one of them. Would they be getting that kind of money? Work colleague, well ex work colleague at this stage bought an 11 one for 900 euro last year, he loves it.

The cheapest 11 on Donedeal is €3k, fair to say he got quite a deal.

Seems way too cheap but if valid then fair play.

He was stuck for a car at the time his own car had been hauled off to the scrapman terminal engine failure. The boss had the Kia he was going to put it up on DD it had massive mileage almost 300,000 miles and about 3 weeks test. He had to spend about another 500 to get it through the test. I met him in Aldi and it's flying it still. They're a nice aul yoke to drive, good enough on diesel.

Having had a DL reg car a few years back, I'd advise check for rust underneath, in case it lived close to the sea.

True true. More of a UK lineage than the Atlantic but you're spot on.

There awful looking yokes, if a bit quirky.

At that price though it would get you out if a hole.

bazz26 · 28-01-2021 10:49AM

The electric sliding doors on those gave terrible trouble and crazy expensive to repair. That one seems a bit cheap imo so I'd pay especial attention to the doors.

Neighbour had one - he had limited mobility. I would think that is the market.

I worked in Peugeot when these were new. Them doors were very handy when you needed to get into a car when on a 2 post lift (not advisable)
