Desperate looking admittedly.

This seams to be a decent punt, at 85000 miles it's barely run in and I love the look of them

It's the exterior styling that i really like. It was conservative at the time but has matured really well IMO.

Bought This Saab Aero tonight.

It has parking sensors, heated electric seats, self dimming mirror, xenons, electric folding mirrors, cream leather, etc.
Got it for 1100€.
Followed my heart and ignored all of the alarm bells.
Could be in market for a new engine as half way down from wexford the oil light started to flicker now and then and there is knocking noise from the engine. I think that the knocking is coming from top but maybe I'm just trying to calm my self down by saying that.
Will listen again tomorrow. I will drop the sump next week to inspect for oil sludge.
Also seems that there is a lot of oil on the back of the engine.
Oil level is ok.
Cant afford major repairs at the moment as will need money for college next month.
I hope it is only a blocked oil screen and no damage to engine is done.
Fecking eejit as you Irish might say.

Not entirely sure but I'm pretty confidant that someone on here a few months/weeks ago looked at that and walked away because of foreseeable major issues.
Start scrolling back a few posts...

... best of luck, sounds like it's w@nked though. If you're hope is correct about the oil screen it's defo w@nked.

I had a look at this one

Will need new SID, new battery, new DI Cassette, couple of new tyres, little repair to front bumper and aircon doesn't work. I would have taken it for 1500€ but she didn't want to drop that low. Strange that there are only couple things there to tell that the car is Aero.

And just after having a look at this.

He would have taken 850€ but there few things that were really worrying - exhaust manifold had a blow, oil leak from head gasket (not rocket cover), Gearbox dipstick dry and really black. He said he noticed white smoke when driving.Also will need 4 tyres. So I walked away.

Continuing to search.

Sorry confuddled myself....

That guy was me. I walked away as she wanted 1750 for it. Now I couldn't resist the 1100€ price.
If it's w@nked as you say I will do it as a little project during winter.
Don't know why I still don't regret buying it. Wanted 9-5 Aero for a long time but couldn't really afford a decent one. So I bought best equipped piece of scrap.
The challenge now is to bring it back to good health.
Feel a bit nervous though about total cost of the car by the time it's fully repaired.

Ok. I do regret buying it. Just don't want to admit it.

From 1989 to 95 it was 24V engine, 150hp. Decent car, looks great in the pictures.
I am more than sure someone will go to see it very soon, and - if it is genuine mileage and condition - will buy it.

What is wrong with the glovebox btw?

heathersonline · 26-08-2012 12:06PM

Surely there's 0% chance that's genuine?!!

Looks a bit gapped alright.

I reckon they're really old photos and the car won't sell, or, it'll be gone by this evening.

From 91 to 95 bmw E34 5 series got the UPDATED Engine 6 Cylinder 24 valve from the 88 to 91 model which was 6 cylinder 12 valve. It looks a bit too good to be true someone was playing with the mileage of it.

L-M · 26-08-2012 12:29PM

I'd also imagined it spent some of it's life in the UK due to the colour/auto/reg.

No, it isn't missing a digit. What digit is missing there?

homingbird · 26-08-2012 12:44PM

Anyone know this car it looks clean . The only worry i would have is had it a hard life on a drift track . I would like to know is the diff banging for the want of a change.

andyseadog · 27-08-2012 12:39AM

where the feck is dgt?

its got the sporting kit
its got a towbar
its a van
its a fiat
and best of all, its broken

i reckon 100 quid would take that car home if your a sweet talker!

colm_mcm · 27-08-2012 09:47AM

It's the abarth kit, which you had to pay extra for even on a sporting. Alloys are off an elegance model I think.

I could've sworn I saw that van abandoned in a housing estate in gort last year

ongarite · 27-08-2012 10:04AM

Well spec'd E39 523 for €900:

No mention of NCT, worth a ring if you were interested.

Pug 106 GTI for €1500:

Sweet find Andy

The kit is worth that alone if its in good nick, has the sideskirts too...

That has me thinking.....

vectra · 27-08-2012 10:44AM

Local car.
Know the two owners.
Would say it was well minded.
NCT to March 2013

Low mileage, they have aged well! €750

blastman · 27-08-2012 04:01PM

^^^^^^^^
Poverty-spec seats, though, and won't have all the toys (cruise control, heated seats). Think I'd rather spend a couple of hundred more and get the more loaded version. They're a nice bus, though, no question.
