If the 147 had a 2.0 engine I would be surely tempted... or start dreaming and hope for a GTA 147 to come along

Low miles bangernomics @ 1550 asking
Mazda six underneath according to wiki

Pity about the 2.0 l tax but I suppose you can't have it every way at this level

Now that's value

And it's potentially more. Reliable than this at 3950

Indeed - but such is the power of the Golf name here in dear old Ireland.

Reckon if you put the Golf name on an old Lada Riva - theyd still sell lorry loads of them so the masses could say "I drive a golf

.

5 years ago a bog standard base petrol 10 year old Golf would have sold for €7k no problem

I'll just leave this here, if I had a spare 1950 I'd be all over this

All three are buckets of sh1te tbh and those renaults won't seem like good value if they start giving issues.

What has been seen can not be unseen. What have you done !!!!!

As rare as rocking horse **** over here.

Actually its evev rarer than I thought.

http://www.inside-saab.com/2011/09/15/saab-9-3-viggen-by-the-numbers/

IRELAND

Viggen produced only for MY2000 and only in hardtop form.

Black – 1
Lightning Blue – 4
Silver – 1

One of only 6 to come here and its the only silver one ever.

NobodyImportant · 19-07-2013 02:56PM

DO IT!

Max Power1 · 19-07-2013 02:58PM

question is can it be remapped?

Callled my mechanic yesterday. Told him to get my classic 900 ready so I can drive it again. Otherwise I might have made a different call. Seriously tempted though. The holy grail of modern Saab ownership.

toastedpickles · 19-07-2013 03:20PM

I've been wanting a vector tid 9-3, but this.....this changes everything

I seen one on n11 once it was blue afik definitly got my attention i stalked it for miles:cool:.

Sadly im broke or that would be on my driveway.:o.
I wonder why its been off the road for so long.Looks like an original Irish car from new too

Beautiful cars & probably my favourite engine ever.

no lag, no vibrations, nothing but seamless power in every gear at any speed .

I had it in a previous 9000 where it shone, its just a shame the 93 & NG900 chassis is so lacking any finesse.. even though they uprated the viggen chassis & firewall area a little more than standard 93 aeros afik

its worth more than 1950 in rare parts alone too

I'll keep you posted

E60 2.5l petrol BMW. Nothing wrong with a Saab 9-5 but 2 years without owning a BMW is too long for me

toastedpickles wrote: »

God no, a 2l turbo petrol. Taxed till end September, NCT till end May '14, all 4 brand new tyres a few months ago. Only 78k miles!

Oil + filter changed last week!

Scortho · 20-07-2013 12:40AM

Saab ed, do you know if you can get figures like that for other marques?
Sorry for the ot post.

To make up for it, this has cropped back up with a different seller.

http://cars.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/alfa-156-2-5v6-24-valve-6-speed-manual/5366882

THing is anyone following alfa v6's (theres a few of us) know that this was 850 with a different seller last week.

Hmmm, I may be mad asking this but for someone who's clocked up over 60,000 & counting miles in a year and a half, would you recommend it? Hence the question of fuel type

unkel · 20-07-2013 12:48AM

40k miles per year is a lot! I'm no fan of diesel but if I did mileage like that, I would probably go diesel too. That said, the 9-5 petrol is frugal enough on longer spins. I did nearly 40MPG on a 3 day trip to Wexford recently. You'd only get 25MPG in Dublin traffic though...
