Drove a fair way yesterday to pick up a Saab 93 tid Vector Sport saloon.
Was a bit of a bargain although it does have a short MOT and a slight rattle from the DMF.
It's not always there and it's not that loud so not fussed about it yet and it won't do mega miles anyway as it is my Mrs daily.
So, pics.
And the price? £350.

Ive just taken mine to Italy via
Nurbergring
Austria including a few jaunts in to the Alps
Then in to Italy via the brenner pass
Back via the gotthard pass , Switzerland and France
Covered 2600 miles and averaged 63mpg
Not bad considering some was at autobahn speeds and others on the twisty passes of the Alps
Car was four up and included luggage for two weeks

Yup. Sorely tempted by one of these.
I'd argue there is nothing better on the market for the kind if money you can pick these up for

Haha no it isn't broken, I was just relaxing with the cruise control on the way back.
Yeah just shy of 190k sa a fair few. It did most of those miles in its early years and I have the service record for it and a folder of receipts and stuff.
It is really clean though, inside and out and drives nice and tight.
Really pleased with it, goes like hell compared to my transit or the 309.

Looks good.
I was assuming it was going to be an old Saab, not a modern one.

When I buy cheap cars and they break, I don't moan about it, they are always cheap for a reason.
I'm aware of that.

So, the rattle got progressively worse.
It was really, really loud and turned out it wasn't coming from where we first thought.
Flywheel is fine, exhaust heatshield was slowly falling off and rattling like mad in the tunnel.
Super pleased about that.

May well be for sale shortly. Has gained an MOT.
And a dent in the front wing, which is also the reason for sale. My lovely Mrs doesn't like driving it and says it's too big.
So she wants my Pajero instead. Obviously.

I had this issue too. The metal is thin and the nut had pulled through the shield right?

Funny thing is everyone slates the Vectra, which is the same car underneath!
I really enjoyed my old Z19DTH Vectra.

Now for sale. Can it be moved to the right section please. Love you long time.
Has had:_
2 new rear upper control arms.
2 new rear callipers and pads.
2 new Dunlop sport front tyres.
Long MOT.
I am asking for £850. It is no coincidence there is another car for sale on here for the same price.
