After asking the RMS massive for opinions on how to spend 5k, In classic fashion, I went and bought something completely different so what I had originally set out for.
A mate of mine is big into his Saabs and constantly pesters me about getting on the bandwagon.
He messaged me last week with one close by me, I went to see it, a deal was done and that was that!
It was the discretion with which this car will operate with which attracted me to it. I also saved over 2k compared with what I was looking to spend so it made good financial sense also... Not often that happens!
Anyway.
On to the car. 2008 Saab 9-5 Hot Aero with Manual gearbox which is rare enough as most seem to be automatic.
260bhp, Fwd and comfy as hell.
87k on the clock and nearly a full years ticket.
Car is in amazing condition and has a full service history and wads of receipts for any work or parts fitted.
Full electric pack including, electric memory seats which are heated and air conditioned ( love this feature )
Xenons
Dual zone climate control
Carbon lip
Carbon Aero badges
Carbon rear spolier
Rear parking sensors
Fully polybushed underneath also
All in all, it is the comedy of 3rd gear and how this thing manages to keep pulling hard all the way to the redline which impresses. 1st/2nd gear are useless in anything other than dry conditions.
It has a almost restrained lunacy about it which I love! Its even managed to return 23mpg with me enjoying a lot of boost over the past few days so really impressed with that too. Already thinking of going straight to stage 3 with it as it is fairly handy done and the torque then would be quite funny.
One tiny dent in the rear arch and one on the door and it'll be sitting near perfect.
All that is left to it is show the pictures, My reg will be going on it as soon as the V5 arrives back in my name. It will tidy it up a little too I think.
