Looks pretty tidy for a £3k Evo.

the wear on those seats look like more than the mileage suggests! :O

For the last few MOT's it's only done around 3K (and it's in kms not miles) each year. Not impossible but would force me to make extra checks, in fairness one of the MOT's did say tyres perished rather than worn so it could just be a weekend toy.

The cover on the positive battery terminal is half off and the first thing out of the paperwork is the alarm manual. Intermittent electrical fault leading to frequently drained battery and no start?

Or am I too cynical...

Yep something odd about the mot history
3rd march pass with no advisorys.
16 march fail with all this....STUFF

Would a number plate change cause such an anomaly?

It makes me think some dodgy place MOTD it, overlooked the faults they found, so it could be offered with 12 months MOT. Then someone bought it, noticed all was not well, a dispute arose and they took it to have it MOT'd to provide evidence car was not as described.
Could be something completely different though

Epic turbo bumperage, but surely nobody thinks they deserve this much sumptuous velour?
You wouldnt sleep from the guilt - a double whammy due to the severe pain after splitting a disc leaning over the 25cm rear bumpers to fastiduously check the spare was at correct pressure.

For a second I read that as "Epic turbo bumrage...". Not sure what that is, but I've a feeling a vindaloo and 6 pints of strong lager are involved

The Saab is lovely.

I do like a nice Saab and that is a nice one.

MOT history looks fine to me
16 June (not March) failed with all that stuff
23 June passed with 3 advisories

offside rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1.E.1)
Battery loose
Crack in o/s windscreen

Sold for £1,210. If there's nothing else wrong with it someone's got a decent price there.

No MOT since 2012. However it's being advertised with a Northern Irish address. I presume the NI version of the MOT doesn't show up on the database? Nice car but I'd need a better advert than that to shell out three and a half K.

No idea why I like that so much, I'm not even Asian.

This doesn't look bad in the photos for 5k, might be a different story when you stood in front of it!

Can people please stop posting these things, along with the Bentley cousin, because I am just 1 drunken moment of madness away from buying one. This will result in a big fight with my bank account and having to live in the damn thing!

I like the way the wipers are half way up suggesting the current owner just ran out of money or will power and coasted to a halt when the petrol tank ran out!

You've got me imagining the tiny, but exquisitely engineered, individual petrol engines powering each Rolls-Royce rain butler.

Looks great. In keeping with the thread and within budget, I bought this a few weeks ago for £2500. I absolutely love it. Although it has done 235k!

[k-ink]

I love the SAAB 900s! Are the seats as comfortable as they look? Does it feel FWD, or does it get the power down ok?
