We dad this?


A genuine RS I could understand, but this was build in 2004 from a new shell, with no historic history !!!

So not a Ford Escort at all - but a replica.

Is only one of the rear seats heated? That sort of rarity has to be worth a premium.

I went straight to the price and just assumed it was an M3.

Unbelievable.

DeLoreans - absolutely insane prices being asked for a good looking heap of junk and what's more incredible, people are paying them!

I'm assuming that comes with a free 2017 Porsche thrown in on top of the £600 Nova...

Perhaps a liberal rub of "Amor All" polishes a £5,500 profit, if you've ever driven one, they are such a disappointment, Saab stopped any chassis development in about 1989, they drive like a mid 1980's Vauxhall.

last service

so not serviced for 3 years but forget about that. this is what pisses me off, o.k low mileage but doesn't automatically make it better.

The Aero Hot has very decent body roll control v comfort over bumps. I don't see what it's doing wrong? That's a great combo.

Drive it back to back with a modern 5 Series and it'll feel a 30 year old car, the one thing I notice with all modern Saabs is the poor ride and scuttle shake.
