Long Overdue pictures and info on my new barge!!

[jakesands]

Hi all, had another post on here showing all my previous motoring delights and well it's time to show the latest addition to the community. Picked this up about a month back off my old man for a very reasonible price of £500 and a quick service on my sisters clio. Its a 2002 Saab 9-3 2.2 Tid SE. It has full saab history with no expense spaired in its maintenance. Currently sat at 157,000 but never misses a beat, thank the motoring gods the computer is trouble free on it and the only part I've had to replace was the handbreak cable. At 19 I can't complain, I thought I'd get a lot of stick off of people for buying an 'Old Mans' car but everyone who gets in it compliments how comfy it is and how different it is for a teenager.




Haven't really got any major plans for it apart from having the wheels refurbed to a grey colour. Also considering a cheeky remap see if we can make it a bit more powerful.

Thanks for looking Jake

Dude, if you think that's an old mans car, take a look at mine! Haha.
I was going to buy a barge and did look into thingls like this. At £500, it's an absolute steal!

^ Old man's car? That's an old woman's car!

The Saab looks like a good buy.

I bought a Volvo S40 about 3 weeks ago and received the same. Guess you don't get many 20 year old male drivers..!

Bargain at that price!!!

Saab seats are some of the best around. I have just bought a 2005 9-3 Vector Sport with a leggy 122k on the clock and its very comfy.

The 2.2TID engine kicks out 115bhp as standard. The later version kicked out 125bhp, so I would have thought that 150bhp would be achievable via a remap or a tuning box

Enjoy.

Thats pretty cool for £500 at 19!

Get a decent panel filter in the airbox and a remap!

Sexy bit of kit mr sands

Looks nice, I had a Black 9-3 Coupe (albeit an Aero) with the same wheels at about 21 and I liked it.

Only colour that looks any good without the aero kit really.
