Morning,

I had a shunt yesterday so looks like my 2010 Saab 93 ttid is going to be written off as it was rear ended at approx 50 mph, which I am gutted about. Thankfully nobody was seriously hurt. But now with my car head on!

Now, I don't know what to replace it with. Either a 3-4k barge like a e38 7 series, Jag xj or Lexus gs etc or buy a newer smaller engined hatch?

I do about 12k year, use car for site visits so has to be reliable. But the idea of a old 7 series really appeals as cash saved buying will go towards running it before diesels take over!

Why not more of the same?

(If not necessarily a SAAB, some kind of middle ground option).

Firstly, sorry to hear about the accident and hope you're OK...I like that you seem keen to turn this around and make something positive come of it (the opportunity to enjoy a luxury barge).

Speaking of which...

You could go with a GS but what about it's big brother? £3k, under 100k miles and legendary reliability. thumbup
