Got my new wheels today.

[hueandcry71]

First impreesions are very good. Smooth, comfortable,quick enough, can hear the stereo,warm arse, can hear people on the phone kit and they can hear me,fits in the garage, can get in and out gracefully, can park it without fear of kids videoing their mates jumping it etc etc etc.

Will miss all that when i get my SC probably within 3 months

PS
When i picked it up the dealer said that the most he can for get my 111R is £21k after giving me £26k. I have told him i will have it back for that if he cant get more. Sranger things have happened........

5K loading on the Saab price then.

Your 111R was only a few months old wasn't it? Show me where I can find a 6 month old example in a showroom for £21K, I'd be tempted to buy it!

It was registered at the end of October and had 1000 miles on it. The salesman was gutted. Even the Parkers guide had it around £23.5k. Ive told him to sell it on here but they are the "experts".

Why was he gutted ? He just got a near new car traded in which he will be able to sell on for probably 3-4k what he paid you for it

Thats the point, he cant at the moment because no-one is wiling to pay that much for it.

Sorry old chap but he's having you on - even the 06 cars here go for £25K:

He's pissing himself because he knows he's going to get a 3-month old Saab back through the door shortly, that'll have lost 10 grand of it's trade-in value, and that he'll be able to make a few more quid out of when it's back on the forecourt.

On the down side though, it may have a flat battery... Or maybe the air freshener will be almost finished

Almost took it back when i realised i had to adjust the steering wheel myself. Whats that all about??

Your R is worth around 25 - 26.5k at a dealer's and around 24.5 - 25.5 private, it's still got its warranty one of the best colour's to sell and all the extra's anyone would want

Why O Why did you sell

Really you should have driven your R on some A road's, got some instruction for a day or even took it to a track and you would then understand what a fantastic car it is.

What i don't get is , if somebody wanted a covertable rep car (nothing wrong with that) why would would you chose a Saab over the beautiful Audi A4 cab ???? Even the vectra is better looking than the Saab .

Yeah but c'mon, there are other cars out there that have far more reliable batteries

I'd pop along to Specsavers if I were you, unless you feel cars should have goatees too

OK point taken. Maybe this is a bit more stimulating?
