Viewing advice on a 9-3 please

[Nicol@]

The o/h and I are going to take a look and test drive tonight in a 55 plate 9-3 1.9 TiD sportwagon Vector sport.


Aside from the norm, are there any particular things to check?

TIA

The various threads might give you some help

Thanks,

It is an American site (they don't have a diesel car).

Do you know which UK Saab site will be of most use (I noticed Google lists a few sites)?

On such a new car, not a lot, other full dealer stamps in the service book.

There's plenty of these about in various specs, so don't be afraid to walk away.

Only thing I would say, is if it's not got one of the optional upgrade audio systems, and just the base one, definately walk away and find one that has, as the base audio in a 9-3 is absolute pants......

UK biased Saab forums are...

Can you buy headlight protectors for Saabs, I've got a set on my older 9-3 and I reckon it's saved me a fortune in new lights. I even managed to damage at headlight protector and had to replace it so if you can get them they are well worth having.

Thank you Tonker, that is what I was looking for (we walked away from the one viewed on Monday, noticed a badly resprayed door).

What is this cup holder thingy?

I played with my cupholder twice on the way to work this morning, even though I've done it a thousand times, I just can't help it

[Nicol@]

Thanks for the info.

The o/h bought one on Friday (The car, not the cupholder).

I haven't seen it yet as I not home at the moment.
