I'd hit him at £8,700 with a view to paying £8,900.


Depends as you have seen it, driven it etc... What do you think it is worth?

That's a nice set of alloys on it; quite a rare design (and much better than the 3-thick/3-thin spokers that come on most diesel Vector Sports). ERG valve and front springs snapping are the main things to look out for on the diesel 9-3s, but fingers crossed you've got yourself a decent example and you won't have any issues with it. Check out some of the saab-specific forums (Saabscene, Saabscentral, UKSaabs etc) for help and advice.

Getting on well with car drives well i find the brakes a bit soft rather spongey but that really is all i can fault.
Sat nav works ok but no post code like the audi i had i can't get the voice reconigtion to work with the phone any help on this?
That said great value for what i paid just have to wait and see what mpg she returns should be better than my audi eek
