The Appeal
Saab always did things a little differently to other manufacturers, and even in the latter days of the company, they were producing interesting and well finished cars with some great features.
This 9-3 Vector is a perfect case in point. FInished in lovely Ice Blue paintwork, with a comprehensive service history, long MOT and genuinely low mileage, it makes for a great daily driver that’s just a bit different from the norm.

- Last service July 2021 @ 35,351 miles

The Interior
- Cream leather upholstery

As with all ‘Vector’ models, this car benefits from a high factory specification, making it a very comfortable place to spend time.
The cream leather upholstery is inset with contrasting black panels, which makes for a little more style. All of the leather presents well, with some light evidence of wear, but no signs of tearing or significant wear that we could see. The rear bench looks to be a little water-marked. But a good leather clean may address this issue.
Black carpets and over-mats run through the cabin and provide a nice contrast to the light upholstery and paintwork. They appear to be in good condition, with wear commensurate with the vehicle’s low mileage. Similarly, the owner assures us that the headlining is secure and undamaged.
The driving controls and internal trim look to be in good condition, with no notable damage. The smart looking black and silver dash looks modern and clean in its design, and all of the switchgear is complete and we’re told by the vendor that everything works as it should. The only issue we noted was that the adjustment lever on the passenger side air vent appears to require reattaching.
At the rear the boot area is nice and big, trimmed with dark grey carpet, and presents in very nice condition with no damage or staining.
The Exterior
- Metallic Ice Blue (304) paintwork
- Original 17” 10-spoke alloy wheels
- Integrated front fog lights
With its smart Metallic Ice Blue finish, the 9-3 is a handsome and well proportioned saloon. The paint looks to be in fine original condition, with a few minor scratches, stone chips and lights blemishes, as you’d expect. We couldn’t see any evidence of corrosion or damage though, and all of the panels look nice and straight, with factory gaps.
Complementing the smart bodywork are an original set of 17” 10-spoke Saab alloys. They present fairly well, with a few blemishes and some lacquer peel, but overall are perfectly serviceable. They are shod in Continental tyres that look to have a good level of tread remaining.
Any new owner may wish to replace the ‘shark fin’ aerial, which is made of rubber and has begun to perish. But otherwise the exterior of the car is in very fine fettle, with all of the trim, glass and light lenses being complete and undamaged.
Underneath, the vehicle presents similarly well, looking to be clean, straight and undamaged. Clearly, it’s seen little use over its lifetime. There is the usual light surface corrosion in a couple of places, but nothing that would concern us.
The Mechanics
- 1,910cc 4-cylinder turbo diesel
- 5-speed automatic transmission
- Full independent service history
- MOT to July 2023
With a reliable and frugal 1.9-litre TiD powerplant and relaxing automatic transmission, this 9-3 would make a great daily driver, especially for anyone that covers significant motorway miles. With 150bhp and 320Nm on tap, there’s plenty of power in reserve whether you;re cruising or tackling your favourite B-road.
The exhaust appears to be wearing some fairly significant surface corrosion, but otherwise the owner tells us that the car drives very well. They report that there are no leaks, smoke, unexpected noises or vibrations.
We noted that there are no warning lights present on the dash, and with a long MOT, low mileage and comprehensive history, this Saab should provide many more years of faithful service.
Summary
For anyone seeking a comfortable, highly specified and smartly styled daily driver, we think this low mileage 9-3 could be a great solution. It’s clearly been kept very well and has been well maintained, and should provide its new owner with relaxing and capable transport for many years to come.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
