Dark grey velour interior, in very good condition
Heated drivers seat - fully functioning, automatically switches on when the temperature drops (not sure what temperature that is!) and switches off automatically.
Grey carpets in good condition
Headlining not in good condition (amateur replacement by the third owner) - predictably for a Saab of this era.
Owned since August 2021.
Engine runs well and stays cool
New radiator and thermo switch, water pump, whole exhaust from manifold back and new front shock absorbers in my ownership.
The usual rust issues are present, but they are not serious. Small hole at bottom of both front doors, light surface rust on two of the wheel arches, which have been treated with rust killer, primed and touched up, and the arch trims replaced - the trims have been packed with grease for the winter, so they might look a bit crap in the pictures! The odd rust scab here and there, but not serious. The only bit of corrosion that I can see that looks like it should be dealt with soon is rust on nearside, bottom rear arch, where it meets the sill, but I am told (at the last MOT) that this is not an issue. But I would attend to it soon, if I was keeping it, just in case.
Last MOT advised on two front tyres, minor exhaust leak and rear brake pads showing signs of wear.
Two new front tyres have been fitted, oil changed, and fuel and oil filter changed at the beginning of August.
It failed on a steering rack gaiter, which was replaced, after which it passed.
The petrol warning light stays on all of the time (always has) but the fuel gauge is accurate. I assume the fuel sender is stuck.
This is a daily driver, so the mileage will increase while the advert is up, and it is also being advertised elsewhere. Comes with the original blue Saab wallet, all brochures and manuals, original delivery sheet for first owner, City Saab, all MOTS and some garage invoices. This is our 5th Saab (and probably our last) and we will be very sad to see it go. We've been to the French Alps, the South of France, Italy and Morocco in it on family holidays and it's been a pleasure, and gets admiring looks wherever we go. It is not a pristine car, it's not a pampered classic either and we use it every day. It could be "restored" to original condition with not much effort if that's what you're into, but we used it for what it is - a strong, comfortable car with loads of understated style and an absolutely massive boot.
I also have some parts which can be bought by separate negotiation - Saab whip aerial, rubber rear spoiler, metal mesh dog/ luggage guard.
Thank you for looking.
