The Appeal

The automotive landscape has never been quite the same since Saab went. Quirky, safe and often surprisingly quick, these Swedish marvels are sorely missed. It's great to find a well-kept car from Saab's back catalogue though, and that's exactly what we have here in this smart 9-3 2.0 Turbo Cabriolet.

These are handsome cars aren't they. And this one looks great in this understated grey. The Saab looks to be in very good condition for its age, and the vendor informs us it's been freshly serviced, ready to meet its new owner.
