Not bad cars but inside just looks from a really old Saab out dated look

One of the lads at work had a 54 plate 2.3t hot aero. Super quick lots of kit.
His was manual but he had no problems with his.

It's based on a Vectra-B chassis (before anyone states that it's based on the Vec-C )

I had the 9-5 Aero, the car can be chip tuned to 225Hp in a blink, it will need, depending on mileage the sump dropped and cleaned of sludge as the semi synthetic oil mainly used in these engines sludges up very badly, also the breather kit need replacing with a new kit from Saab at around £70 all in as the rubber degrades with the mineral oil and disintegrates and end sup,,,, yip! in the sump.

These ares are true sleepers they can fly, have the best seats in any car ever! handle far better than the vec-B they are based on and are a bargain.

Right up to the point you realise that there are very few parts around now and none in general production and release (as reported from a good friend in the trade who owns three Saab's!!!

I thought it looked rather modern, far better set out than any siggy or vec. Everything looked quite plush and well built. and the seats Whooooaaaa yeah. half leather and extreamly comfy with the biggest bolsters I have ever seen.

I ain't gone for the aero I still might though depending on the test drive.

Vec B platform on a 2007 car. Hmmm I'll see how it handles tomorrow.

This would be changed as a matter of course IF and I mean IF I go for it.

the parts shortage might put me off though!

Trust me the handling if a bit crashy is as good as anything out there really, the parts shortage upsets me as I have a big soft spot for Saabs still, however neo brothers would be able to get pattern parts and broken car parts for any saab still running so it isn't really such a major worry

Nice one, that's good to know. so parts should not really be an issue.
