I'm hoping to come up mate but to spectate.

I'm really bored with the whole car thing and Catherine's car crash just highlighted how much trouble I have with hers & Zoes cars to look after

I'm just going to stick with the company car for a bit & save money.

To hell with that, getting married means you get some of her earnings as well, so you have more to spend surely???

Good luck with the sale mate, she looks a good un

Saab 9000 Turbo, new turbo about 5000 miles ago, new exhaust about 3 months ago(300 fecking quid), new wheel bearing just before Xmas, service at same time. No rust whatsoever, engine is sweet, done 130'000 miles(bearly run in ). I think but not sure that it has FSH up to the point that I bought it about 9 months ago. It has full leather, cd player, it smells a bit inside but that may be me

Its dark navy, oh it does have a wheel trim missing.

Top car, its just too much with having a scooby as well(although a carlton gsi may be just as bad).

I think the Saabs are around 190bhp and they certainly impress for such a large car(crap handling though, like a boat).

Hi Izzy

The car came with no history to me at all. The only niggling fault is the window and because it's a rear one it doesn't really bother me but that could be fixed if need be.

Paul

Hi James

Yes I've decided it's time to grow up

The car is 100% fixed that's why it's for sale. It needed a new boot seal which has been fitted and I still have the old one.

Can i just add..

we reluctantly sold it for 300 because the MOT and TAX were out of date... and i didn't need the hassle of getting it MOT'd or the risk that there MAY have been something else for it to fail on apart from the windscreen.. (although i was pretty sure it would be ok.. and was proven right..).

I think the asking price is fair considering the work that has now been done + MOT, etc..
