R500 CYA Posted October 8, 2002 Share Posted October 8, 2002 I never intended selling this car, it's just too damned nice to sell it for what it's worth, but I've just inherited another car, so after five years of ownership I'm flogging it to pay for a reskin on my SLR and an OTT paint job of some description. 1995 900 Coupe turbo S (3 door) 190 bhp Black with tan cloth interior 16" BBS Talladega alloys with new Michelin Primacys also 15" BBS alloys with P6000's All usual refinements incl. sunroof and 6 stack CD player (full Saab audio) full history (I've owned it last five years) new MoT and taxed til Feb 105k Towbar (used five times to move the 7) Blatchat sticker Pictures available £3300 This is the model limited to 145 mph (although I've never checked that's the case M'lud) It's a fab Q car, has a huge boot, has taken me from Toulouse to Calais in 7 hours in true comfort and best of all it's not a BMW, but it is built like one.

greg Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Hum... Pinky, Does what lecy toys does it have? Any Abbot bits in it? Dare I say it MPG? Greg, Q 86 NTM (Green 185BHP XF) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Greg, I can testify to this being a great car. It is the reason I brought mine. Car is a fantastic Q car. V.quick and v. comfortable. Do not mention MPG - when I am behaving it is regularly 33 ( town and motorway ) and when not c.28-29 ie 100 down the m-way mile on mile These cars are very strong. Mine has done 40+ K in the last year with just oil changes and Abbotts upgrades... It is a bit of a bargain. Insurance is not bad either.

R500 CYA Posted October 9, 2002 Author Share Posted October 9, 2002 Thanks Anthony, Greg, my journey to work is a 25 mile endurance up the A24, which as I'm sure you know consists of numerous roundabouts (13 actually) interspaced with short bits of dual carriageway, not ideal mpg territory, but it still does 30 mpg despite me not hanging around (not thrashed, but I like to maintain a reasonable pace!) As for leccy bits, it's got windows, sunroof, mirrors (and heated), aerial, boot release, computer, central locking, and CD stacker. You can retro fit cruise control for £150, but I never got round to it although I kept saying I would. Basically everything you'd expect from a 7 year old luxury car. Sadly no Abbott parts, it's all standard. Anthony has all the flash bits and his car looks the doggies now, but I'd rather spend my cash on the 7 than my everyday car which spends most of it's life in staff parking at Gatwick! Just for the record, this sensible tin top does 0-60 in 6.9 secs, 145 mph and carries 4 people and all their luggage as well as pulling a 7. Probably not all at the same time though. Oh and the good old in gear times 50-70 mph in 4th are faster than a 355, but I've never really checked, I just like to mention to people like Mark.

R500 CYA Posted October 9, 2002 Author Share Posted October 9, 2002 Forgot to mention, it has also recently had new pads and discs all round, and green stuff pads added (huge improvement on original fit). Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 humm... Tempted. I thought anothony might pipe up with a sales pitch. Next question - if this car is so good, why not get rid of the other one? Also I would need to work out how to raise the funds, as I am presently doing up a house that is sucking me dry .... Oh, does it have aircon? Greg, Q 86 NTM (Green 185BHP XF) Edited by - greg on 9 Oct 2002 21:45:15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarek Posted October 10, 2002 Share Posted October 10, 2002 I can vouch for these as well, I had a 900 (V6) which was built like a lump of granite and never let me down in the 45000 miles I did in it in 2 and a bit years (sold it for a 9-5 Aero estate). Bloody good cars. It's getting a bit old now though.........probably only got a few more hundred thousand miles left in it !! Tarek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R500 CYA Posted October 13, 2002 Author Share Posted October 13, 2002 Greg, Just back from picking the other car up, and to be honest I wonder why sell my Saab. I did 1300 miles in the new car in 18 hours non stop driving, picking it up from my Olds in Spain. It's not a patch on the Saab for gobbling up the miles, and my sexuality has been questioned greatly since people have seen me in it! (Never had that in the Saab!) But it has 90,000 less miles, is one year old, and I can use it on track days when the SLR is not working! So I'm selling because Arch wants my money! And no, no aircon, it's a £1200 add on. No ta! The sun only shines two months a year and then I drive my 7! Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTiptree Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Just a thought, if you were to sell the 15 bbs alloys, what do they look like and what would you be thinking of in terms of price? James. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTiptree Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 (ponders) If only this had been for sale before I got my 2.0i s900... perhaps insurance may play a part for a 19 year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted October 21, 2002 Share Posted October 21, 2002 Not completely sure about the new one on the track until you change the tyres ! A Anthony X-Flow-power; the real way forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R500 CYA Posted October 21, 2002 Author Share Posted October 21, 2002 Hi, Yes I'll sell the alloys seperately, I'll see if I have a picture of them. They are the multi spoke alloys (similar to Golf GTi's and the Hockenheim wheel but without the centre cap) They have two very new P6000's and two which are legal but only by a couple of mm. Make me an offer. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
