Model: Saab 9000 Griffin 2.3 full pressure turbo Year: 1994 Mileage: 143000 Tax: April 2010 MOT: April 2010 Location: Nottingham SSTC - Thanks.200 BHP 2.3 full pressure turbo, 4 speed auto, leather/suede, walnut, AC, cruise, heated electric seats/mirrors/memory, sunroof, alloys, rear blind, radio cassette and CD, Loads of tuning potential in these engines. Google tells me 0-60 7.1 sec, 145 MPH. 143K - meticulously maintained by Plastic Orange off here who owned it the last 4 years. Oil in the box and the motor both clean on the dipstick, not often you see that at this miles or half this! 4 good Good Year Eagle NCT2 tyres, recent discs and pads, less recent all new springs, had the autobox refreshed at 120K. Mechanically A1. Body is real nice, only a couple of blisters on the rear arches and the bottom of the boot lid. You don't notice these really. Paint is extra nice for age. Interior is clean as you like. Sadly I find myself allergic to FWD and turbos for that matter are strictly a "novelty" item for me so its here, just before Xmas the worst time of year to try sell a car LOL. This is an ace winter car so I'm not that fussed if it doesn't sell. AC may need a regas, difficult to tell in this weather, the ABS light comes on occasionally (believed to be an iffy sensor), I think thats it really. £695 takes it. RWD P/Ex or swap considered, try me, older the better. But I have a real jones to get back in a Lexus...Any trial, this thing is spot on. Will add more pics later.   |

blimey, on here how long and nobody even telling me they'd have it if I lived closer to Staines, hadn't just bought a Reliant Robin or their budgie had died? It's a shame I don't want that. Or I'd buy it! ;D |

Not an 875? A mate of mine was into them. BIG time
EDIT: just saw your sig and the for sale thread. Doesn't look "daily driver" material to me sadly. Or I'd be way tempted. I need something I can use as a daily and put a child seat in.

I've never owned a BMW of any sort and the e28 is one of the nicer looking ones IMO so thats a trade with potential. What is the story with the Bee-em? Maybe its too early in the AM for me but "insurance payout"? eh? My price is very much "o.n.o."

sounds interesting. How many beer tokens were you thinking of and when do you anticipate getting the doors? Or you can make me a cash offer if you have "profit" from the insurance burning a hole in your pocket....  |

I'm surprised no one has snapped this up yet Alistair. As he said, I owned it for nearly 5 years and it has been super reliable. The mid range urge as the turbo boosts is pretty addictive, it has the biggest boot of any car you'll find (miss this), plus it does 32mpg on a run. It doesn't use oil, and runs straight and smooth. It is the best model in the 9000 range, and is relatively rare.
It also has possibly the best heater you will find (useful in our winter).
Feel free to pm me if Alistair can't answer any queries - I gave him a full list of all my maintenance.
Pete

Insane motor for the money! I'd love it but I'm already Saab'd up (albeit in a much slower one!)
