For financial and logistical reasons I am selling my Saab.
Year: 1997
Model: 9000 2.3 Anniversary
Transmission: Automatic
Colour: Silver
Mileage: 148K
MOT: November 6th 2013
Tax: End June 2013
Good Points:
2.3 turbo lump which pulls well through the gears
Smooth auto box
Apart from OSF wing, the bodywork is rust free
Beautiful interior
Genuine Saab 15" Anniversary alloys in good condition
Good tyres all round
Blaupunkt DAB head unit
Tons of history and service receipts, including every MOT since 2004
Original leather wallet from dealer, with manual and service book, stamped at main dealers up to 90K
Tow bar c/w full electrics (I've stuck this in good points although that is a matter of opinion!)
Bad points:
OSF wing is rusted (see pics) and could do with changing. Spare wing included in the sale (Scarab Green).
A few age related scuffs/scrapes, although none are glaringly obvious or detract from the look of the car (see pics).
ABS light on intermittently (usually in wet weather), sensor may just need cleaning.
Front passenger seat has one of the internal wires protruding through leather (see pics). Could do with removing as it has a slightly sharp end which could catch your better halfs favourite new blouse. And you don't want that! Really. You don't!
Finally, one of the single din sections (the cd holder) has become detached and slipped forward a bit. I purchased a coin tray/cup holder to replace this, which although not yet fitted will go with the car.
This is my first Saab, and I've thoroughly enjoyed owning it. Starts first time, every time, and has never failed to put a smile on my face. Anyone who has owned a 9000 knows what a fabulous place the cabin is to spend time in. The "Last of the genuine/proper Saabs", the 9000 seems over-engineered in every way to me. Brilliant car, very under-estimated. Standard equipment includes front fog lights, ice cold air-con, climate control, front and rear electric windows, electric mirrors, remote central locking, immobiliser, full black leather interior with suede inserts and Anniversary aircraft logos on seat backs, both front seats are heated with power slide mechanisms (drivers seat has 3 memory settings), cruise control, puddle lights on every door (all working), trip computer showing outside temperature, battery voltage, overall mpg, current mpg and mile range left in tank.
I have a ton of spare parts to go with the car as well including a DI cassette, full set of window glass, lights, various relays/switches, mud flaps, window regulators, digital clock trip computer x2 to replace standard clock etc. Oh, and there is a Haynes manual as well lol!! There is also a set of Aero walnut topped door cards bought and paid for which are awaiting delivery at some point. These are of course included in the sale.
Pretty much unmodified, I have only tinted the headlights and front repeaters with light smoke LaminX tint film, which is easily removed. I also changed the original amber side repeaters for clear ones. The original ones are in the boot, should the new owner decide to revert back.
I've probably forgotten something, however, I've been as honest as I could be, and the bad bits are in the pics below.
Location of vehicle: Bedlington, Northumberland
Postcode: NE22 7GA
Price: £650, but I'd welcome offers from fellow RR members.
I have advertised this car on other forums (steered clear of ebay and Gumtree timewasters for now), so I reserve the right to withdraw the ad at any time. The car won't be considered 'sold' until monies are transferred. First Dibs doesn't really do it for me.
PM me if interested, or feel free to contact me on my mobile O7961OO6667.

Good bits:
Believed to have been remapped to 200bhp by Saab specialist Abbot Motorsport, this was a £30K executive motor when new 16yrs ago. A lot of car for the money.
