PLEASE TXT ME ON MY MOBILE TO ARRANGE PICTURES / VIEWING ETC, REALLY MUST GO IN 4 DAYS - 07838906762 *ADMINS* I know its a little newer than the rules stipulate but its a very 'RR' sort of car, I'm hoping it stays in the community because who doesn't like a fast Saab wagon? Forgive the slightly rushed add, I'm doing it from work... So here we have my Saab 9-5 estate. Its the top spec Aero High Output Turbo model meaning it has the 2.3 turbo petrol engine and 5 speed manual with 250 brake, circa 160k miles. Starts and runs absolutely spot on and pulls like a train, it is genuinely staggering how quick it goes for a big old bus! Expect mpg of about 20 round town and 30 on a run. On my 80 mile round trip commute I've managed 36mpg a couple of times but it takes the fun out of it a little. MOT till early July Its fully loaded inside as you would expect, Full leather, heated in the front and electric adjustment. Dual zone digital climate, electric everything, cd player, tow bar etc. Regularly serviced, running on £250 of matching Hankook mid range tyres that were fitted last year. Negatives - Exhaust is blowing (its not bad enough to get you pulled over but it sounds curse word) passenger front electric window doesn't work, tailgate is rotten on the lower edge, its in need of a damn good clean, polish and valet... I'll almost certainly regret selling because its such a versatile and reliable tank but I'm thinning out the fleet and could do with the space. I cant put photos on from this computer but if you message my phone I can send them through messenger, txt, whatsapp etc. 07838906762 Collection from Grimsby £475 Thanks for looking Andy *edit* I also have a spares car in my lockup that the buyer can have first refusal on. Same spec but saloon, no exhaust, battery, MAF and some breather pipes removed. Been off the road and not run for around 3 years but stored in a dry unit. £150

He's had Saabs for years and is the person who got me into them! Can't go far wrong with a Volvo! I'll try and get some pictures onto the add from my laptop before the weekend

Holy moly that's cheap, can you actually go faster for less? I doubt it. I honestly don't think its possible to have this ratio of speed, space and gadgets in an MOT'd package for less! Anyway, I've been really slack with this, mainly because I've been mega busy with work and also because I've just got a VW Transporter I've been playing with. I know everyone wants photos on here and its simple nowadays but I'm using works computer for this. I can still send pictures through messenger / WhatsApp (my number is in the add) I'm away all weekend on a stag doo, consequently I've booked a recovery Monday to nurse my hangover. This means if anyone wants to come and have a nosey around the mighty swede I'll be present - in body if not in mind - all day in Grimsby. *Its also occurred to me I might swap it / do a deal on a moped / small motorbike I can drag around with my camper. Nighty night

Can anyone help me out here - and get ready for a peculiar story - A RRer agreed a deal on this with me months ago (see 'deposit paid' comment above) and paid 50%.
The chap then said it was going to take him longer than expected to collect but he was happy to pay me the remaining 50%. I explained that was absolutely fine, told him it was parked on the street and if he taxed it that would be dandy. He paid me, took the logbook details for taxing it and that was that.
Its now been on my front for 3 months, I still have the keys and paperwork, I cant find his contact details on my phone since I had it repaired, the neighbours are complaining its taking up space on a tight street and its now about a month since the MOT ran out.
What do I do!? I don't want to upset anyone but it might end up getting towed if something isn't done soon. The chap who bought it would feel cheated, he still hasn't filled in the logbook either, I don't know what to do.
Penny for your thoughts, particularly Admin, as I don't want to upset a fellow member

If you can remember the dates you contacted them, you can log into your mobile phone account, view the bills and see which numbers you were contacting around that time.

Unfortunately it was through WhatsApp, but I don't seem to have any historic conversations since I got my phone back from being repaired!

I would say you have left it long enough for the buyer to collect or at the very least make contact.
I would have no qualms about selling the car again and then keeping the money paid to one side to refund if the original buyer surfaces at some point.

The original buyer has made contact, there is no love lost and its all amicable.
He has been honest and said there is no way it can be collected anytime soon so i'm offereing it back up for sale on his behalf. He's wanting to recoup his money as best he can so - its back up for sale at £400. The mot has expired and the battery is most likely kippered now but it starts from a jump start and is just as previously described

THIS MUST GO IN THE NEXT 4 DAYS OR ITS GETTING CUBED!
It deserves a better ending than this. The neighbours have reported it for being out of mot and parked on the road. Ive had an offer from a scrap man already but if anyone can possibly save it please do. The tyres on powder coated wheels must be worth £200?
Please txt me on the number above and ill get back to anyone interested asap
