Due to a bit of a change on plan, and a bit of balancing the books, I've had a bit of change of mind of car that I'm after.
Previously, I was looking at a 3 Series, which I will still be after, but in around 18 months time. Reason I'm delaying purchase on this is the fact I'll be enjoying the sunny delights of Afghan for 6 months at the end of 2011. Don't really want a more expensive car sitting there, depreciating with no use, and the fact I'll come back with quite a bit extra cash which will be going towards a car and/or bike.
So, for now, I'm looking at something quiet a bit cheaper, a diesel, ideally a saloon or hatchback, with a maximum engine output of ~150bhp(What I can be reasonably insured on in Germany).
So far, I've been looking at SAAB 9-3's from around '05/'06, I do quiet like the look of them in the flesh(know they're not to everyone's taste mind you heh). Is there anything I need to know about them or anything to look for? I know they're basically Vectras dressed up some what, but that doesn't put me off massively, I'm not looking for a massively stimulating car, as I've got my motorbike for that lol.
Cheers in advance guys
