Depreciation can be a bitch for a new owner, take this Saab brought 10 months ago for £42,000 has £4000 of optional extras on top of list, brought it this week for £25,000 with a Hirsch Performance taking it up 330 Bhp, i call that a deal if you like the car or not lol.
At 1950 odd kg it has an impressive turn of speed with AWD it holds the road as well for such a big car.

Just like that rear end (and no should have brought BMW,Merc,Audio etc already owned wanted to have something different last car was a Saab 9-3 2t convertible, how many of these you think you will see compared to the latter)

Very nice car. Although I'd never pay £42k for a brand new one, that's a lot of money for a Saab.

I think they look superb and they drive great, you enjoy that mate.

Looks like a car built for the U.S. market.

Too right like all these cars the option list are scary
Sat nav AND HD £1230
harman/kardon® Surround Sound system £565
Headup display £615
etc

Ouch all cars in this sector are nuts you can throw another £4,000 into them so easy

That rear

Looks awesome, and great performance to go with the looks.

Yep, and in three years you'll sell it for £10k

.

In all seriousness that sounds like a very good deal.

andy_mk3 · 8 Jun 2011 at 15:33

The rear end looks a bit Jaguar. I like

DM · 8 Jun 2011 at 15:49

I do like those Saabs but i have to ask, didnt you fancy 25k worth of XF Jag instead?

I did want a S-Type R but wanted something a bit different, saw this when going for a rear light bulb defect on the 9-3 and purchased it there and then. Someone in this country has to support Saab lol

Do want.

Ezah · 8 Jun 2011 at 16:08

Do like, especially the rear, that's for sure! This is the best looking model for a while.
The interior/dash design, whilst typically saab, always leaves me a bit underwhelmed though compared with other cars in this class. But this seems a very good deal, and as a previous owner of 2 saabs and sure you'll enjoy.

Lovely shaped car, stylish with a hint of an agressive stance - without trying to look like its a supercar or anything OTT.

But ye gods, that interior looks like its straight out of a Skoda

Morba · 8 Jun 2011 at 16:15

Much better looking than previous generations

I dont think that interior looks any worse than anything German and modern in that size class.

Great looking car.
