What happened to the doors? Weird damage. Good cars though, always liked those! Nearly bought an estate before finding my Volvo.
 
What was wrong with the old car? What was it?
And to be honest 1500 seems a little steep for that considering the damage and the rust. What year/engine?

the old car being a french poo box 307SW, worth £200 scrap money needed work done costing about £600, needed new brakes, tyres, something on the rear suspension.

the saab is a 07plate 2.0T aero anniversary
 
Ah OK I thought it looked earlier than that, like 03 or something. 1500 seems alright then to be honest. :)

For reference, my 03 Aero was £1150 at the beginning of last year with 98k on it, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility. I personally wouldn't have been too keen on paying £1500 with the doors in that condition, but if the rest of the car is up to scratch, then its not a bad price. @dr_volki - check the condition of the battery, these cars are sensitive to them dropping voltage, don't want it to die in the middle of winter like mine :p

i probably slightly overpaid but needed something quick since my old car only had 5days left on the MOT. still not many saabs to choose from in general unless i wanted to spend twice that.
ta on the battery check will get that done at the weekend
 
I think he does ECU exchanges. And I don't know if he has a dyno, but if he does, I doubt your car would be going on it. Its a pre-made and optimised re-map for your engine, not a bespoke tune. You wouldn't want to spend bespoke tune money on a 1500 quid Saab anyway :p
