What a response to the earlier thread... Thanks to all who responded... Anyway, shirley it's time to bring that little post fest to a close. After considering, A 97P 528iSE 124K Manual, lthr int (new eng at 74K), 75% Service History, £4995 (Dealer) A 95M Lexus GS300 95K Auto lthr int, Full LEXUS Serice History £4595 (Dealer) A 99/V 89K Manual FSaabSH SAAB 9-5 2.3tSE Airflow Saloon cloth int £4995 (Dealer) A 98R 97K Manual FSaabSH SAAB 9-5 2.3tSE Eco Saloon cloth int £4000 (Saab Specialist) I am approx 48 hours from buying ...... The 98/R SAAB. It has Excllnt Eng/Gbox,Immaculate inside and out, Midnight blue with char grey interior, 16" Saab Alloys,with Harmon Kardon stereo, AC/Climate C, new MOT, (Tank full of Petrol/New service after required arm twisting about no sun roof and mistakenly stating 185 hp instead of 170 bhp). And just a little aside... The Saab specialist dealer is "INCLUDING" a Comprehensive 12 month PARTS & Labour Warranty provided by themselves, and "recommending", which ECU upgrades to go for.. How considerate.... So after, the future planned +64hp ECU/Brakes/Air filter upgrade, I believe I'll be contented.... for a while... Comments.... No flames please, I don't smoke..... very well.
