MAking money = Logic

wheels
leather
engine
facelift headlights = more than the car is worth so imo a good buy.
you could buy it, drive it and not have to worry about having to sell it when your finished.

Aye you have a point there. I sold an E39 with M-pars myself last year and I had a lot of interest in the wheels

Selling a car for parts might even be quite profitable, provided you have the space and a wife happy enough to be living in a knackers yard. Unfortunately I have neither :pac:

Ad says belt and water pump done (but not when).

That looks very decent, low miles too, if I was selling that I'd be asking a tad more.

That os a great great find. Unscangarised 1.4 civic! Perfect bangornomics. Those civic are little tanks. If it is so clean that it could be a bargain of the year.

^The classic 90's civic. A class wee car, owned a few so i have. They dont die easy. I once bought a 97 civic for peanuts. Poor oul yoke hadn't been serviced in almost 2 years.
I flushed out the sludge that was remaining in the engine, changed filters etc, popped in clean oil and she was grand.

Unreal cars. Utmost respect for them. Kicked the hole off of manys a similar Euro alternative for manys a year for power, comfort, economy.

NCT till October, I'd love this, think they're beautiful cars. You'd need the money you save to fill the car every week though.

Not worth the asking price. There are a number of similar cars asking sub €995 on Done Deal

James hides half the reg in one pic, shows it in another, then shows the reg no and the reg'd owner's name and address in the last pic. :pac:

You're gas. Fair play to you.

Edit: I was struggling big time with a very fiddly nut on engine mounts yesterday and almost gave up. Then I remebered some of your exploits (as posted on here) and went back at it full steam. Job done

A mate of mine picked this up for just over a grand during the week, came with a spare set of SAAB alloys with some decent tyres. Engine is from a 9-5 only 4 years old, unreal power and incredibly smooth, well looked after too.

The first owner being the great Ronnie Drew is a bonus, nice to sit into it knowing Barney, Ronnie and god knows who else have been in it! :pac:

My neighbour has an absolutely immaculate one that they seem to only use for Sunday drives. Looks really well in the drive for the money

Your friend did well. It is nice to know the full history of the vehicle. I was quite fond of Ronnie Drew, no airs or graces! Knew him to see in Greystones Co. Wicklow where he resided. Always jovial ,friendly, and a kind word to everyone. He was a nice gentleman.

An absolute bargain. I would have thought that the brand new (and later model) engine would have made this car a lot more desirable (and command a better price).

It's an 11 year old large saloon with a petrol engine. And turbocharged. And a Saab, which is no more. There are only about 10 people in this country interested in buying anything like that. Because of that it's only worth a bit over a grand. You betya that those other 9 people and myself are laughing

The 9 5 is a much nicer looking car imo, the 9 3 looks a mess imo.

And they're all bangerboardsies

@RJ - agreed. The earlier 9-3 looks a lot like the later 900. Saabs have never won any beauty contests, but those two are arguably the worst of the lot

Funny that the later 9-3 was made to look like a smaller, slightly fresher 9-5

I cant stand the dash board in them
