Decent 05 diesel alternative to that other Saab:



http://cars.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/saab-95/9547943

.... and it's the earlier, better, more Saab like model.

Here's another decent 05 Saab 9-5:

Could be had for bangernomics money, looks nice any issues with these? Nct is genuine. No tax.

... And an 03 Vector spec:



http://cars.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/saab-9-5-vector-md-2-0-lpi/9683579

.... I was tempted by this but when I asked about service history I got the "I'm not sure I'm selling for a friend" story. Motortax website says transferred to dealer about 4 weeks ago so decided it wasn't worth the trek to Castlebar - even though it was just what I was looking for. Worth a look if you're not too far from Castlebar though.

The country was full of them at one stage, something about the VAT being paid back after a few months ? Cheap insurance as well made it a first new car for many people. No back seats was an advantage for having a squeeze with some young wan in the car park of the local nightclub and then pile another 4 or 5 into the back for the trip home. Simpler times indeed.

For that reason it's nearly worth preserving. :pac:



406 diesel estate for €950, NCT 02/16. Great workhorse these.

What would you need to be looking out for on this? T/Belt, Sump Issue?

Any opinions on this one please - still on the hunt for bangernomics car for young lad, he will only be named driver for now.

It has a timing chain and these can last for over 200k miles but do listen for any rattles. Yes - this engine is prone to the sludge issue (pre 04) which is why a good service history is important. If fully synthetic oil was used from outset then you shouldn't have any problems (oil change every 6k miles was recommended). Fully synthetic oil will also prolong the life of the turbo. Check the SID (electronic display unit) - can u read it ok or are there pixels missing - if its bad you may need to replace it (known problem for these years). No other issues. At this mileage you may need to replace the direct ignition cassette sometime soon - may cost c €200 - you might pick one up cheaply from a breakers yard - always good to have a spare. After 3 Saabs I'd forgotten about the problems and niggles that you have with other cars but am content again now having sold my Citroen and bought a Bangernomics 04 9-5 Vector a couple of days ago. If you check DoneDeals you'll find 20 or more 9-5s with over 150k miles and at least 6 with over 250k so if you do buy, chances are that it'll keep going for a long time!

.... that Castlebar 03 is a non UK import Vector spec which is quite unusual. If someone was prepared to pay the new car premium for the Vector spec I would expect them to have taken good care of it but no guarantees without documented service history.

Have a chance to buy this beauty for €900:D





Yay or Nay? Nct'd for a year. Some rusty spots around front arch and boot lock. Would you go for it?

Will try to sell my 00 Scenic for €500, with nct until 05/16 and tax until 08/15 shouldn't be a problem I guess.

Have never had an auto before but that has me tempted to try one out... love the Vector spec on the 95's. Anyone around Castlebar fancy taking a look for me?

I've had two 95's ..
Both auto and I've driven manuals,
Auto is definitely a nicer drive, very smooth and refined especially with the 5 speed auto which I think was introduced in 2002. It was 4 speed prior to that. Sports mode gives plenty of kick and the Winter mode is there if you need more traction in snow.
I got my current 95 for under 2k last July, 2004 with 63K miles on the clock , now I have 78k done and it hasnt missed a beat, just regular 5W30 Fully synth oil changes and some pads and discs is all I've spent (Neo Bros are great for parts, front genuine pads and discs were 55 quid )
At one point I thought the DI Coil was failing but some silicone grease on the rubbers was all that was needed.
Great cars in my opinion ..

(From personal experience) ... your biggest problem with trying an auto, especially if you do a fair amount of city driving, is that you'll never go back to a manual and therby will seriously limit your choice with future car changes. Also lower mpg but a price well worth paying.

Nice Stilo, 2006 with only 112k KMs, NCT until Nov 2016 - a bit of neck should see you get plenty of change from the asking 2 grand.



This is a late model, which had the earlier electrical gremlins sorted, and has the very nice 1.4 16v, far better than the under-powered 1.2

Has nice alloys, air con and sub woofer in boot. Wear on drivers seat should be questioned. (mine has 267,000kms and its better than that) Could be just a short driver.

But worth a look.

Well that's taken the wind out of my sails - thought I had done well picking up an 04 with 78k miles for €1600 and it'll need several hundreds to get it as good looking as yours :mad:

Thanks for that tip - just had a check engine code p1334 show up today - possible DIC problem ... can apparently show up also with low fuel and reserve light was on when I picked it up. Have cleared it and hoping it won't reappear but will get working with the grease if it does.

I like how he's tried so hard to block out the plate and then the very first picture he forgot to hide it:rolleyes:

Motor Tax says he bought it from a dealer and he's had it less than 3 weeks.

Thought it was just for sale for a while. its either a trader trying to moonlight it privately, or an owner punting it on quickly.

Either way, not good.

Yep. If you took out the back seats and window glass you could register it as a commercial vehicle.
That loophole got closed pretty quickly. Simpler times, indeed.

I can't decide whether I'm gutted or relieved that this wasn't put up before my purchase a couple of days ago. It's too small, too old, too many miles but ooooh I don't think I could have resisted the temptation. (Actually I think I've decided on gutted). :mad:

Opinions on this 3 series lads? Quite cheap for the money but owner saying slight rattle on start up, possibly chain...or vanos seals. Anyone care to shed some light on this? Looking for a BMW tourer and this is right up there, ideally I'd like the auto version but for the money...this looks good to me, but I know feck all about them. Had an 02 2.5l automatic one as a company car before and LOVED it...

Timing Chain will need to be changed,hence price ..but is driving well

The fact that he is still driving it would scare me off anyway

Plus after driving the 6cyc one driving the 2.0 would be like eating a mars bar with the wrapper on.
