Just make sure the window cover does cover all glass and not just the windscreen as some policies cover windscreen only. Could be very wrong but something tells me that window could be saucy enough to replace.
It is fairly light on test with it being out on the 5th of March (date the four month extension runs out).

Thats why it's a bit of a gamble, 2 months NCT isn't much, but given the low miles from the last NCT, that's unlikely to have caused any serious issues other than maybe rust or corrosion which could get worse just sitting in the driveway

I'd definitely be heading to look at it if it was anywhere near my 5km lockdown zone. The usual inspections apply but assuming you have windscreen cover that would cover the replacement back window, this car is about a grand under priced, which goes a long way to pay for minor work to get the NCT or replace the scratched bumper if you're worried about that

It's so hard to get a decent petrol Saab these days, I think they'll keep their value as long they're in roadworthy condition and the bodywork is good.

Polo Dune is gone, I'm a bit gutted, it was just too far to go for a car considering all the restrictions on travel.

They’ve been a mixed bag as a taxi, I’ve heard horror stories about them and I’ve heard lads who swear by them, only thing I’ve heard consistently is the autobox are very unreliable.

I've never seen an auto, anyone who'd taxi in an auto version deserves anything they get:pac:

No, certain policies cover windscreen only and not any of the other glass in the car and that's for certain. I know that from getting umpteen quotes year in year out. That is likely the exception to the rule though and most will cover all glass. All I'm saying is you would want to double check beforehand if your buying it on that basis.

As you mention though a good once over before buying would be a must, as with any used car, just to make sure it is only minor work to get the NCT.

Well spotted, I'd presume picture 7 is shown by genuine mistake.

Unusual colour for one of them. Would they be getting that kind of money? Work colleague, well ex work colleague at this stage bought an 11 one for 900 euro last year, he loves it.

The cheapest 11 on Donedeal is €3k, fair to say he got quite a deal.

Seems way too cheap but if valid then fair play.

He was stuck for a car at the time his own car had been hauled off to the scrapman terminal engine failure. The boss had the Kia he was going to put it up on DD it had massive mileage almost 300,000 miles and about 3 weeks test. He had to spend about another 500 to get it through the test. I met him in Aldi and it's flying it still. They're a nice aul yoke to drive, good enough on diesel.

Having had a DL reg car a few years back, I'd advise check for rust underneath, in case it lived close to the sea.

True true. More of a UK lineage than the Atlantic but you're spot on.

There awful looking yokes, if a bit quirky.

At that price though it would get you out if a hole.

The electric sliding doors on those gave terrible trouble and crazy expensive to repair. That one seems a bit cheap imo so I'd pay especial attention to the doors.

Neighbour had one - he had limited mobility. I would think that is the market.

I worked in Peugeot when these were new. Them doors were very handy when you needed to get into a car when on a 2 post lift (not advisable)

Do the sliding doors only give access to the front seats ?
