A chance voicemail from ‘Natalie Saab Seller Exeter’ took me by surprise, as she had sold me the gone-but-not-forgotten Saab 9-5 Estate over a year ago. Turns out there was another Saab Vector in Black for sale, this time a 9-3 Convertible.
This 1.9 diesel powered Swede has covered a mere 170,000 miles, and it was my bottom on the not-heated seat when the digital dials ticked over from 169,999 to the big one-seven-oh.
Other than some obvious wear inside (detailed in the video), this car is generally very tidy indeed. Outside you’d never know that it has covered the miles, although it would benefit from a wheel refurb and some new centrecaps (these are on the way!)
Buying the car was great fun, mostly because it involved a Honda Melody. Enjoy the video and scroll down for the gallery!
