I hate to have to poll this subject, but as I am planning to buy a new house in Central London and may have to let go of my 93ss . I hope to buy a second hand 95 though - as I have heard many good things about them, on this site.

But how much is my car now worth? It is a 2.0t Vector in Black with Auto and sentronic paddles. Mileage by the time I sell will be 3000. It is also an import (will this make a lot of difference? - as nothing on the V5 states this). I have tried Glasses Guide web site but it is still giving me the 93 Hatch.

Any ideas?????

Have a look at the Saab GB website which has a list of all dealer's stock.

http://www.saab.co.uk/main/GB/en/used_cars.xml

Type in your postcoode and find your local dealer's stock then click on "National Stock" at the bottom of the page and search for 9-3SS.

I think the dealers are asking in the £18,000 to £20,000 for low mileage, but rumour is that very good deals are available, so their real price may be a lot less than this.

Your price should be £2,000 or £3,000 less than that.

My guess is that if you sell for cash you will be offered about £12,000 by a dealer. If you sell privately you might get a bit more.

Just a guess though.

Sorry about bumping you - hit wrong button.

Having weighed the pros and cons of the situation - I have decided to keep the 93! (Obviously didn't want to loose 7K on a three month old car!)

On another note - is there an slighly sportier exhaust system I can get added without hurting the warranty?
