My second stint in a Saab is coming to an end - just wanted to say thank you to all the forum members for help and ideas over the years, and to the moderators for running such a great forum. As for the car (2006 Aero Convertible, Stg2), it's only fault has been a broken wiper assembly in the 3...

Well folks its time to hang up my Saab reins for a while whilst i defect to the dark side (Mercedes ML500 to be exact). The only reason being need more space for the family. I have loved my 2.5yrs with my 2.0T Linear Sport, its a fantastic drive and i really hope whoever has it after me enjoys...

It breaks my heart but my Aero ttid gets collected by a dealer tomorrow to be sold on to some luck person! My first Saab and done 50k miles over the last 12 months. It was a fine car in auto - great box, smooth power always available and no lag. Felt like a v6 as opposed to the perky all over...

I just sold my 2006 9-3 1.9Tid Vector sport. I got a good price, just 33% depreciation from what I paid. It was a pre-reg which I paid 18.25K for, sold it for 12.5K. I was a little sad to see her go. Great looking car & has been 100% reliable in my 2 years / 25k of ownership. But I just couldn't...

I’m not sure of the exact date this is happening, I was only told it was the end of May and I haven’t asked again since. But seeing it’s now around the end of May….. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish Christer Nilsson, the PR guru from Saab Sweden, a very happy retirement. I’d also...

I've finally put my 3.0tid estate up for sale. The simple reason is that we need an extra seat to cart the kids plus various friends around. The 9-5 has done a fantastic job of transporting us all and has simply munched up the motorway miles whilst being unbelievably economical. Over the last...

After owning my GM900 for three and a half years I have decided to replace it with completely different brand, a BMW! I feel like a traitor, I've never enjoyed actually belonging to a marque quite as much since owning a SAAB, and might not for quite some time, but unfortunately in my position...

The time has come for my 9-3T SE and I to part company - its going in Autotrader this week. So just a quick post to say thanks to all you guys for helping sort out the little niggles that I`ve had - keep up the good work! Just hope the new owner whoever they will be will find you!

Ah well, Finally lost the reliability argument and having to get a newer motor as I don't have time to tinker with my Saab any more, so she's off to trade in for a nearly new jap thing. Would like to thank all of the really helpful people here, will definitely be getting another sometime in...

Sad to get my letter from Saab this morning confirming that Beechdale Nottingham will cease to operate as a Saab Dealership effective next Friday 17th October, "for commercial reasons and the impending retirement of Chairman and co-founder Mike Wood". Beechdale in Derby will continue to...
