Hi guys,
Back from the world of non-Saab ownership. Sold my 2.3T CD Carly and regretted it ever since.
I've got a few questions for the Carly experts amongst you.
I've got the option of getting an early 2.0L 9k Carlsson on a G/89 plate - just under 120K, FSH - (main dealer up to 100K)
The car is the original style black with red pinstripes but has different internal spec to my J plate 2.3 than I thought the Carly's had.
These are the differences I spotted:
1. No aircon or CCS - just dials.
2. Slightly different seats,
3. Multi spoke alloys - Not Aero 3 spokes
4. Lighter coloured wood trim - less plasticky, but more fake looking. Its also inlaid into front door handle cappings - but not rears, centre console lid but not rear ashtray, and the central electric window switch surround.
5 Grey stripe across steering wheel not red.
6.Plain bootlid - ie no decal strip at all.
7. "chrome" plastic inlaid in door handles.
8. Glass sunroof (factory)
It does have the Carly body kit I've seen on the Saab literature (the one with the 900, 9k & 9k CD all black) and a Carly badge.
Can anyone confirm these specs as correct?
The Car was registered to Saab for some time at the beginning of its life and was bought from them by my Seller with only a few hundred miles on the clock.
Could this be a Dealer "building" a Carly or were they all done that way anyway or from the factory?
History and seller are genuine but am confused about the car itself.
Any advice welcomed
Its good to be back
Regards,
Dave
