Saab, 9-3, Convertible, 2007, Manual, 1910 (cc), 2 doors

Description

Sadly selling my lovely Saab as it’s old and I need a reliable car for work going door to door and doing high miles so not the most suitable. Can’t afford to keep 2 cars otherwise I’d have kept it as a car for fun as I love it but it’s just not plausible. Has some faults as listed below. Still starts, drives well and is road legal.

MOT until July 2027. Tax about £312 a year or £26 a month. From empty to full it’s been around £86 at current fuel prices.

Had for a year and an half and it was my dad’s before that. Well looked after and any necessary work done when needed.

Convertible roof goes up and down completely with no issues. Nippy and very nice to drive. Has amazing air con in the summer and heats up nicely in the winter.


Has a loose dual mass flywheel quoted at around £1000 for repair. Still driving well, mechanic said this particular issue can last a few months to a couple years before failure depending on usage which is why I have changed to a new car. Been sat in yard since then around 3 weeks.

Since it’s been sat for a while it was slow to start up today when I tried but when in use it started quickly.

Has an oil leak deemed not excessive.

Recently had steering rack refurbed, MOT advisory states has slight play but not affecting drive.

Have 2 keys but buttons on one doesn’t work so that one only unlocks by key but it does go into fob and start up car. Everyday key works but case is loose so have had it taped up but these are easily replaced.

In very heavy rain, the roof can leak a little. Keeping it covered overnight or when sat outside for long periods seems to have resolved that.

Both windows in the front go down well but take a few attempted to get back up as they get to the top and go straight back down so takes a bit of fiddling.

Has some scuffs and imperfections to paintwork but still a nice looking car.

Any questions please message and I’ll answer as best as I can. As I’ve said it’s still fully drivable but will need work done in future so may be best for a project or Saab enthusiast. Or spares and repairs
