A rare spec (desired Aero trim), twin-turbo (TTiD) Saab convertible in excellent condition - perfect for summer drives with the roof down and a surprisingly refined and comfortable cruiser all year round. Premium example of the rare and sought after 1.9TTiD (180bhp) - powerful, torquey and economical - twin turbos for a smooth and responsive drive. 6-speed Diesel Manual Fast fully automatic soft-top in excellent condition - both mechanism and fabric. Leather heated seats. Well cared for leather, regularly treated. Only minor signs of age (see photos). Dual-zone climate control Cruise control Parking sensors Alloy wheels (all in very good condition - especially for age - no security bolts) Premium sound system Added DAB via included PURE Highways 800 system (phone, DAB etc.) Electric windows and mirrors Condition: Mechanically very sound and drives beautifully. Bodywork and interior in exceptionally good shape for its age. A few age-related marks and two bodywork scuffs (see photos) but nothing a S.M.A.R.T repair can't put back to perfect relatively cheaply. Electric folding roof works perfectly and seals well. All four tyres relatively new with plenty of tread remaining . Coil springs replaced in December 2024. Known 9-3 issue with sticking gears corrected about four years ago (see below): "The Saab 9-3 (specifically the 6-speed manual models), commonly experiences gear selection issues due to a faulty gear turret pivot point. The nylon sleeve in the pivot degrades over time, causing stiffness or even making it difficult to select gears. A common repair involves replacing the nylon sleeve with a more durable stainless steel pivot screw and PTFE bush bearing." This modification has been completed. Service history: Well cared for and maintained. Garage services until 79,000 miles (85% of use) and home services since (including fuel, air, cabin filters and wipers etc.) - but at very low annual use - just a summer fun car - loved and cared for. Private plate will be replaced with original registration (08 plate). Why I'm Selling: We have LOVED this car. But, sadly, it just isn't what we need in our very rural Welsh location. We are replacing her with (don't tell her...) a 'pick-up'. Please only buy if you are going to love and enjoy this great car for all her style, rarity, performance and fun.
