Description
Saab 9-5 2.3T Petrol High Octane Turbo Saloon, A rare opportunity for Saab enthusiasts or anyone looking to own one of the last of Saab's finest and increasingly collectable cars.
Powered by the legendary 2.3-High Octane Turbo engine producing 260 b.h.p. the Aero is renowned for it's effortless performance, exceptional long distance comfort and understated styling. The optional Sport gearbox facility gives extra performance fot those who want it.
This car is fitted with the desirable Premium Natural Leather Pack ( which is superior to the standard interior). The seats remain in superb condition having been regularly cleaned and conditioned and the interior is equally impressive for a car of this age.
Mechanically, the car is exactly as you might hope , It has been maintained by the previous owners ( and) myself to a high level. with 13 services recorded at approximately:
17k,29k,42k,54k, 70k,79k,85k,93k,100k,109k,117k, 118k, 121.5 miles
Probably the most important preventative maintenance jobs on these engines has already been carried out by a Saab specialist, At 118k he removed and cleaned. the engine sump and oil pick-up strainer. This is a well known upgrade that knowledgeable Saab buyers actively look for, as it greatly reduces the risk of oil starvation in neglected cars. This was noted in the service book Cam belt was changed at 85k
The underside has received a professional anti-corrosion wax treatment by a Saab specialist at 118,000 miles and was undersealed by me again in April 2025.
