    I got into SAAB about 3 or 4 years ago after two decades of BMW and Alfa plus a load of performance cars. They’re fabulous! I’ve had 13 already. Currently have a super rare 2009 9-5 Turbo Edition Aero manual wagon and a 2005 9-3 Aero Hirsch 252. They’re both epic!

    Hi Jack would love to see more content on the saab

    I had two og Saab 9-5 cars a while ago. Brilliant cars, built like tanks and deceptively quick. I had a T reg SE 2.0 lpt which was a really good family car. Drove this car down the M62 on a Good Friday on our way to a holiday rental cottage in Beddgelert. The motorway was empty, because of the public holiday, but without realising it, I was going at about 110mph. As soon as I realised what speed I was was doing, I eased off to get back to the speed limit. Seriously had no idea because the car was ultra quiet and smooth. The Aero is another level on top of that.

    what a car for £700! Didn't think it was possible to get a car that good for that price
  • @MMSaabChannel
    Crazy price 🙈 😍 Great video! Love the car ! It does not take so much just to give it a little care 😍
  • @Kiinell
    Fantastic video, Jack. you really know how to get to all the points, get the message across and keep it interesting and informative. Also well done for saving this fantastic car. I'm confident everything you do will be worth the watch. Cheers.

    I have a 2001 Saab 9-5 2.3T Wagon auto w/ 100k miles in amazing condition, in my driveway. Runs and drives great, gets amazing gas mileage and shifts as smooth as my 8HP90. Doesn't pass emissions so it's been sitting for a year because the cost to replace the parts is equal to buying a Saab that already passes emissions here in California, USA

    Nice video! A SAAB is a good deal if you have some mechanical knowledge and have got a specialist to fix the more difficult stuff. These things can last, are well built and most have got all the kit you would want except for BT audio (a donge fixes this). I`ve got 2, and the 2002 9-5 still feels tight and solid, the wagon has got a panel squak in the boot door, annoying, but I just stuck a washing sponge between the boot floor and the lid and it`s... better. The Edna Aero defintely is more responsive and sporty and with a 19T turbo is rapid, but the 2002 vector is lovingly couch comfy. Characterful cars. Unsolicited advice following: Regarding rust, these can be quite deceptive. They can rot through behind the rear inner wheel well plastic covers. Also the sill ends near the rear wheel can also rot and hide the bad well behind the plastic sill cover. Mine was a deceptive one, the arches were good, but behind the plastic the paint was starting to flake and the sealant gunk was starting to peel off. 2 years more in the winter and some holes would have been present. My biggest latest revelation regarding daily driving a 9-5 is that the springs can go bad on these with age. If the car is kind of unresponsive and the ride is stiff and crashy, new quality springs can definitely tighten the responsiveness and restore comfort. My Aero changed massively for the better after new Eibach Pro Kit springs. Barely lower, rides better, terrific improvement regarding handling and feel. The car now actually wants to go though corners, instead of feeling like I`m dragging it by a leash.

    lots of potential for this channel. keep up brother🙏🏼
  • @mikesear482
    Fantastic video. Looking forward to your journey with the car
  • @user-wd1mo4ih3m
    Personally I like these videos , this one is full of useful tips you can use for any car / purchase. £700 … that’s looking like value.
  • @mrcross5716
    Would love to see some more videos on the Saab, be good to see it with all the new bits too
  • @hugomaia8204
    Quirks and features would be great, Nurburgring would be amazing!!
  • @iandavies1893
    I really enjoyed the video. I had a newer manual version in the same colour with the 250bhp engine and a manual box which makes them so much faster. They are brilliant cars but, watch for sludge build up as a upgraded PCV kit is a must or it can destroy the engines. Personally I think having the variety of different content for your videos makes sense. Take care.
  • @elliotm
    What a great buy! Would love to see an update of the car with new reg plates etc.
  • Great buy Pal, I think the look of those 95 Saabs look the bizz, especially in the estate version, and a perfect beater car to keep, best wishes from Edinburgh, Bruce.
