The second-generation Saab 9-3 is a virtually indestructible machine, as proven by this clean and original 2004 Convertible model. It has a 150bhp 2.0-litre turbo engine and automatic gearbox, while plush Vector spec brings a grey leather interior to complement the deep blue metallic paint. This car has spent four years in Spain as a holiday home car, which accounts for the very low mileage – the odometer reads just 48,455 – and also a complete lack of rust. The engine, transmission and electrics are all in ‘excellent’ condition (it “runs and drives superbly,” says the vendor), while the bodywork, paintwork and interior are described as ‘good’. Boasting a long MOT, this Saab also has lots of service history plus the original sales brochure and book pack.
Introduced in 2002, the second-generation Saab 9-3 was again developed from a GM architecture further enhanced by the famous Swedish brand. It boasted smooth and efficient turbocharged petrol engines, which proved to be reliable and efficient. Popular Saab-specific features included the ‘Night Panel’ feature; press it and the entire dashboard illumination was extinguished at night, apart from the speedometer – with individual aspects, such as the fuel gauge, lighting up when necessary. The Convertible model boasted a standard electric folding roof and full four-seat comfort.
In summary:• Original 2.0-litre turbo Saab 9-3 Convertible• High-spec Vector trim• Plentiful service history including the original sales brochure
