Title: Saab 9-3 convertibles?
Post by: thermidorthelobster on April 13, 2007, 11:44:34: I've always fancied a soft top and the Saab 9-3 convertibles now seem to be available at vaguely reasonable prices. Autotrader has some 50,000 mile examples at around 6 grand.

The chances of me getting one are remote (Mrs Thelobster would kill me), but nonetheless I'm interested to know if anybody has / has had one and what you think of them?

"If you want a Vectra convertible, buy a SAAB 9-3"

Although, admittedly, the SAAb is 100% better looking

I was about to turn it off when Hammond started that piece.

It only took a few minutes before the wife came in to ask why the volume was on '50' :lol: :lol:
Plus, why I was sitting on the floor (looking a bit green) going "Poop, Poop!" :lol: :lol: :lol:
(I guess someone will know what I meant by that)

Post by: Lord Shagg-Pyle on April 13, 2007, 19:45:56: One of the guys at work bought one 2 months ago and has just sent it back, after the electrics went up in smoke and the paint started to bubble up on the boot lid.
He has now bought a big Nissan 4x4. A bit different. :?
