I remember this from my childhood. My dad had a boring Volvo 244 but my friends dad had a SAAB dealership and always had the latest model Saabs. And one day when he picked me up to go to the icehockey training he showed up in a brand new 99 turbo. And it was so luxurious! Burgundy red with an incredibly luxurious red velour interior and soft rear seat headrests... 🥰 And so incredibly fast! When that turbo kicked in...

I really enjoy this channel. The fact that it’s on KZread is great! The lads don’t follow the usual formula of buying and selling and I think that’s refreshing! They seem like nice pair of blokes, fair play to them.

It runs hot, so let's bolt some huge spots in front of the radiator.. genius lads!

These guys are teaching others to bodge up bangers, and to sell some poor in expecting victim. They're everything that is wrong in the auto trade ​@@anthonyxuereb792

hey guys why not just enjoy the series for what it is...a bit FUN

Gus dropping the F bomb says it all 😂

Some of you seemed to have missed the point--with no turbo, these things are not a hot item. So they did something to make it stand out and it worked. I like seeing cars that are ready for the junkyard getting a new life, if that new life is only that it is going into someone's collection and it won't be driven much.

You really believed they put it on an auction and sold it to a genuine buyer Bless

Great vid and Donna’s rally sticker company is excellent

I don´t understand how do you want to get top money online if you take the fotos before the transformation

@@pauloconnor7951 they make the listing on first day, it doesn't really make much sense at all except that it's scripted as if they buy a car on monday and sell it on friday. they also supposedly decide on the max price(but it now price) before they know what they need to do to it or how nice it turns out.

Years ago I looked at buying one of these cars NEW which I felt were interestingly funky and bound to be a great car in snow given I live in Canada . Borrowed one for a week in February and to this day is absolutely the worst driving car in snow I have ever encountered including a couple of Jags I owned and that was saying something 😂

I’m a big saab fan, but the result here looks like a clown car

I love the 99.

I like watching and listening to the banter, and also learning about the defects you uncover on different cars. But some of your statements are misleading. E.g. - you absolutely cannot 'stop rot' by replacing some panels or patching holes. It needs a a bare-bones treatment that is totally out of reach for most cheap-car buyers. Patches & repairs on rustboxes will only extend a car's life until it turns to Swiss cheese and falls apart. I once had a fantastic Alfasud that I loved, but it rusted through faster than you could believe.

Looks like new 😋

Oh yes, and the grills in the rear wings are there for a reason, most things on a SAAB are. They are integral to the heating and ventilation allowing free flowing of hot, cold and fresh air through the entirety of the vehicle. Taping over them is a dumb idea.Grrr.

Gotta love these "car" channels with people that know absolutely nothing about cars. Well, i suppose thats what goes for good telly these days. With very limited knowhow and a slim budget, not building a "rallye" car of this one had been the best option. There are still people that like saab in the uk. There should be a part two in this serie, when the new owner finds out about all the new problem his/hers "renovated" car have. For example, the fog that are going to be in the car from now on, the rallye decal is covering the air exhaust on the side of the c-post, so no air is ever going to leave the car ever again..

It's entertainment. Do you really think two adults can really “carve out a living”, flipping bangers? A profit of 1000 British pounds after all the parts and labour, is ridiculous now divide that between two men and their families in the 21st century in the UK? They would have to turn a car around every day. Like I said, entertainment.

Hi Ryan, unfortunantely, no. I worked for saab over 10yrs before they shut down. I worked as a testdriver and instructor on forklifts and workplace designer. Also i worked as a licensed car mechanic (major in highschool) for many years. I have also worked at volvocars for 8yrs as a problemsolver licensed by toyota. So i know what im talking about. Hopefully this helps you anderstand that i have a better view than most so called "experts".@@Ryan-lc9ij
