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

Jack , thank you. Brilliant, I bought a ‘54 plate 3dr fiesta for our daughter’s first car very happy with the car and I went with Stirling for the insurance. What made a huge difference to the price was putting the V5 in her name and anding mother and father on as name drivers . The policy however is void the day she passes her test but in our case I suspect this could be some time. We love your videos thank you again

Another good video, very informative as usual. We bought my oldest child's car based on it having a 5 star Euroncap rating. Obviously primarily for their safety but, also as some companies will reduce the cost of the insurance quote for a safer car with better safety features. Unfortunately it had the dreaded black box for a year to reduce the premium, personally these are good from a not speeding point of view but, a dangerous distraction as you end up watching the speedo way too much and not the road... We found that a certain company beginning with an H gives good quotes and then upon renewal doubles the quote every time until you ring and say I'm going to cancel and then magically reduces the premium.

I used to own an e320cdi, 2008 reg. It had the optional air suspension. My favourite car that I've owned so far. You notice the little details that mercedes has paid attention to, like the heated seats, only car where the whole of the seat heats up, not just the centre part. The unfortunate thing is, it was horrendous on fuel. Over my 14 months of owning it, I averaged 18-20 mpg, even on a run it struggled to touch 40mpg.

We scrapped our E320cdi. Was prestine and max spec. 97k on the clock. Wasn't Ulez compliant hence we had to get rid of it as it wasn't being driven. Nobody wanted to buy it for a fair price or was offering the same or way less than the scrappage scheme. A real shame as it was a beautiful car. Here is something I noticed. Ours was a 2005 avantgarde v6. Many of the ones that were E320cdis from 2007/2009 which are the Sport model strangely are Ulez compliant. I even contacted Mercedes Benz about this and why those were compliant and mine was not. Was informed they shouldn't be and TFL may have a classification error. I was tempted to buy another E320cdi but a sport as you can often pick them up from salvage auctions for 1k or so as nobody is buying them now as they are 15 or so years old.

Hi. As you know I bought one. Mine was bought from a trader over a 100miles away without me seeing it. I had a water leak and new radiator fixed by the trader after a bit of a standoff. The car needed new brake lines and rear shocks at the next mot and despite a pokey remap and just turning over 200k has been utterly reliable. I have owned over 30 cars some of them nearly new and this is the best by far. Utterly reliable, near Saab levels of comfort, lexus + build and near BMW handling but, much better ride. If there is a better all rounder for under 10k I haven't heard of it. Just to add, a remapped E280cdi can be anywhere from 230 to well over 300bhp depending upon economy, stage1/2 mapping, you can easily go way more than 300bhp/700nm but, the extra torque might upset the gearbox😅 Glad you got your deposit back. Another great, video this channel needs way more subscribers ❤

I had a 2003 Saab 95 aero hot manual a few years ago and it was a brilliant car. It had been mapped by noobtune to just shy of 300bhp and still retaining high 20’s mpg on average. And it was comfy. It was like driving a soft arm chair. And because most people didn’t know what it was it used to surprise a lot of people in things like imprezas and vxr’s 😅 and it was cheap to insure too. I was 25 at the time and had 3 points but it was less than £1000 for the year where as an equivalent powered more common car would have been way more expensive. I’d have another in a heartbeat but I’d go for a wagon this time around. The saloon has a huge boot but lacks a bit of practicality because of the lack of height.

Haha yes it is like a fast comfy armchair! I bet they are good fun with a manual box, only tried the auto. I love the estate practicality and tbh I prefer the look of them to the saloon for the 9-5. Interesting that it was cheap on insurance, not a common boy racer car I guess haha
