vehicle description:

A beautiful Saab 95 Estate Automatic in gloss black paint with lovely contrasting cream leather upholstery and matching door detail completed with polished dark walnut.  The dashboard is also surrounded by polished dark walnut and it has a quality facia. There is an AM/FM Radio and CD player and a professional hands-free Parrott blue tooth mobile telephone device that cuts the radio automatically.  Both systems can be controlled with buttons on the steering wheel. There is also a rather clever cup holder that is typically Saab. The floor is covered in black carpeting with matching car mats. The cabin has a very classy look. This is the only car I have ever driven that comes with four sun visors - two each side.
The car comes with a full service history.  Every invoice for repairs and maintenance is included.  The car has just had replacement front pads for the brakes fitted at 88,711 miles.  It has also had a new DPF at 87,576 miles, a new exhaust turbo charge pipe at 87,678 miles and a new exhaust pressure sensor the same time as the new front brake pads.  The car drives beautifully and displays no dashboard warning lights.  Functionally, everything works as it should. I had the cam belt replaced at 57,092 miles. The next replacement will be due at either 120,000 miles or in 2018 (whichever comes first). As you can see from the photographs, the pristine engine bay is clean and contamination free.
The car has relatively low 89,000 miles for its age. The original owner, a Lady, did 42,000 miles and had it serviced six times during her six years of ownership. As the current owner I purchased it as my retirement car in September 2012 and have covered a further 47,000 miles of careful driving.  The car has never been thrashed. As a result, the engine and gearbox are in very good order and never use any oil between services. I have continued to have the car serviced following the indications that are automatically displayed on the cars message centre. The car still has its original tool kit and luggage restraining kit located in the spare wheel well below the rear compartment floor.  This is also the home of the locking nut for the alloy wheels.
The car has two fog lights and is equipped with headlamp washers. The headlamps are self-levelling.  The car has luggage roof rails. I had the car fitted with a tow bar and twin electrics, although it has done very little towing (approx 1,600 miles). It is a great tow car. With the rear seats folded down the car has immense loading space.  Passengers in the rear seats have generous leg room. If carrying only two rear passengers the rear seat can be enhanced by a centre pull down arm rest that houses two cup holders. 
The tyres are in excellent condition: The front tyres were fitted at 80,880 miles (approx 8,000 miles of use).The rear tyres were fitted at 84,495 miles (approx 4,500 miles of use).
The battery was replaced at 70,675 miles in November 2013 with the recommended version.
This is a very comfortable car. The cruise control provides a relaxed drive on long distances. Opinions differ of course, but to my eyes this is a very good looking car and like all Saabs it provides something a little different to other makes. It is a pleasure to drive.
