vehicle description:

I"m reluctantly selling my Saab 9-3 Aero. It"s been SORN since June due to an MOT failure and after much stalling and consideration I"ve decided to put the MOT repair costs into buying a new car so I need to clear the space.
I"ve had it for around six years and it was a real pleasure to drive! There was only one previous owner and he sold at around 100k miles.
It will obviously be sold as seen but I will be as brutally honest as I can be:
MOT failure notes:"Nearside rear Registration plate lamp not working""Nearside front Shock absorber has a serious fluid leak""Rear Exhaust has a major leak of exhaust gases"
(Note: estimated quote at the time was around £350 to get it through the MOT)
MOT advisory items:"Front Windscreen has damage to an area less than a 10mm circle within zone "A"""Offside front Shock absorber has slight corrosion to the casing""Nearside front brake disc worn, pitted or scored, but not seriously weakened""Nearside front lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement""Offside front lower Suspension arm rubber bush deteriorated but not resulting in excessive movement""Offside front wiper split""Front bumper insecure""Engine management light on indicating possible fault"
My notes:The car does not go into fifth gear! It pops out into neutral when you try but aside from that the gearbox is fine.The ABS is very sensitive when breaking. Seems more noticeable at slow speeds.The car DID have a coolant leak from the radiator however this has been totally cured with Radweld and has held up fine for some months now.The oil does go down a little faster than it should (it has been like this since first owning it six years ago).The dashboard display / A/C display is hard to read due to a fault with every MK1 Saab 9-3 known to man.The A/C needs re-gassing.The tyres can occasionally need a top up in pressure (I"ve been told numerous times from different tyre companies that this is due the Aero models" alloys being a bit "leaky").Noticeable scuff on front bumper.Plastic covers missing from left and right trim underside - where jack is inserted to raise car.CD changer tray is missing.Rear light has very small crack which is covered by the correct clear tape.Generally a few odd tatty bits but to be expected with the age.
I do have a fair bit of documentation and service history, although it has missed its last couple of services! I have the previous MOT certificates etc.
I also have both keys - although one is held together with tape as the back piece is loose.
I"ll include the original stereo (didn"t get a chance to remove the aftermarket one as I"ve misplaced the tool required to take it out).
I have tried VERY hard to explain everything I know about the car, however as mentioned, it will be sold as seen as spares or repairs.
Thanks!
