Convertible wanted C900 NG900 OG9-3 9-3ss South Oxon

Hi all!

I'm on the lookout for a convertible, I put up a thread for advice on what type and it seems like the forum likes all types!

I'm in no rush particularly, I am considering a few options. The car must be a runner with MOT. Some issues may be acceptable, depending on what those may be.

Currently, I would love to hear further details about available cars like these. Prices are just how much of a budget I have for each model, not all offerings will necessarily be worth that much/little!

For up to £3000:

c900i Convertible (or an LPT if one is available)

For up to £2250:

OG9-3 Convertible Aero
9-3ss Convertible Aero (2.0 or 2.8)

For up to £2000
OG9-3 Convertible SE 185bhp
NG900 Convertible 2.0Turbo

Under £1500:
NG900 Convertible 2.3i

Maybe someone will have something I like the look of? Maybe not!

Happy to travel. PM if you have something.

Cheers all!

Rob

Hello,

I have a SAAB CABRIO 9.3 SE which I would like to sell. Black with beige leather interior. In immaculate condition, as I have always looked after it and only took it out in the summer. MOT till June 2023. 185,000 km (approx 116,000 miles) It's a left-hand drive UK registered.

Maybe you would be interested?

Kind regards

Britta

Cheers mate! That's one of my watched items on ebay.

Going to look at a 55 plate 9-3 Aero tomorrow that looks promising from Facebook so I may be sorted soon all being well.

Going to look at another NG9-3 vert tomorrow.

It has a couple of issues but hopefully less that the one I looked at last week, which needed circa £1000 spent on it.

I have my fingers crossed but I am being uncharacteristically restrained on this purchase. I must confess that I usually buy the first car I see...

I saw that pop up yesterday and it is lovely! Over budget but not hugely over my absolute maximum, one to consider I think.

Not going to SaabFest though, I need to be home early evening today and to collect my 8 year old from the airport (!) tomorrow. Have fun!

Car sourced. Got a 2.0 9-3ss Aero vert in Steel Grey. It's got a couple of small issues but nothing a weekend shouldn't fix. Drives very nicely. :)
