Looking for my next Saab

Nasty Bob · 2006-01-26T20:20:01+00:00

OK, so I've had my first Saab for 3 years now. A '92 dark green 9000CS LPTwith leather etc. I can't say she's ever let me down in a big way, but she'sbeginning to show her age (160,000ml) and with the amazing value of thesecars in the UK I'm tempted to try the full pressure turbo version next.So...Much difference between the 2l & 2.3l in terms of performance, acceleration,economy?What exactly does "Aero" mean for the 9000?Avoid the 16v models?Forget about auto gear boxes?Should I avoid the anniversary re-issues?Ever bought a car off Ebay??What I want is a *really* good example, in pristine condition that I cankeep, love and cherish for the next 5 years or so.. Black, tan leather,2.3litre, FPT / FSH @£2,500?????Any thoughts much appreciatedBob

LPT affects the insurance? That's odd, my insurance company doesn't even list whether my cars have a turbo or not, my policies just list the series of the car and whether it's gas or diesel.

UK insurance uses 'insurance groups' from 1 to 20.

Typical figures ( individaul insurance companies may use different group ratings )

9000 NA 12-14 9000 LPT 13-14 9000 FPT 14-15 9000 2.3 FPT 16-17 9000 Aero/Griffin 17 9000 Carlsson 17-18
