Description from the seller, in Finnish.

Tilava farmari turbo Saab jokapäiväisestä ajosta. Kahdet renkaat aluvantein. Kesärenkaat vaihtokunnossa, talvirenkaat nastoilla. Kaksi avainta. Ilmastointi. Vetokoukku, 13 napainen pistoke. Tummennetut takalasit. Iso nippu kuitteja huolloista. Viimeiset vuodet huollettu pitkälti itse tai "kyläsepällä". Itsellä ollut 5,5 vuotta. Nyt harrastuksen takia siirryttävä nelivetoon. Tehot tallessa ja hyvä ajettava. Ajan tuomaa jälkeä löytyy. Etulokasuojissa ruosteen alut, vielä saisi hyvin korjattua kun vasta pintaruostetta. Toisessa takaovessa lommo, maalipinta kuitenkin ehjä. Pissapojan moottori mykkä (ajovalojen toimii), ei tutkittu. Öljyä oon lisännyt parin kuukauden välein.
