Myydään tumma ja tulinen turboviallinen SAAB. Autossa ei toimi ahdin, joten matkan teko on aika tehotonta. Tämä onkin suurin syy, miksi autosta luovutaan. Turbon korjauksesta on saatu tarjous: ”Alle viissataa ” Autoon on tehty mm. seuraavia korjauksia:
  • Moottorin korjaus vioittuneen ketjunkiristimen takia noin viisi vuotta sitten.
  • Pari vuotta sitten autoon on uusittu ilmastoinnin kompressori, ohjaustehostin ja takajarrusatulat paloineen ja levyineen.

Muita havaittuja pikkuvikoja:

  • Moottorin tiivisteissä on havaittu pientä vuotoa moottorikorjauksen jälkeen.
  • Auton korissa, konepellissä ja puskureissa on muutamia kiveniskemiä ja peruutusraapaisuja.
  • ABS- jarruissa on jotain häikkää, kun siitä tulee vikailmoitus etupaneeliin.
  • Etukonsolin mukiteline on rikki.
  • Radion yksi nappula on kadonnut.
  • Takalasin pesuri ei ruiskuta vettä.
  • Takaboksin pistoke ei ole toiminut koskaan.
