Harvoin tarjolla!!! Viimeinen malli. Myydään poikkeuksellisen tyylikäs, taloudellinen ja tarkasti huollettu suomiauto. (katsastus voimassa 29.10.2026 asti). Tämä yksilö edustaa mallisarjan viimeistä vuosimallia, ja sen kruunaa upea, erittäin harvinainen ruskea metalliväri. Vahva TTiD-tuplaturbomoottori ja 6-vaihteinen manuaali tarjoavat loistavan suorituskyvyn erittäin pienellä kulutuksella jopa 3.8l/100km ja vähäpäästöisyydellä. Tämä viimeinen malli on optimoitu niin että päästöt ovat hyvin maltilliset mikä pitää verot ja polttoainekulut maltillisina. Mittarilukema on 380 700 km, mutta autoa on huollettu isolla rahalla ja kalleimmat remontit ovat jo takanapäin. Täydellisestä huoltokirjasta ja kuittipinosta löytyvät muun muassa: 377 213 km (30.3.2026): Viimeisin öljyn- ja suodattimen vaihto. 332 484 km (10.12.2024): Jakopääsarja uusittu. 320 000 km: EGR-venttiili ja hehkutulpat vaihdettu. Vuonna 2019: Kytkin ja kaksoismassavauhtipyörä uusittu. Kattava Vector-varustelu takaa loistavan ajomukavuuden: tyylikkäät puolinahkaistuimet, sähkösäätöinen kuljettajan istuin, vakionopeudensäädin sekä sähköpeilit ja -ikkunat. Talvella auto on poikkeuksellisen lämmin toimivan kellollisen Webaston sekä Calixin lohkolämmittimen ja sisätilapistokkeen ansiosta. Mukaan kahdet hyvät renkaat: kesäksi ok-kuntoiset 17" alumiinivanteet ja talveksi erinomaiset 16" Nordman 9 -nastarenkaat. Tästä upea, pihi ja huoleton loppupään Saab valmiina suoraan ajoon!
