It was the last of the original(Pre General Motors) Saabs that launched in 2003 with predominatelyGM runninggear, the most reliableand easiest to maintain.
As you can see from the photosthe complete interior including ALL leather is in simply unbelievableconditionfor a 15 year old convertible and the best indicator of how well it has been cared for.
The exterior still holds a nice deep shine on all side panels with the bonnet showingsigns of pitting and age as does the rear spoiler (these are the only two areas) but even here the paintis still solid and free of peeling or crazing. The frontbumper bare has some superficialpaint cracks and thereare a few car park scars on the corners. There also the usual dents in the usual places from inconsideratecar park users, but overall this is still a smart lookingcar as the picturesprove.
