I'm looking for a used 9-3. I'd be grateful for any information on
where to find one - recommended dealers (under £4k - no posh
showrooms), individuals, friends of friends, websites - absolutely any
way I can locate a suitable car. Preferably London but could view
elsewhere if car was interesting. All help appreciated!!! Andy

Andy....have a look at Ben Berry's web site www.saaben.com . He's a
specialist dealer. I bought my 9000 from him about 6 years ago. Did a very
fair deal and good advice and support afterwards too.

Give Mike a go at OnlySaab (http://www.onlysaab.co.uk/), I bought my 9-5
off him last year, a quick blast down the M4 to Bristol from London.

The current stock has some cars well within your budget

like this one;

1999 model year, £2,995 and 65k on the clock.

Or if you fancy something with a little more oomph, how about a 1997 FPT
900 for the about the same price;

Certainly no posh showrooms (he works from home!) and he knows his way
around the main Saab dealers so he can usually locate a car to your
requirements if you ask.  Mike was originally involved with St Georges
Saab which was one of the best independent Saab dealers in the area for
many years so he knows his Saabs.

Failing that there is always eBay...

Cheers,

Andy
