Saab 93 2.8 Turbo Aero

Bought this on a wim really, before realising Saab had done an MG Rover. Mind you its no MG, thank God. After a bit of research on the actual model 93, it actually is nearly all a Saab and not GM,lol. Anyhoo its a 2006 2.8 twin scroll turbo Aero Wagon with 99% of all factory options, and i have to say its a stormer. Real Q car, very Saab understated even in black but boy does it go, and handle. Im honestly well impressed. Mainly after our last two Audi B6 Avant horror stories and hideous running costs on them, i wanted something still quality but not BMW. Thats how i stummbled on this, i would deffo reccomend one, even if theres no actual company around anymore.lol.

A guy at my work had one but sadly wrote it off in the recent snow, it was a real sleeper and didn't half shift.  :twisted:

From what i've read the parts network is very strong as Saab didn't produce any of the components themselves so all or most parts should remain in production and be available for a long time.

i had a slighlty earlier 2.0 aero turbo for a daily, was really smooth and really enjoyed driving on the motorway.. and was very economical if i didn't get the turbo spinning up.. was very impressed but sold it as i missed vw's and got an old vr6 and it's costing a fortune at the pumps

Yes my brother in law told me. He said the mechanicals are generic GM, but saab had a habit of de-constructing and putting there own stamp on it. The internals are all steel, no cast and the inlet has been honed by high pressure water jets, so as to ensure high flow capability. No wonder they went bust,lol. Ours has a pretty trick set of 19" BBS LM's on it, just to give it a bit more visual. Your right though, it does shift and 390 bhp is easily attained if you wanted to go down that route. I can honestly say, i like it much more than the BM's ive previously owned, mainly due to its Q car appeal. Obviously the BM in the right spec is a great drivers car, but how many times a week are you actually driving on the limit? Jeez, im getting old, what next a labrador,lol.
