1996 SAAB 9000 CSE 2.3 FULL PRESSURE TURBO 200 BHP AUTO 91OOO Miles - 19 Saab Dealer Service Stamps Glass sunroof- Heated Seats -CD Incredible Original Survivor N820 GEV Registered and delivered on 26th April 1996 by Saab Continental cars to a Mr Nicholson of Bishops Stortford who owned the car the first few years and then sold on to a family member who has owned it since. Driven nearly all its days by an elderly Lady the vehicle did change hands from her husband to her as a paper exercise upon his demise. What sets this car apart is the condition and the fact it has never been serviced by anyone other than the official Saab dealer, a total of 20 service stamps are present in the service booklet. I deal with older cars every day and find the commitment to the servicing rather unique. Wearing its genuine factory paint it has never been bumped or had anything changed from factory spec. Both keys with both remotes, owners wallet with all handbooks a and even the original Saab 9000 sales brochure. The car was kept garaged, never smoked in and not had any abuse, this has preserved it remarkably well. The Lady had a contract with a detailing company who visited here once a month to clean and polish her car. In March this year due to illness she accepted that she could no longer keep driving and offered it to the valeter who had always admired it, having a classic of his own he was conflicted however could not pass it on, hence the V5 does now show 3 previous owners.

Classic cars come and go but the appeal of some remains constant and none more so than the 9000 - the last real Saab say some of the marque's cognoscenti. Owning a late model Saab 9000 is an easy way to being different and this modern classic is one that anyone would be deeply proud to be the next custodian, its ready to be used and enjoyed and stored with sympathy. Body As unmarked as it is remarkable. It has a commanding presence in the flesh. The paint retains a deep glossy shine and is in superb condition all around and looking to be factory original. On close inspection there are no negatives to be found with only a few discreet blemishes . All of the panels are nice and straight, lining up as they should. Literally presents like a far younger vehicle with a true depth to paint, currently detailed to a very high standard with all the lines angles and quirks of the 9000 surely looking their best in Silver metallic. Cabin The interior of the 9000 is awash with period leather, the perfect contrast to the exterior paintwork. The chairs remain virtual as new, and supportive in a way seats will never be again. The rear seats look unused and the headlining is perfect. The A1 condition continues to the door cards, along the bottoms of the doors, the door shuts and A and B posts, along the dashboard, and all the rubbers none of which shows signs of age or damage. The centre console is the same, with no wear to any buttons or knobs. The carpets throughout remain clean and tidy and unspoiled. Whal. The wood is in first class condition also. Engine The engine bay presents remarkably well and is consistent with a car having done little mileage. Having been well maintained. Unsurprisingly the auto transmission shifts through the gears with ease and there are no shortcomings with anything, its an utter joy. Driving the car today one is reminded of just how well engineered they truly were, it fast, comfortable and silent, this 9000 will take you anywhere in style. You may find many cheaper 9000 models however I doubt another one with such original condition and unspoiled service record exists. A special car....
