So ... any suggestions. It's not going to be a Jag and therefore I'm looking at a Nissan/Toyota/Saab barge to last about 12 months until the salary boost comes in (we've been promised, but we've been promised since 2005), so 12 months ticket is probably a must. And no, the Rover won't last. I would say, the best spec Saab 9000 2.3 turbo you can find. |
aero for both but it might be a bit neglected for the money you have.
A 2.3 full pressure turbo 9000CDE should fall right in your budget.
If the idea of a Krusty old LPG Rangie Rover doesn't happen, a 9000 is a
maybe.

Particularly since it used to be owned by a Chief Constable - who spared no
expense.
I'll look into a Saab - either a CD or CS.

How about a Volvo 850, they are cheap enough and FWD, or 960 if you want
RWD?

Thanks - I used to have a Saab 99 ( NVN 99M ) which was interesting. Particularly since it used to be owned by a Chief Constable - who spared no expense. I'll look into a Saab - either a CD or CS.

Fantastic cars, especially for the money they cost nowadays.
Ours is shortly to gain a Jak Stoll ECU and an intercooler. All the stuff is
here, so it's just a matter of fitting it.
Goes reasonably with 150bhp, so let's see how it goes with 250bhp.
