2007 Saab 9-3 Vector

2007 (57) Facelift Saab 9-3 Convertible - 1. 8t Petrol - Vector Anniversary Edition - MOT June 2025 + 4 Brand New Tyres!

This 2007 Saab 9-3 Convertible is fast becoming a modern-day classic! The car features the 2. 0 litre turbocharged petrol engine with manual 5-speed gearbox - I had the engine remapped, so it has a bit more oomph than the standard 1. 8T setup - it now has the power of a 2. 0T (it is the same engine in both cars, the 1. 8T is just de-tuned). The exterior is finished in a stunning blue metallic paint, which is in really lovely condition, with only a couple of minor cosmetic marks. It's just had a full gold valet, with the roof having had an extensive clean, the carpets have been shampooed, and the leather seats cleaned and conditioned - I also bought a new set of mats for it. The car is really low mileage at only 88, 560 miles, and has many more mile of driving pleasure to go!

The interior is in excellent order, and finished with black leather sports seats - I've recently had the leather on the driver's seat bolster replaced, and a new heated seat element fitted. The car also has electric windows all round, climate control, and an AM/ FM stereo with CD player. The electric roof works exactly as it should, folding up or down in no time - summer is on the way, perfect timing to switch to a convertible and catch some sun!

The car has a service book full of stamps, and a pile of paperwork showing the comprehensive service history and work completed on the vehicle. The car is MOT'd until June 2025, and has 4 brand new matching tyres. It also has all the original handbooks, service books and folder. I also recently bought and had programmed in an original OEM fob key at a cost of £200.

All in all, this is a really lovely example of this face-lift model 9-3 convertible, with a reliable and powerful petrol engine (timing chain on this engine, not a belt), which has been really well-maintained and cared for by myself, and the previous owners. I will be really sad to see it go, but work and family commitments meant I needed something more practical! As mentioned above, it's all clean, shiny, and ready to go and enjoy the summer sunshine in style! I will also throw in a cover for the car if you need it. Why have a run-of-the-mill convertible, when you can stand out in this iconic Saab!!This is a great looking car, finished in beautiful metallic blue, and in all round excellent condition inside and out. Low mileage, and with a pile of paperwork and original service book, it has been well cared for. Reliable petrol engine with timing chain, no cam belt to worry about! This is a stand-out 9-3, and I'll be really sad to see it go!
