Stick to the Saab lol i have Saab 9-3 1.9tid estate, only 120 bhp one but goes really well! Im still thinking about getting another e30 as second car but like you are finding, good ones are few and far between!
I have a 04 Saab vector it's been a good car I have had it around 4 years but I want a change I want a e30 always loved them should have just bought one instead of my Saab lol

I wouldnt mind a 2.0T petrol

You can get saabs for next to nothing now, excellent value for money, if they go wrong bin it and buy another, seen a lovely 54 plate saab 2.0t in red with cream leather on ebay for £999 last week

That's the problem mate there worth nothing to be honest I was offered £1200 on a px the other week but I can imagine them going for that sort of price £1000 I tend not to look and depress myself haha. Mine is silver with the half leather seats.
Like you say a lot of car for very little money......

Nowt special its done 129kAndroo wrote:I prefer your trim to mine for sure I don't have any pictures of mine I'm afraid there all on the laptop yours looks very well looked after bud
Had a cloth interior when i bought it, i fitted the interior from a 60k crash damaged 07 plate car, cost me £140 for the whole lot, picked it up from a Saab breaker in Leeds. ive got the silver buttons for the steering wheel too but i cannot be bothered to remove the airbag.
I really fancy a 2.0 turbo mind, ive got a 325i here

That's exactly it there different I love the looks and I don't honestly think they look old either there is just something about them!!!
Hope our lass doesn't read this about fuel consumption haha and there's me thinking bmw it will ride great!!!!

they ride fine when they were new but most are all on 25 year old suspension with fooked rear beam bushes etc, after getting into the e30 the other day after driving the saab i forgot how awfull the steering is having 4 turns to lock, however you can fit a z3 rack or e46 rack which i think i'am going to do if i keep itAndroo wrote:That's exactly it there different I love the looks and I don't honestly think they look old either there is just something about them!!!

the 325i is going for an mot on friday, one in my sig below.
If you buy a decent 9-3 the dash doesn't look as plasticy as its fuller

Thats the very reason why i want another 325, i dont care about the doors or poverty spec. I just want the sound and a huge smile on my face again. Good luck with your search AndrooAlex wrote:Ive got 3 cars, drove it today and i'am undecided now, it put a big grin on my face
