i had one of these in 2008 when the ttid first came out, i did 64000 miles in two years. The only two issues i had were a valve fault in the engine which was rectified on later cars and an actuator problem in the turbo (which could happen to any car).
Other than the fact that it is poorly screwed together, i regret swapping it for an Audi A4, so much so, i swapped the Audi for a 93 carrlson, but ended up not being able to afford 26 mpg (at 30000 miles pa) so now have a 3.0d. Easily tunable, not sure if Hirsch are still going but BSR did a plug n play box taking the car to about 214 bhp. i found it comfortable and a car easy to drive with little hassle associated with the brand, unlike the Audi. If they were still in business I'd have another, probably the sport wagon in ttid form. |

Saab are very well recognised for their turbo cars, one of the first manufacturers to produce a car with a turbo
The 99 Turbo is perhaps one of the most iconic and infamous cars of the last few decades, and in my mind probably the best car that Saab ever produced. |

I know the new owner will love it for what it really is, instead of me always wanting it to be something better. |

Well i've been a bit busy this week, getting the car into shape now, did a few bits n pieces to it.
Think it looks a lot better now First of all, i de-chromed the car, the previous owner went a bit chrome crazy. Replaced the BBS centre caps with Saab ones Fitted a boot lip spoiler Then got my tints done, went to James at Carnology again, the only guy i'd ever go to, absolute top man and great at what he does. It was getting dark in the evening when i took these pics so its making the tints look darker, but they are more of a factory look, 20% instead of the 15% i went for on my BMW. Wont be doing much more to it, maybe some wheel spacers in the near future but im looking to keep it really tidy. |

Looks really well. I'd be seriously tempted to debadge the rear too. Or at least the Aero TTiD bit.
And when I had mine I always fancied one of those windscreen scrapers that fit it the secret bit/dummy handbrake part next to the passenger seat. Only ever came across ones for LHD though Last edited by rich1068; 11-10-2012 at 02:26 PM.. |
