I think that Saab is a good deal. If one was looking for a sporty used car and was checking out VW GTI's of the same era, asking price on a decent condition late model '08-'09 Mk 5 GTI is around the same price as that Saab. For the same price as a pretty common FWD car with an I4 200hp engine, one can get that rare edition Saab with AWD and a 280 hp V6. If I was in the the market right now, I'd be all over that Saab instead of a similar era GTI.

What does European chassis supposed to mean? It doesn't appear to be a Euro spec engine

I’m curious as well. Is that an OEM Color offered in Canada? I’ve never seen it before.

bcrdukes 07-17-2021 09:12 AM

It's possible this was imported from overseas and not a North American car. I'm sure the resident E36 M3 guys will chime in. They'd probably even know which chassis number it is. :troll:

The Producer 07-17-2021 09:45 AM

the car has history for sure. Westopher can lay it out. I can't quite follow it, as there is another local car very similar to this one.

suffice to say that i'm 99.9% sure it isn't an actual M3 if that matters to you (it shouldn't really - but it speaks to the seller for advertising it w such poor details)

RevYouUp 07-17-2021 09:52 AM

Thanks! I’ll just take a look and go from there.

The guy told me more, said he owned the car about 18 years or so, nothing about it being a swap. Apparently he’s being bombarded with messages and I’m the first guy to message haha

Doesn't appear to have the Toyota truck tax attached to it?

Wouldn't say that's a good price. Seen them go for 6k a year or two ago.

twitchyzero 07-18-2021 07:37 AM

6k gets you a beater these day
i'd say that's pretty decent price on the gx if you own a fuel station

If all of those services were needed at under 30K.... :rukidding:

The Producer 07-18-2021 06:10 PM

2 pedal never really a good deal. only place for DSG is coupled to the late TDI's. It really suits it.

What does it have for actual milage? 256k on the motor I believe, but it's for sure not the original motor. If you want PM me the VIN and I can run it through the decoder and see what the deal is.
