I'm changing jobs soon and need a car to fill a few months while I work out how many miles I'm doing in the new job, and if it's worth going into the company car scheme at this point. The stop gap car will be doing fairly long runs (55 miles to the office) plus will need to fill in for bike and child lugging duties.
I fancy a Saab. Don't know why but figured this is a good time to scratch the itch.
Two locally have caught my eye.
This I have been to see. Great condition, drives really nicely. But a cat C, they claim not to know what happened to it. No service history. Can get it for £1900.
Or this:
Haven't been to see it yet. Assume I could get a bit off that price. 2 years older. Fsh etc.
So - worth taking a risk on what could be a highly dodgy motor??
Nothing to say about reliability, but I think the 93 is a bit small for children + bikes.
Ah sorry didn't mean simultaneously!
I loved my 9-5, very comfy. I guess it depends how long you might keep it? The Cat C will definitely be harder to shift on if you need shot of it.
Top tip: You can't get the key out unless it's in reverse - caught a few people out that one...
I wouldn't bother with the Cat C.
It might be harder to insure, and if you're only keeping it a couple of months, then that will set alarm bells ringing for the next buyer.
A CAT C knackered old saab ought to be about £900 not £1900!!
You can get some nice cars for £2k these days.......
