2006 Saab Aero - SOLD

Rare AERO Combi-Wagon 2006 Petrol Automatic, 117,900 miles Imported from UK in late 2012 (original reg. DY56DGV) Road Tax €710 Taxed to end of July 2026 1,500 miles since NCT More pictures added 17th Feb New ECU, specialist mapped in the UK from 210HP to 250HP -according to the previous owner. The engine runs smoothly and is quiet. Gear changes are slick and largely imperceptible. Steering is easy yet positive. The AERO has been mechanically tidied and sorted over the last 12 months by SAAB Wisdom, Bray. That work includes:- Post-purchase examination and appraisal Two routine services New a/c radiator and condenser New brake servo New front wheel bearings New front brake pads New NS steering gaiter (OS steering gaiter inspected and OK) Replacement s/h body control module Replacement s/hand rear wiper motor Pair of new Griffin seatback covers Other points:- New coolant radiator and longlife spark plugs by the previous Irish owner. There are footwell lights and door lights. The heater is excellent and the glovebox cooling is a boon. The battery is good. There's a pair of new Pirellis on the front. The rear tyres have sufficient tread (but note age advisory in NCT). Next month the SID (SAAB Information Display) is due to be replaced and the inactive cruise control examined. SAAB Wisdom has identified no other outstanding mechanical or structural work. Overall, these incidental/cosmetic items remain:- The original “fusion blue metallic” paint can be scrubbed-up to look well enough but there are paint chips and a very poor area of touching-up on the lower panel of the NS front door where there had been a large "go-faster" SAAB sticker. The plastic casings of the wing mirrors are discoloured. There are no roof rails on the car. The interior is good apart from a tear in the NSR door card (see pic) and a tiny tear in the OSR door card. If I was keeping the SAAB, I'd replace the driver's seat cushion (aged but not torn) and have the NSF door re-sprayed. Last year I made two fast journeys across the UK without a murmur from the car. This SAAB AERO is comfortable, quiet and exceptionally quick. Its a pleasure to drive. No swaps, but offers from €2,000 are invited.
