  • Daewoo prices 12 Nov 2001 (Forum)
    Who'd buy a car straight from Daewoo when it can be bought so much cheaper elsewhere. Also it must have a horrific effect on used values of 1-2 year old Daewoos... Can the Joe Public Esq. buy these cars direct from the importers at these ridiculously low prices?
  • mmm multipla jtd - injector 18 Jul 2001 (Forum)
    After looking around for many months for a mpv to transport 4 kids & kaboodle i've just bought a 9 month old jtd105 and am very pleased - great to drive, park, cruise, and incredibly practical and frugal. One small problem - the injector warning light illuminates intermittently and the manual states that the car should only be driven under low revs and for shor distances with the light on. - Stopping the car and restarting seems to cure the problem and when I return the car to the garage next week it is 100% certain that the problem will not arise and therefore not come up on the diagnostics.

  • Salvage Value of (Cat C?) Car 24 Jan 2017 (Forum)
    A friend’s car is over ten years old. His car has been written off as it needs two new n/s doors after someone drove out of a side road without stopping. The other driver, and his insurance company, have accepted liability.
  • (my) Autotrader gems 25 Aug 2022 (Forum)
    The Minilight style wheels and old school 'spots' set it off nicely!. Don't think you are losing out on too much practicality going for the saloon either, the rear seats fold completely flat on all classic shape 900's.

  • SAAB - SAAB 93, good opportunity or bad idea? 4 Jun 2009 (Forum)
    I have a new chap going to join our company soon. When it comes to company cars we tend to buy nearly new / 1 year old to miss out on the worst depreciation and get a nicer car for the guy sat in it for the next 100k miles plus. Looking at 'the usual suspects' of cars such as Mondeo's, I have noticed that only one of the three main car supermarkets (Motorpoint) I normally look at have any 08/58 plate Mondeos, (Trade Sales and Car Giant are the others, our company is in the South East), but there are a lot of SAAB 93's.
