  'New' SAAB 9-5 from October 5 Jul 2001 (News)
  It will feature an early appearance of General Motors new 3.0 litre 176bhp common rail turbodiesel V6 engine which puts out 258lb ft (350Nm) torque and if its fuel consumption and emissions are low enough will be a serious rival to Ford-Volvo's new D5 (see Volvo news item). SAAB lists 'chassis revisions to enhance driver control', which presumably means less of the severe understeer which was a characteristic of the old model.

  Free Glasses 1 Mar 2001 (News)
  Nor are the allowances necessarily the prices quoted in Glass's Guide or CAP, and certainly not the sort of prices at which cars can sometimes be bought at auction, but they are close enough to give the public a good and fair guide as to where they stand with a dealer. For example, Value My Car values a 98R Ford Mondeo 2.0iLX with 36,000 miles at £5,080 in excellent condition; £4,840 in average condition and £4,550 in poor condition. The March 2001 issue of Glasses Guide gives a trade value of £4,975 for the same car in good conditon with full service history.
