Selling for a Friend

This is not something I’d normally do, selling cars for friends, but these two Saabs are such great opportunities, I couldn’t resist sharing them. They’re both cars I’ve been offered recently and to be very honest, highly tempted to have myself, but space and a patient wife can only be pushed so far.

2007 Saab 9-5 Aero

A beautifully cared for and cherished genuine Aero which is very much factory standard, with exceptionally clean bodywork finished in solid Black.

Originally purchased from Gordon Lamb Saab, Chesterfield in 2007 and kept by its first owner until he sadly died in 2023. The Aero has been carefully maintained by Saab and then later by a Saab specialist in Sheffield, over the past year, it’s had a few small mechanical jobs taken care of, and is now ready for a new owner.

It will now have 2 previous owners, all owner’s manuals, a good service history and 1 key, the Aero interior is in very clean condition as is the bodywork, but could do with a good weekend spent on it, a machine polish and coating.

Not only is it a very low owner Saab, but has only covered 71,000 miles, making it a genuinely rare Aero. The price is also very appealing, just £4000.

2011 Saab 9-5 Turbo4

This one’s slightly more unusual, and a little more complex, the car originally came to the UK as an import from Singapore, but has been thoroughly used and enjoyed over the past 12 months having covered 26,000 miles, 51,000 overall.

In a stunning Granite Grey Metallic with Parchment Comfort Leather, this Turbo4 comes with some wonderful options, not only does it benefit from the rare DriveSense adaptive suspension, Pilot Head-Up Display and Advanced Park Assist, but it’s  further enhanced with genuine Hirsch front and rear bumpers, exhaust tips and rear boot lip, together with upgraded 345mm front drilled brakes and Force six pot calibers sitting behind the gorgeous 10 spook Edge Silver, 19’ alloys.

Just a few of the nicer specified options listed here :

Full leather interior with Comfort seats in Parchment Granite Grey Metallic 
10 spoke Edge Silver, 19” x 8.5” alloys
Sentronic 6 speed auto gearbox
U-rail Cargo track with management system 
Saab Infotainment CD with MP3
Pilot Head-Up Display
DriveSense Suspension System ( Comfort / Intelligent / Sport Settings)
Advanced Park Assist
Automatic high / low beam

It arrived in the UK without much history or paperwork, but has all import certificates and has also been carefully maintained for the past year. A highly desirable Saab and again, one I’d have loved to give a home to. It has a few small cosmetic areas that require attention, the alloys need a refurb, the front bumper could do with a respray and theres’s some slight blistering on the dashboard and steering wheel, but overall, a very exciting opportunity to own a rare Saab.

Neither of these Saabs are mine, I haven’t seen them myself and none of the pictures are mine either. However, I get numerous Saabs offered to me and these 2 stood out as being rather too good to not share. If anyone is interested, I’ll happily put you in touch with their owners and you can take the negotiations from there - I’ll only ask for a small commission, a bottle of wine maybe!
