Local dealer happy to smile

August 22, 2011 in News, Uncategorized

My local Saab dealer, Astley Saab of Yeovil, (www.astleysaab.co.uk/) is happy to report that things are not looking too bad at the moment. They are diversifying their ways and they are also managing to sell “Brand New Saab’s”.

Some of you know that in the UK the registrations change twice a year and on the 1st September the “61″ plate will be seen on the roads.
Jerry Peck and his staff have five new 61 plated Saab’s waiting to drive onto the roads of Yeovil for the first time.

It is always great to hear good news and that people still beleive in Saab and are happy to sign up for a new one. Read the rest of this entry →

Another 9-3 (Griffin) living in the UK.

August 13, 2011 in News

After my spotting of a 2012 9-3 SS in the UK yesterday came an email from TonymacUK who is the proud owner of an SE Wagon.

The car is an SE 160 with Parchment leather, with powered seats and Satnav as options. With hindsight wish I`d not bothered with the Satnav (way overpriced, even though I got 10% off) and spent that money on the 180 with seat and leather upgrade. But nevertheless very happy, drives beautifully, looks good!

Cheers,

Tony

Saab 9-3 TTiD MY11 - with Hirsch interior

TimR’s post yesterday stirred up emotions and reactions, which I think is very good that we have the possibility to discuss here at SU together. One reaction came through an e-mail from Paul, who also sent us this photo to the right of his MY11 9-3 TTiD that just has been on a date with Hirsch, which resulted in this nice interior.

This is what Paul wrote: “When people see Saabs, or have a drive in them, they become totally enamoured, this one is no exception. I picked it up yesterday, and out of the 6 previous Saabs i’ve owned, this is by far the best.

Saab of the Week: Grrrriffin

July 18, 2011 in Sotw

This is the first time a customer 9-3 Griffin hosts as Saab of the Week here at SaabsUnited! This weeks story comes from Joakim Persson, Lövstabruk in Sweden:

The car is 9-3 SportCombi Griffin TTiD4 (180 hp) in Oak Brown that I got as a company car. I picked it up at Svenska Bil in Segeltorp, Stockholm on July 1st. I have driven about 800 km so far and I must say I couldn’t be more pleased with the car.  I actually bought it based solely on the pictures in the press release and a fair bit of hearsay. I hadn’t even driven the TTiD before…

I have always wanted a 9-3SC and now I took the chance when it appeared.

I would like to include a big thanks to Johan Hägglöf at Svenska Bil, who stayed after closing time on a Friday so I could pick up my car after being stuck in a traffic jam through Stockholm the entire afternoon. It took me 2½ hours to move roughly 20 km…

A story about Saab Infotainme​nt system and a trip to Madrid

April 10, 2011 in Saabology

Some of us love the Sat Navs in ours cars and some don’t but here is a little story from Lars Peterssson and his trip to Madrid.

This is a story about Saab Infotainment system and a trip to Madrid.

My Saab 9-3 has an infotainment system and with that follows a built in lady. This lady seems to be well educated since she speaks many languages. So far she has helped me to translate Danish, German, French and Spanish messages to plain Swedish when I have travelled.  She also helps me to keep my hands on the steering wheel when I want to change radio channel, CD and so on so I am very fond of her.

Please take the jump.
