- Another Saab from Geoff Buys Cars!
Geoff Buys Cars is an automotive adventure through old cars. I buy cars to review for RUclips, then sell them on. Sometimes I make a profit and document the journey, sometimes I give them away in £10 ‘Geoff Specials’. It started with a canoe and it’s taken every possible diversion, but i’ll get to that Porsche eventually… Right now I’m just enjoying all these old cars, it’s gotten to be a bit like Pokemon. Gotta catch ‘em all! Seen a potential Geoff car? Get in touch, I’ll buy it.

Best advice I’ve heard on RUclips.
thanks so much! taken as a compliment!
I used to buy and sell so many of these Saab 9-5 wagons but i only had 2 Aero’s i loved these to death, i really miss Saab i was so sad when the company went under because it was truly the last car company that cared most about reliability and safety.
I got one for 500 a guy took it as a trade in went to start it and put it I n drive got a massive clunk mustv freaked him out thinking gearbox fucked
Was the mount
Was a very very nice one aswell
Great video cos it was true and funny. These are ridiculously good cars. Just bought an ‘03 95 Aero HOT wagon 250bhp. It’s powerful, fast and smooth. With a set of Thule Aero roof bars just fitted I am all happy and it’s a superbly useful vehicle go anywhere
I watched this video earlier. Tomorrow im buying a 03' 9-5 wagon. Thanks brother!
I’ve just bought my 3rd Saab this is my second aero and this one is a 2.3 9-5 automatic turbo aero petrol and loving it’s performance
The Last of the Real Saab's !
What an interior & the comfiest seats at the time !
Gorgeous motor & Great Video Geoff
Definitely the comfiest seats
A SID unit without any missing pixels! The most crucial thing with these 9-5 aeros is decent tyres. I loused up the perfect handling in mine with a couple of part worns. The other issue I had was with Saabs legendary GM parts bin rummaging. There are 3 possible different brake discs for 2000 year aero's! Still have 1 incorrect set in the shed. Btw, I once managed 130mph in my old 9000. 2.3 turbo, non aero.
Lovely. Had one same colour for 10 years . Saab 9-5 vector estate. Well over 200.000 miles. Was indeed superb and comfortable to drive .😊👍
MY 2004 2.3T LINEAR WAGON ~ 185hp, IS PRETTY DARN QUICK. SHOCKS EVERYONE WHO HAVE RIDDEN IN IT
i just bought a 93 aero hot anniversary edition 2007 with 110 k miles for 500 quid if you would like to do a video on an accidental bargain
Got a 185hp hot turbo, converted to lpg.
Cheap to run, cheap on fuel, loads of space. Whats not to like.
totally, these are ace cars. i kinda wish i'd kept it.
Loved my Saab 9-5 aero HOT, Herschel tuned to 290bhp from new, drove so well, and always got there feeling refreshed. Mine was the 2004 facelift.
No not the dame Edna front end 😂
I bloody enjoyed this video - good job old sport
thanks so much!
One of my favorite cars still want one if the price is reasonable 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Love Saabs my late Dad had 2
This is a 2001 model year car. That paint code is called steel grey metallic and was not available pre 2001. Also it has smoke coloured side indicators and a shark fin antenna which was also introduced for the model year 2001. 1999 and 2000 models have orange side indicators and no shark fin. ;)
I love Saabs and dirt cheap to insure for me as a 17-turning 18 had one before but looking to get one again in aug ish time but the 2.3t none aero spec as they over my budget for car and insurance price
the 2.0 turbo is a great car too :-)
Nice
i have one, lowerd with bbs wheels 3"exhaust 846cc injectors 340L e85 pump 19t do88 ic watercooler and all the hoses 04 aero interior, manual and 370hp and a fully forged engine. powerflexbushes it is a true super aero.
youch that must be amazing,
I have a Saab 9-5 Estate automatic with 240 HP. Yes, it is fun and fast, but thirsty, and it wants to go faster than the speed limit, so I have to be careful to avoid speed tickets. Pity Saab does not make their own cars anymore. I think they could make a comeback with smart management. A big mistake to go to GM when they could have teamed up with Koenigsegg, and then we could have got a super, super Saab on par with the best of the best! Imagine a "multi-fuel" version of a new Saab! Maybe with one engine in each wheel....
The Koenigsegg deal was after GM and got blocked by the Swedish government, it wasn't Saabs fault.
@@SgfGustafsson OK! But surely Saab could have tried to cooperate with other companies than GM!
A re map helps with mpg
@@joe2munro338 It was tuned from 170 HP to 240, and the suspension lowered with 2 cm. It drank as much fuel at 170 HP as with 240 HP unless I use the S button for Sport!
GM saved Saab in the early 90s. There would be no 9-5, and probably no Saab past 1995 without GM's support.
Excellent. My late father’s 1999 9-5 2.0t broke down at the weekend and I fear the timing chain tensioner is the cause so the engine is probably toast, which I’m very upset about. Should get a verdict from the garage in the next few days. If it is this is exactly the car I’ll be looking to replace it with. I want to find one around this price tag but not too sure how to go about it as I live in France. If I can find one I’ll be onto the Eurostar pronto!
Great video, love a Saab! I can’t understand why they’re still so cheap but it can’t possibly stay that way for long. If you come across another one let me know !!
BTW subscribed !
You find one, I’ll buy it, pay my costs, I’ll deliver it, you buy croissants and coffee in France, job done!
Just change engine, its easy and cheap
@@Jonjs99 engine change would have been too complex a job for me I’m afraid. In the end I found a 2004 Aero estate to replace it. Lovely condition £1150. By the time I had it remapped to 265hp and E85, driven it back to France, paid customs,VAT (bloody Brexit) and got it registered it’s cost me about £2000. Worth every penny. Love it.
You're not that boring 😛😂 . If I ever get rid of my 2.2TiD 95 Estate, I'd have a HOT.
Thus car is currently for sale on auto trader!
Nice!! Sub'd
I have a Saab 9-5 3l v6 i really love it.. But looking for a aero now as well.. But they have mentally high miles on it in my country
What do you consider mentally high mileage?
Hihi. You said I should buy one. So I did 😊
Sits in a Saab 9-5.. states " I got a lot of wood!" I know how you feel :)
I'm looking to buy one right now. Just torn.... v70t5 or 9-5 2.3T ????? Best sleeper estates going!!!
9-5.
Which one did you get. The Saab is more unique.
Had both the saabs more of a driver's car
I ran a 9-5 courtesy car for 5 miles on zero DTE. Talk about squeaky bum...
119K on an X plate....? Just run in...
Great job, Kramer!
It dossnt quite sound rite
Gilbert call me
So cheap over there very dear here in Australia
I prefer the 9-3 HOT.
@@somervillearron it was a real SAAB. The 2001 that I had was on par with the aero for speed and comfort. The sport wagon was in my opinion the ugliest model.
@@terrywilkins5266 sorry man I agree I thought u where on about the newer ones
@@terrywilkins5266 although the 95 estate was a nice looking car in the correct spec
Grey post facelift gen1
Aero kit
@@somervillearron that's okay mate. I also wish they were still in business, I miss my last SAAB.
