After a preliminary status check at a garage not from my office, and the stress of getting the money together we have finally bought the car we thought best suited my wife, myself and our future plans: The 2011 9-3 Aero SportCombi TTIDS!
The car has 118.000 km-s on board, it was manufactured in December 2010. Apart from a few very minor scratches it is in top condition. The interior has a few flaws, like the broken cup holder and a little fading in the leather of the driver seat.
The guys at saabszerviz.hu have been really helpful and I am thankful for them. We have found a list of problems that have to be attended. A worn stabilizer link, a small leak at the crankshaft seal and a common fault on 9-3s: power loss on the main circuit.
I will give sometime for the crankshaft seal and see how bad it is. The oil loss is not appreciable, so I might wait until the Dual Mass Flywheel breaks and the gearbox has to be taken down (it is a manual 6). The stabilizer link and the power cabling is being fixed right now. Hopefully it will be ready for a first long drive in the weekend.
