Subject: Re: Should I trade 95 9000CS for 98 9000LPT Automatic


i'd keep the 5-spd. i've never had an automatic, so i couldn't say how a saab auto would feel, but i'd guess you'd miss the control. i'd also guess that the automatic would take away some of the experience of the increased power. i'm looking for a 1995 Aero myself.... also, unless you do a lot of distance driving, how annoying, really, is the more frequent fill-up? on the other hand, maybe 1500 will buy you an extra year of saabing! that seems like a good deal... abdallah "Nel Frikandel" <nelfrikandelnopsamail.com> wrote in message news:1hu17vgggsfoqss5qhb0t9hhtfgnt6chejnopsamcom... : Hi, : : Some doubt entered my mind. I'm fairly content with my 9000CS 2.0i : 5-manual from 1995 with 257.000Km on it, apart from some ongoing but : not lifethreatening disturbance with my LPG system/Check engine : lights, and the annoyance of a 40 liter LPG tank, so only 250-300Kms : radius on a full tank-a-gas. AND I would enjoy some more power... : For the rest it's a great car, which has never disappointed me. : : I saw a decent looking 96 9000 CSE LPT automatic, (with 65 liter LPG), : with 217.000 on it, also black, that I could get for only about 1500Ä : trading in my old one at a local (non SAAB) dealership. : : So the competitor is a year younger, LPT, automatic (which I don't : prefer), 40k less Km's, and a bigger and better LPG reach. Mine has : the round 40liter tank in the spare wheel compartment, leaving the : spare wondering around. The other one has a 65 liter cilinder, mounted : behind the back seat above the rear wheels. : : Mine is a "burgundy" edition, a package (maybe just for the dutch : market) black paint, leather interior, AC, Cruise, wood-look dash & : doors, five spoke wheels (that I really like), front arm-rest. : http://www.autototaal.nl/owa_dima/owa/occlist.details?v_id=617540 : (just a look alike, same year, same color, same package, same wheels) : : The other one is a plain CSE or an "Anniversary", has the same : leather, hoewever no wood print, but AC and cruise, and different (IMO : not so nice) alloy wheels , no front center arm rest. Looks like this : one. Also black : http://www.autototaal.nl/owa_dima/owa/occlist.details?v_id=305032&v_called_b y=ATT : : Some other key figures: : Mine Other : Power: 130HP 150HP : Torque: 177 Nm/4300tpm 215 Nm/2500tpm : top speed: 200 km/h vs 210 km/h : acc 0-100 11,5 s 11,0 s : Consumtion: 10,5 l/100km 11,2 l/100km : : I'm tempted, but hesitating. Mine had never let me down really, : however is not so fast. The service records are present. The other is : in a non brand dealership, specializing on rather nice cars. I guess : it was traded in for an A8 or BMW7. However it's been there for a : while, I saw it already in december. Possible risk.. But sharp price : : I could trade it, and have the wheels exchanged. Its it possible to : remove the center armrest from mine into the other one? : : Maybe I should save my money, and try to get an ex-company car 9-5SE : on gas from 98 or 99... in a year or two. : : Any thoughts...? : : Rgds, : Nel
