Farewell to Saabs... 3 Saabers Like This Post! Posted by REM in Seattle [Email] (#4) [Profile/Gallery] (more from REM in Seattle) on Wed, 3 Jan 2024 22:09:43 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Our last Saab is gone.
In September, my wife's 2005 Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible 5-speed manual was side swiped by a semi tractor changing lanes. No one was injured. The entire driver's side sheet metal was damaged, and possibly the rear suspension. The insurance company (PEMCO) totaled the car and gave us full value (I double checked with Saabnet classifieds).
My wife was adamant that she wanted a new convertible with a manual transmission. That left very few choices.
After she did a few test drives, the answer is a 2024 MINI Cooper S Convertible with 6-speed manual transmission.
We ordered the car at the end of September, and it was delivered a couple days before Christmas.
The MINI may not be Swedish, but it was built in Born, Netherlands.
I am sorry to be leaving Saabnet, but I wish Scott and everyone else on the BB the best.
