It was an okay deal. The mileage and condition of the car were good, but it wasn't a bargain.

Is there any special reason why you bought this car?

I like Saabs.

What was the dealer like?

Challenging when I tried to negotiate the price. I felt like some unpleasant 'car salesman' behaviour was being used. But fine and professional since then.

What's it like to drive?

Very comfortable. Great lumbar support. Lovely on long journeys.

Fine to park.

General interior is nice.
