2010 Saab 9-3 2.8 V6 Aero Carlsson Auto XWD

Description

So, I’ve been keeping this car for a few years now — it’s one of the last of the Carlsson 9-3s, only 96 made, and I’ve actually driven it every day for the last couple of years. It’s not flashy, but it’s solid — the kind of car you feel good about driving, even on a long stretch of tarmac.

It’s a 2010 Saab 9-3 2.8 V6 Aero with the Carlsson styling — the 19-inch alloys, ducktail spoiler, rear diffuser, and those bi-xenon cornering lights give it that sharp, sporty look. Inside, it’s premium leather with heated memory seats, carbon fibre trim, and a BOSE system with 11 speakers, Bluetooth, and sat-nav. The steering wheel’s got a new shape, and the seats are fully electric with memory settings — driver’s seat has 3-position memory, which I use all the time.

It’s got a turbocharged 2.8L engine — 276bhp — and a 6-speed auto with manual mode. I’ve had it serviced regularly, and the XWD Haldex system is fresh, just done a proper check. 34,000 miles on the clock, and it’s been with two previous owners. Full service history, all paperwork in order.

I’ve also got two keys, and it comes with a 12-month warranty — that’s not a big deal, but it’s something I’d expect from a car this rare.

I’m based in Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire, so if you’re local or can make it out, I’m happy to chat. I don’t advertise much online, but if you’re a Saab fan or just looking for a car that feels like it was made for you — this one’s a good fit.

It’s not cheap — I’m talking £17,995 — but it’s one of the last of its kind, and I’ve kept it well. If you’ve ever driven a Saab and felt that special connection, this one might just be worth a look.

No fancy marketing here — just a real person who’s been proud to own a car that’s not just a car, but a piece of a bygone era.
