'06 plate is 1st march 2006 onwards IIRC.

It's not going to be cheap.  :(

www.direct.gov.uk/.../HowToTaxYourVehicle/DG_10012524 

Depends on model-assuming you mean 2.0t if its a 9-3 and not a 9-5.
If it's registered before 23rd March 06, you're ok-max tax £215 this year as capped to band K.

Nice cars and very quick-watch it if you hit a pothole in the middle of a fast bend though-you'll be thrown off course.
Look on tax disc for current band/price  :y

That 2.8 V6 asymmetric turbo engine is a rather nice lump

Home now, been having a blast round 70mph in second not bad, the way it accelerates from 40-100 in 3rd is amazing  :o Drinks a bit of fuel after a heavy right footed session though. Wish it was RWD but the power more than makes up for it just loading the pics now  :y

same lump the old bill use around here - only they dump a 2nd turbo on for good luck...  ...rapid in a straight line, but veccy-c chassis is rubbish.  Not sure what saab have done to chassis though...

Feels stiff in the corners, but you really can't take a corner fast, feels better than the veccy C I drove though albeit it was a 1.9 CDTi. Wish I could've got the AWD version but this was here and it's lovely  :y
