This would be to potentially replace the Mig, and the SAAB is diesel............ :P :P :P

The Jeep uses less fuel than my 2.2 Mig, or rather, more or less the same spent on fuel each week..... :D :D :D

They drive lovely, they have excellent seats (8 hour journey in mine once and I didn't get one ache at all), they look good, 1.9 TiD is a good engine, and powerful if it's the 150 bhp variant. Honestly couldn't criticise my 93 in anyway when I had it :y

No decent Migs for sale at the moment, typical, she loves her Mig and would rather keep hers but it is going to need a good going over, so thinking the time has come to replace :( :( as for it's year it is in great condition......no final decision and she has just told me in no uncertain terms that she is NOT driving or running the Jeep, she feels that she will roll it on her first corner..... ::) ::) :-X

Yes, combined better on paper and in practice.....
2.2 Omega Combined 28 MPG Jeep Combined 29.1 MPG source of figures is Auto Trader............I put in about the same in money in the Jeep as I did the Omega on a weekly basis..... :)
Same source suggests the 2.2 Omega is 0.7 seconds quicker 0 - 62 MPG......I can live with that..... :D :D :D

make sure the dual mass flywheel not rattling as if it is it takes the crank sensor out in end, also make sure the service history is good as saabs suffer oil strainer blocking, first you know is when your sat on side motorway with a seized bottom end, ive rebuilt two of the dammed things now, just food for thought
-
Alternators fail regularly, usually around 70k (About £250+), intake manifold swirl flaps fail needing a new manifold (£250+), EGR block and fail (£100, although best blanked off and remapped), seen some with injector wiring loom suffering bad connections and injector faults. Apart from that quite good, be religious on cambelt and water pump changes although if it does fail only breaks the rockers usually.

Swirl flaps are fine as of around 2006/7 (modified inlet).
EGR is an annual service job and blanking off means they take an age to warm up and so buggers the economy a bit.

I've always had a hankering for one. The 9-3 looks good and estates more so.
Is the 1.9 diesel the same as in the last vectras?
With their demise, not sure I'd want to now.
How long does it take for supply of parts to evaporate?

SAAB parts won't evaporate for a good while yet, SAAB parts hasn't gone bust, SAAB Automobile has.

Lol, dont kid yourself.
Was trying to locate an inlet pipe for one with the 2.8 turbo engine and it was not available anywhere.
Ended up getting a chavvy silicon one made.
