SAAB 9-3 (1998-03) 3DR COUPE 2.0T SE LPT AUTO

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The SAAB 9-3 (1998-03) 3DR COUPE 2.0T SE LPT AUTO is a distinctive three-door compact hatchback with coupé-like styling, sitting in the more individual end of the UK used-car market. Its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine and automatic gearbox give it a relaxed, brisk character, while SE trim brings a more comfortable, well-equipped feel. Mycarcheck.com records 53 look-ups, but these cover just three distinct VINs, so treat the figures as a small snapshot rather than a broad market average. Across those records, average private-sale value was £400, average recorded mileage 47,000 miles, annual mileage 3,000 miles and previous keepers about 2.3. This Saab suits drivers wanting a comfortable, characterful commuter or weekend car, rather than the family practicality or lowest running costs; the three-door body is less convenient for rear passengers. Against rivals such as the Volkswagen Golf, it feels rarer and more individual, with turbo pace and a cabin as its calling cards.
