SAAB 9-3 (2002-07) 2DR CONVERTIBLE 1.8T VECTOR AUTO is a four-seat, two-door open-top car, an individual alternative to family hatchbacks and compact executive saloons. In the UK used market, it suits drivers seeking a weekend cruiser with a premium feel, rather than the space and economy of a family car. mycarcheck.com has recorded 649 look-ups covering 304 different VINs, a sample that gives a useful snapshot of interest. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £1,300 and average recorded mileage of 97,000 miles. Cars average 3,000 miles a year and just over four previous keepers, suggesting light recent use but a history worth checking carefully. Its turbocharged petrol engine and automatic gearbox make relaxed, sunny-day cruising easy, while the Vector trim and folding roof give it distinctive appeal against rivals such as Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series convertibles. It is also best for couples or small households who value character and open-air motoring over low running costs.
