THE STIFFMEISTER 16,112 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Renault Laguna estate was the worst , cost 650 to run and buy, thousands on first mot so threw it away lol Best was an Audi A4 tdi, bought it for 1750 from a lad emigrating , put 85000 onto it over 6 years to nearly 200, 000 and traded it in for 4 g Never spent a nut on it other than a bit of oil and 1 set of pirrelli tyres in all that time Bombproof Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Greyman 28,798 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 This is the same as my old 99 turbo . I have the next model up, 1990 900 aero turbo, one of the last real saabs made in Sweden, it's wrapped up in quilts in my garage, and Will not be sold anytime soon, even by today's standards it is still the best all round motor I have ever driven, massive boot space, built like a tank, fast as feck, comfortable as my armchair at home, handles like a go cart and still gives around 30mpg if you can resist the urge to keep hitting the fun peddle, one of the best engineered motors ever made imho 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 30,259 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 With Dagenham Fords up the road all our early cars were Escorts/Cortinas/Capris.......i liked the Rs Escorts but couldnt afford one as a teenager so ended up with a crappy 1600 sport which was a micky mouse version of a Rs.... everything went wrong with it but i persisted in throwing money at it until the gearbox fell out coming out the Blackwall Tunnel and i just walked away and left it poxy thing 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
