Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This dark blue 1992 Saab 900 XS, described as a 'genuine barn find,' has been with only two registered owners since new. While it runs, it requires recommissioning due to disuse since 2020, and the listing incorrectly identifies it as an automatic when it is a manual.

Condition
4
The car has not been used since its last MoT expired in 2020, so recommissioning will be required. There are some old receipts, and the service log contains 18 stamps (including the PDI) up to 175,159 miles in 2019. The odometer now shows 177,935 miles. Please note that this describes the car as automatic, but it is in fact manual.
