Everything Wrong With My £500 Saab

This week we take the Saab 9-3 from our '£500 Ultimate Daily Driver Challenge' video to Saab specialist 'Hagstrom Saab' to see if it's the end of the line for our humble 9-3, or if there's still life in the old girl yet. And maybe, just maybe, if it survives its inspection, we'll take it on a little roadtrip home....

Big thanks to Hagstrom Saab:

I think the fact that Jack is developing a ‘lead presenter’ role is fantastic. Looking forward to seeing him front and centre in the near future!

This guy is doing the lord's work maintaining and keeping Saabs. He also seems to know his shit very well. I'm impressed!

[samrogers]

I reckon Ethan, Alex and Jack (in his S Wagon) should do a road trip back to the birth place of Saab in Scandinavia with two other Saabs from Ash’s court yard of Saab’s. I’d love to watch that! 😂

[nathansennett]

It’s actually so impressive seeing how far Jack has come presenting and in his confidence in front of the camera!

[Theth]

This totally needs a full restoration. And you should do a video series on it!

[keaixiaomeinv]

The banter and jokes between these two guys are absolutely fantastic to watch. Great chemistry.

[QuantumSngularity]

A full restoration + a winter trip through the SAAB factory to Kiruna - the northernmost town in Sweden. This would be sweet couple of episodes.

Should definitely do a full £4800 restore on this one . Will look awesome if in and out are fixed

[AndorRadnai]

This garage needs all the support it can get!
You don’t see garages trying to save as many cars as possible a lot. A noble cause, not saying that lightly.

[nigelbond]

Really refreshing to see Ash taking such a positive approach to keeping Saabs on the road rather than just breaking them for spares. Good on you 👏👏👏

I’d love to see this car have a full restoration. Perhaps, a low price hero series?

[henrikmielicke]

Wow, that's some fair pricing on the shop floor! If you proceed to bring it back to live please do it there to give these guys a platform to promote themselves. Every Saab saved counts :' )

[H.K_R]

I, and I’m sure everyone else would love to see the Saab fresh like new.

[kenbriooo]

Love seeing Jack taking a leading role, he's a natural and got a great presence. Looking forward to seeing being restored and adventured

[Sweaty__Sheep]

Ash was a good sport here, loved his humour. Plus, he and Jack's dry humour really bounced off eachother. Really enjoyed this.

[openyoureyeslive]

Props to the Saab savers everywhere! A very noble man and cause. It's people like this that make it possible for we Saab owners to continue enjoying the experience of owning AND DRIVING these cars. Really appreciate this channel for supporting that, too. GOOD WORK! Can't wait to see the road trip vid.

[CHLER.]

You have to give it the works. The death of SAAB was a crime in itself. They were one of them companies who didn't give a F about the cost as long as they were making an innovative, safe and all round damn good car.

I hope that they can some how spring back from the dead one day.

[Tommytank]

Love seeing Jack do a video, he's a natural entertainer and very engaging. Would be good to see him do more videos!!

[Fraz]

Nice to see Jack in the lead role, i've always had a sort of curious soft spot for Saab, would be awesome to see a full restoration/road trip with this car.

[kinnexion]

Hell yes! So happy to see Jack taking on a leading member of Car Throttle role and even getting his own video now. More of this please, CT!
