I think that is correct.     IIRC that V4  ( ex-UK Ford) engine was not noted for its power or reliability.
The immediate predecessor of that SAAB, a SAAB 93, would have had a 3 cyl 2 stroke I think.

yep correct on all fronts

Saab engines really took off [get it?] when they made their turbo motors in the 70s based on the Triumph slant-4

This is adorable.

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1973-fiat-128-2/

Including the variants made in Argentina, Yugoslavia, and South Africa, the 128 has probably been available in more body-styles than any other car.

FIAT 128 - Italy

2-door sedan
4-door sedan
2-door fastback coupe
3-door fastback hatch/coupe
2-door wagon

FIAT 128 - Argentina

4-door wagon

ZASTAVA 101 - Yugoslavia

3-door hatchback
5-door hatchback
2-door pick-up (a 2-door FIAT 128 p/u was also built in South Africa).

Used Acura RLX's continue to seem like very compelling values.

 :iagree:

Me too.  I kept an eue open for one of those when i was shopping last spring but they are like hens teeth in availability.  I like a nice sleeper sedan and that a good example.

Wow...hard to believe the XF came out in 2008.  Still a sweet looking car.  But...is it "a Jag"  :'( or is it better?  :D Is it befallen with FBC? Or are they actually quite reliable and easy on the (snicker...stupid question) pocket book?  I was looking at Lexus because AB then looking at reviews and the XF was one that came up in MT's reviews as a competitor for an LS460,so I couldn't stop looking at XF's.

Seems like it might not be bad for a 385 hp luxury sports car. $19,995, maybe the colour sucks.
2011 Jaguar XF Premium

But then I R..R...R..RemembeRed!  XFRrrrrrrrrrrrr....and saw this!  Well worth the additional $5g, assuming it's legit and clean.
2010 Jaguar XFR $25,000, nicer colour too.


Nice bum, too.


Hmmmmm...or maybe this one.  AWD and a 340 hp V6. A $75,000 car...3 yrs old...and yours for the price of a new Accord.  Hmmm...I mean it's not a Fusion...but it's pretty darn nice, right?
2015 Jaguar XF 3.0 SUPERCHARGED / AWD $34,495

Not a bad looking winter beater.

There's probably a reason.  But, for someone that's willing to undertake the risk of it, that's a lot of car for the money.  Poor original owner, lost a LOT of money.  If the dealer is selling for $25K, trade value was probably $12K.

Non-R XF's are common in the city; no thanks. They blend in with every other mid-range sedan on the road and reek "entry level Jag".
