Seems pricey when compared to this:

I raise you a less-obtainable want:

The price probably has something to do with the process of legalizing a pre-production car.

Brown? Tick

Diesel? Tick

Wagon/estate? Tick

Handgeschakeld? Tick

Seems perfect. Except for the €60,000. And that even at that price it’s gone.

Damn. There was a 9-5 Sportcombi for sale in the Netherlands too for 83k € last year. Getting that thing registered would be a real joy.

I’ve always liked those GM Saab 900s (don’t judge me on this one). How insane would that 900 be as a first car?

Well, I know of a Dutch guy, who got one registered in Sweden, which was even a bigger pain, since they were actually banned for road use in Sweden. He went through the trouble of registering it in Germany, in order to get it legal in Sweden.

At least the car was somehow registered and still exists. Imagine if GM decided to crush all 9-5 Sportcombis.

Nooo, that would be like killing a puppy or something, I don’t want to imagine that. Also I need to own a 9-5 Sportcombi at some point, even if it’s just a fancy Insignia.

Oh, didn’t notice it had sold already. Wonder if this one is AWD, because that would make it even more perfect.

That was a huge front-page article, IIRC.

It would be awesome. I just found it because of its oddball transmission.

I didn’t know that there are 27 remaining Sportcombis. That’s dedication to locate them.

Most prototypes get crushed sadly. But that would have been so cruel. I also need one in my life, even the sedan.

I just read on a forum that the Sensonic can be very troublesome.
