Saab

Any Saab owners here?

I've just bought a 9-5 Aero. Very nice drive. It's my 2nd 9-5 (I used to own one before). It's conservatively chipped with BSR PPC - now has about 275BHP.

Selling the car

Guys, I've never sold a car in Malaysia so would need some tips (how to).
The thing that I would want most is to sell it cash (I bought it cash). How does that work? Transfer the money into my account and then what? Go with the buyer to JPJ office? Post office? I've no clue really. I bought my car from a dealer and I've just left him a cheque - he arranged everything.

Is it worth to sell the car back to the dealer? Is it normal practice that they would pay me cash straight away or they only pay when they find a buyer?

What sort of documents are needed? What to do with insurance when the car is sold (do I get a refund on unused time)? How does that work for road tax? Can I get the refund on that?

Where to advertise the car to be most successful if selling to private individuals?

Any comments would be appreciated!

After months of trying (well I wasn't very persistent), I got it to work eventually. Meaning I've used google and found a useful website: http://aris.pituruh.com/2005/09/06/instala...-1000-di-linux/
I don't speak a word of Indonesian, but it was pretty self explanatory...

The short instructions:
rpm -ivh http://aris.pituruh.com/data/bjfilter-common-2.50-2.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh http://aris.pituruh.com/data/bjfilter-pixm...2.50-2.i386.rpm

Now just restart cups and off we go - all needed is done!
Configure the printer through the web interface (http://localhost:631) and print!

Cheap, decent bubble-jet printer (160 RM) and works in linux!
