This is a no reserve auction for a complete 1999 Saab 9-3 2.0 turbo with a manual transmission. I’m selling this car for my friend who has used it as a daily driver since 2005. No prior accident history or major body damage but it does have the typical body imperfection that you’d expect on a car with 193k miles (as shown in the pictures). The interior is in very nice shape for its age. It has a clean and clear title as well as receipts for all major services since 2005.

The brakes are good and it does have drilled rotors. It’s being sold as is because there are a few issues that you’ll need to be aware of. Known issue include inoperable power locks and an inoperable radio. It runs and drive but has a substantial oil leak from the oil pan gasket. The leak is so bad that you can only drive it a few feet before you can visibly see the oiling leaking out. The battery is also completely dead to the point where it won’t even take a jump. So, for those reasons it will need to be towed. At this point my friend does not want to bother with any repairs so he’s just going to let it go at NO RESERVE. Highest bidder takes it. If you wanted to invest the time you could put it back on the road since the issues are major or use it for parts since as we know – they’re not making them anymore.

Please look through the picture closely and as any question before you bid. We are disclosing every known issue with this car so that you know exactly what you are bidding on and there are no surprises. We are looking quick and hassle free transaction. Please do not bid if you do not have the ability to arrange for towing. The car must be picked up within 14 days from the end of the auction. Payment through Paypal or cash at pick up. Thanks!

Saab owners NEVS denied creditor protection by Swedish court

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

The story of Saab is practically a Greek tragedy at this point. The quirky Swedish automaker that was once known as a pioneer of affordable turbocharging has been followed by years of news that just seemed to keep getting worse. At this point, maybe the brand name should be allowed to fade away into the ether and be remembered for the good times that it gave us.
Saab's latest predicament is that its parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden (or NEVS) has been denied protection from its creditors by the Swedish courts. According to Reuters, the judges called the business' financing plan "vague and completely undocumented." A company spokesperson told Reuters that it plans to appeal.
Seemingly in reaction to the court's decision, NEVS posted a press release on its website announcing that the company had applied "for a reorganization to create more time for the ongoing negotiations." The automaker continues to claim that it's negotiating with two global automakers to sell a portion of the company, possibly Mahindra, but the process is taking longer than it originally predicted. It seems a distinct possibility that this reorganization attempt is simply a way to buy extra time.

National Electric Vehicle stops Saab 9-3 production amidst financing woes

Tue, 20 May 2014

It seems that quirky, Swedish automaker Saab might be on life support yet again. Its owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden, has announced that it's reducing its workforce and temporarily halting production of the 9-3 due to financial problems. NEVS was only building six cars a day, anyway.
The company put out a press release admitting its economic woes, but it still appeared hopeful. NEVS claims it's developing "a new platform on the Phoenix architecture," and it has a frame agreement with an international automotive OEM. It didn't give any specific details about either one of these assertions though. According to The Wall Street Journal, NEVS needs the partnership to lower development costs in order to stay afloat. Saab spokesperson Mikael Ostlund told Autoblog in an email that the stop in production of the 9-3 in Trollhättan would last four weeks.
NEVS says it's in negotiation to sell a portion of the company to an automotive company. Its current monetary woes are caused by shareholder Qingbo Investment Company not financing the company as agreed. "We plan to have the results of the discussions at latest during June," said Ostlund.

Man in a convertible drives in the rain with a Christmas tree

Mon, Dec 7 2015

A man in a convertible had his holiday cheer extinguished thanks to England's infamous weather. Nicholas Dodd saw this sad, soaked through couple while driving down the A38 near Plymouth, Devon, according to the Daily Mirror. Dodd told the publication he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a Saab, top down, in a pouring rain storm. That's not all. The top was down because of the large Christmas tree wedged in the back seat. "We couldn't believe what we were seeing," Dodd said. "It was crazy - especially with the weather - but I guess he just wanted to get his Christmas tree home anyway he could." The Saab driver's female passenger also looks less than pleased by the sudden squall. "His missus was beside him but they didn't seem to find it as funny as we did," Dodd said. "He was just keeping his head down in a vain attempt to avoid the rain but was getting a real soaking." Dodd posted the video to Facebook, where commenters also had a good laugh at the soaking wet Saab owners. Weird Car News Saab Videos christmas rain
