1999 Saab 9-3 Se Well Maintained Custom Rims Newish Tires on 2040-cars
Houston, Texas, United States
|
I am selling
my 1999 Saab 9-3 SE with 155,278 miles which is in good working order and has
been well maintained. Oil has been changed religiously and all general
maintenance has been kept up. I purchased a new car and this car has been
seldom used in the past year. Car was
inspected 152,000 miles by a certified Saab shop and I have included a picture
of the results which indicate very minor repairs needing to be done. Clutch and
water pump have been replaced, and the clutch master cylinder was just replaced
(152,000). A brand new
AC compressor and drier and a brand new radiator were installed a month ago. AC is
immediate and frigid! Heat is warm and cranks! The only
thing which has not been done is the timing chain: it is not presently making
any noise but mileage indicates this will need to be done in the not too
distant future. This car is
mechanically sound and has been very reliable…this car was made before GM took
over Saab and quality slipped. Cosmetically
car is in fair to good condition. Paint has numerous scratches and a few small
dents and roof shows where a roof rack had been installed. Interior is quite
nice but leather seats have tears and cracking. All power windows work. Power
locks are a little sticky. There is a nice Sony head unit installed but car has
no speakers as I moved the custom system to my other car. I have
included many pictures and have tried my best to show all flaws with the car… The tires
are practically brand new with custom 18” Katana Rims that make the car look
amazing! It also greatly improved the handling but did make NVH more
noticeable. These rims
are very high end and expensive and really make the car stand out! Car is sold
AS IS!! Buyer is
responsible for picking car up or arranging for shipping. Payment must
be received within 5 business days! Car is being
sold locally and I reserve the right to cancel this auction at any time. |

Saab begins 9-3 EV pilot production
Thu, 10 Apr 2014To say that Saab has had a tough time lately would be like saying that it's been a little colder than usual this winter. After General Motors finally gave up and sold it to Spyker in 2010, Saab declared bankruptcy the following year. GM successfully blocked Spyker from selling Saab to Chinese automaker Youngman the following year, but ultimately it ended up in the hands of another Chinese consortium called NEVS. Standing as it does for National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the new owners promised not only to restart production of the long-suffering 9-3, but also to turn it into an electric vehicle. And that's just what it's doing.
The latest news coming out of Sweden indicates that NEVS/Saab has started building the first examples of the 9-3 EV. These first 200 or so examples are set to be shipped off to Qingdao - the Chinese city that is home to the Tsingtao brewery, hosted the sailing components of the 2008 summer games on Beijing, was supposed to host an IndyCar race in 2012 before it was canceled, and also itself just happens to own 22 percent of NEVS.
These first EVs have their batteries mounted down low in the chassis for a low center of gravity and have a range of about 20 miles on a full charge. That's absolutely paltry compared to the other EVs on the market: a Nissan Leaf will travel more than four times that distance, and a Tesla Model S will go ten times farther on a charge.
Spyker files $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors over Saab's demise
Mon, 06 Aug 2012"Smack." That's the sound of Spyker's process server dropping a big ol' pile of legal documents on the doorstep of The Renaissance Center, home of General Motors - or wherever GM's attorneys live during business hours. Contained therein is a Complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and demanding a jury trial, that seeks $3 billion in damages due to "the unlawful actions GM took to avoid competition with Saab Automobile in the Chinese market." Spyker accuses GM of "tortiously interfering" with Saab's business relationship with Chinese automaker Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile (Youngman), actions that Spyker CEO Victor Muller (above) said "deliberately drove Saab Automobile into bankruptcy."
(From Wikipedia: "Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships.")
The interference in question specifically refers to the very last potential deal, called the Framework Agreement, that Spyker worked out with Youngman. With lots of GM engineering embedded into the 9-4X and 9-5, The General had the right to approve any Saab partnership that would involve the transfer of GM intellectual property. Spyker had been rebuffed over every previous deal with a Chinese firm, including two bids by Youngman, due to GM concerns over its IP getting into Chinese hands and having to face Chinese-market competitors using its technology. The Complaint alleges that the Framework Agreement would have put a firewall around all GM IP - Youngman would only work on Saab's Phoenix platform, said to be just about free of GM tech, and would have no access to 9-3, 9-4X or 9-5 technology until after Saab ceased all ties to GM.
Court extends Saab reorganization bid until end of November
Fri, 10 Oct 2014Saab parent company National Electric Vehicle Sweden refuses to go down without a fight. After a recent trip to court, the company is emerging with an extension on its reorganization until November 29. According to Europe Online Magazine, there's also an appointed committee of creditors and union representatives to monitor NEVS' restructuring process.
NEVS still isn't giving up hope of saving itself, and the company claims there are has two potential strategies for getting back on its feet. The main plan is to "finalize the negotiations with the two Asian automotive manufacturers," according to a press release. Those firms still aren't identified, but Mahindra may be involved. According to Europe Online Magazine, one of the businesses is looking to take partial ownership of NEVS, and the other is considering some sort of cooperation with it.
If that plan fails, the second option is to take advantage of the factory and become a contract manufacturer.
