The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"I bought this SAAB locally in 2003 as a "certified pre-owned" vehicle when it had a little more than 42,000 miles on it. Hardly used it over the last 10 years.. and now with a little more than 53,000 miles ... never in any accident, a few scratches on the exterior, otherwise paint is real good, no rust... However, have had several "nagging" issues SAAB affectionados will understand - mostly computer display issues. For instance, I get a message saying to check the "soft cover".. I have checked it many, many, many times but there seems to be nothing wrong it and convertible top is in good condition and operates OK. I also get a display light that comes on to check the engine. I and mechanics have checked it but the issues are seemingly minor which I will share with you. Computer information pixels showing time,mileage, etc simply disappear from view. If you "Google" these problems, these seem to be historical with SAAB, universal and explained ...."

SAAB lovers, this car is for you!!! My CLASSIC convertible has been well taken care and garaged during the 10 year period I have had it. I will sell the car for $6000. (I paid $15,000 for it with 42,000 miles on it. During the 10 years I have had it I only put 11,000 miles on it. It is now showing a little more than 53,000 miles on the odometer.) Now asking $6000. Negotiable? Yes!

Still interested? Read on please...............

It runs smooth, and powerful, and since I am a non-smoker there are no smoking smells inside. It's built solid and an original Swedish design. The turbo mechanism spools up nicely and feels like a jet when you speed up. This vehiclenshould last for many more years to come.  

 I bought this SAAB locally in 2003 as a "certified pre-owned" vehicle when it had a little more than 42,000 miles on it. Hardly used it over the last 10 years.. and now with a little more than 53,000 miles ... never in any accident, a few scratches on the exterior, otherwise paint is real good, no rust... super solid, been garaged with weekly driveabouts around town...

SAAB affectionados will understand this. Sadly, the SAAB company has been sold off and presently not operating. Amazingly, they sure built great cars and this vehicle is one of them, so I am not sure why this event happened.

However, in all honesty SAAB vehicles, including this one historically have had several "nagging" issues - mostly computer display issues. For instance, I get a message saying to check the "soft cover".. I have checked it many, many, many times but there seems to be nothing wrong it and convertible top is in good condition and operates OK. I also get a display light that comes on to check the engine. I and mechanics have checked it but the issues are seemingly minor which I will share with you. Computer information pixels showing time,mileage, etc simply disappear from view. If you "Google" these problems, these seem to be universal and explained ....

So, do you want it?
I accept cash only and/or will deal with a bank in the Charleston SC area. You or your rep can bring the cash or we can go to the bank together and get the cash. No scammer please. In other words, no Paypal, no certified checks, etc. No one buys a car unseen and unchecked. No BS.  

If you are really interested in my SAAB, and want a good car, you will need to be "real" and "honest" as I  am and will be with you. If you leave me your phone number, I will call you back.

GM denies Spyker claims in $3B Saab lawsuit

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Reuters reports General Motors has dismissed claims by Spyker outlined in a $3 billion lawsuit. Spyker alleged GM deliberately bankrupted Saab by preventing a deal with Chinese investor Zhejiang Youngman Lotus. GM, meanwhile, filed a response with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan saying that as the former owner of Saab, GM had the legal right to approve the deal with Youngman. But Spyker's lawsuit claimed GM's refusal to approve the deal with Youngman stemmed from the fact that the American automaker didn't want to create a competitor in China.
GM has said the issue stemmed more from the fact that it would stop licensing its technology to Saab or stop building vehicles for the manufacturer in the event it was bought by Youngman. Since Saab built its own platform that didn't use any GM tech, Spyker says that argument is meritless.
The lawsuit has Spyker seeking $3 billion in compensatory damages, though that number could swell with interest, punitive damages and legal fees, as well. Victor Muller, Spyker chief executive, has said the lawsuit is being funded by an anonymous third party. That party will share in any settlement. Youngman has refused to comment on whether or not it's footing the legal bill.

2014 Saab 9-3 officially relaunched, reborn

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

Saab is officially building cars again. Production of the 9-3 Sedan has kicked back off in Trollhättan, Sweden, and the first example is reportedly earmarked for the company's museum. Initial sales are targeted for China, although Swedish customers will also be able to buy new Saabs built in their country right away, too. It isn't immediately clear if the model will be available in the rest of Europe, let alone in North America.
The initial run of 9-3s will be powered by a 220-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder before an electric model joins the range next year. There are no Biopower or XWD all-wheel-drive models presently in production. And while the lion's share of the 2014 9-3 is a carryover from the pre-bankruptcy car, there are some changes, including a new anti-whiplash seat system and a "greater number of non-GM parts," reports SaabsUnited.
"I am very proud of the dedication and the focus that NEVS management and employees have demonstrated over the year that has passed since we became owners of the plant in Trollhättan, and who have made this possible. Swedish expertise along with Japanese technology around batteries and new lightweight materials and our Chinese group's focus on green technology is our strength for the future," said Kai Johan Jiang, the founder of Saab's parent company, National Electric Vehicle Sweden.

Dealership refunds student for broken Saab with bags of pennies

Fri, Jul 25 2014

Every so often, we come across the story of someone trying to "stick it to the man" by paying a parking fine or speeding ticket in pennies or dimes. Never, though, have we heard of a business stooping to such cliched lengths. Enter Florida. Irena Mujakovic bought a 2003 Saab way back in January from Holiday Motors, in Jacksonville, FL. Shortly after the purchase, the transmission started acting up. She returned to the dealer and paid for the repair, and purchased a warranty for future issues. Total cost: $300. But then the trans crapped out not long after the initial repair, and Mujakovic was back at Holiday Motors. This is where things start going south. This second trip cost Mujakovic $400, with her warranty in hand. That's because the man that runs the dealer, Ed Di Miranda, neglected to mention that the warranty didn't cover labor costs. "The warranty did not cover labor and I failed to write that in and that was her loophole," Di Miranda told First Coast News. The young college student filed a complaint with the Florida DMV, who sided with her and ordered Holiday Motors to refund the money. Di Miranda and the dealership did just that, but when Mujakovic came to collect her refund, it was to a bag of pennies, with a few dollar bills sprinkled in for good measure. Di Miranda, doesn't seem to think he's done anything wrong, claiming that only about $85 was in change, while the rest was paper money. "I am doing what DMV asked me to do," Di Miranda said. "It is legal tender." Mujakovic has not collected her refund. Have a look below for the video news report. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
