Up for sale is my 2001 SAAB 9-3 Viggen Convertible. I never thought I would let this one go but a classic restoration has all my interest so my fun weekend toy has to to leave the garage. The Viggen edition cars came standard with ALL options and a 5-speed manual transmission only. This car has been not only been pampered and garaged but every single item that has been needed or required in the future has been addressed. All power options; seats, windows, door locks, keyless entry, mirrors, headlight wipers, automatic climate control, cruise, heated seats, radio antenna, cd player, etc work as they should. The top has been completely rebuilt and works flawlessly, all new AC components, PCV #6 update, new throttle body, new DIC, new tensioner, new idler, ALL fluids/filters, ABS control module, and much more have been replaced within the last few years; way too many new parts and services to list. The engine has been freshly tuned and serviced and currently sits on Borbet Type CA 18" upgraded rims and new tires in place of the sometimes problematic stock alloy wheels(nice original stock rims included.) The car is complete and missing nothing. She has had ONLY full synthetic services every 3k miles since new and is a sludge free engine(pictures to prove it.)
This Viggen has all the original paperwork, owners manuals, a pile of maintenance records, and two keys. She runs great, shifts smoothly, and brakes sharply. There is no smoking, leaks, or noises; she runs and drives perfect every time. The car is 100% stock and completely unmodified aside from the upgraded wheels. I have all the confidence in the world in this car and would not hesitate to drive her anywhere, I will regret letting this one go but the next owner will be getting an amazing deal. This is a 13 year old car and does have a few scratches and blemishes to be expected of any used car but there are no dents, rust, or faded paint on this car, only minor cosmetics that can be seen in the pictures. We are SAAB fanatics and appreciate and care for our cars from weekly detailing to lots of preventative maintenance. I have an photo account with 100+ pictures I will gladly email to serious buyers. Please email with any questions, thanks for looking. |

Saab's never-was 9-3 gets a few better looks
Sat, 23 Mar 2013The recent glimpses we've been getting of the never-was Saab 9-3 Phoenix must be like rubbing salt on the wounds of all the Saab fans out there. If that's the case, diehard Saab enthusiasts might want to look away from this. SaabWorld has uncovered a handful of shots of what was to be the next-generation 9-3 hatchback, and boy does it look sharp.
Revealing a clearer look at what we previously saw in grainy images or as a full-scale model, these new pictures show what Jason Castriota had in mind for the new car. The front end is obviously inspired by Saab's Phoenix Concept, while the rear of the car pays homage to the Saab 900 hatchback.
We like the overall look. Let us know what you think in the Comments.
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.
Ultra-rare 2011 Saab 9-4X up for grabs on Cars & Bids
Sun, Aug 1 2021Saab's sad saga is full of might-have-beens and missed opportunities. As the 21st century dawned, it became clear that the Saab brand could not survive without an SUV in its lineup. In 2005, the 9-2X, a badge-engineered Subaru Impreza Outback Sport, was rushed into production (GM being a part-owner of Subaru parent company Fuji Heavy Industries at the time). That same year same GM also put a new nose on the distinctly mediocre Chevrolet TrailBlazer and peddle that as the Saab 9-7X. The last of the GM-based Saab SUVs was the 9-4X, which was mechanically twinned with the second-generation Cadillac SRX and built alongside it in Mexico. By the time the model was introduced for 2011, GM had already off-loaded Saab. But the new ownership would be short-lived, and production of the 9-4X ended after only a handful of 2012 models had rolled down the line. It's believed that a total of only 803 9-4Xs were built, of which 622 were sold in the United States, which explains why you haven't seen one lately. Or, perhaps, ever. But now you can buy one, as this 2011 example is available right now on Cars & Bids. This is a top-spec Aero version, which means it gets a turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 and the Saab-developed X-drive all-wheel drive, rather than the naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V6 in the base and Premium trims. That gives you 300 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, although this one sports a VTuner Stage 0 tune, so it could have more. With five days still to go, bidding stands at $8,500. For the Saab fans out there, don't let this be another missed opportunity. Related Video: Saab 9-4X concept introduced at Detroit Auto Show
