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. |

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect
Fri, 13 Jun 2014General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.
Turkey buys rights to Saab 9-3 for domestic car
Mon, Oct 19 2015Just in time for Halloween, a Saab is rising from the dead. National Electric Vehicle Sweden, which controls the Swedish automaker, is selling the intellectual property rights for the second-generation 9-3 to the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK). This government-supported agency intends to turn the sedan into the "Turkish National Car," according to NEVS. Using the aging 9-3 as a backbone, Turkey intends to strengthen the nation's auto industry by producing an extended-range electric vehicle by 2020, Daily Sabah reports. The goal is for 85-90 percent of the components to come from the country. "From design to production, Turkey will be the center for all parts and processes regarding the first domestically produced car," Interim Science, Industry and Technology Minister Fikri Isik said to Daily Sabah. TUBITAK considered developing its own vehicle from scratch but calculated at least $1 billion in costs. Without going into specific detail, Isik said that buying the rights to the existing Saab turned out to be a better option. Despite having sold the 9-3 IP, NEVS is signing on to help with a business plan and to create the necessary supply and distribution chains for the EV. NEVS previously tried to revive the 9-3 itself by briefly continuing production and attempting to launch an electric version. Earlier this year, it partnered with Dongfeng to develop green vehicles. The company has been beset with financial problems, embroiled in a seemingly interminable post-bankruptcy reorganization progress. NEVS has been chosen by TUBITAK as its partner for developing a Turkish National Car TUBITAK, (the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) which has been assigned to develop "Turkish National Car" and realize this important mission, has chosen National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB, Nevs, as the industrial partner for the project. The cooperation has started in June 2015 between Nevs and TUBITAK and future industrial synergies in terms of development and manufacturing shall be generated with this cooperation. In the short term perspective this cooperation shall put Nevs' assets to work and shall give Turkey quick access to extensive automotive knowledge and experience. Nevs shall also provide its know-how in the developing of the business plan and establishing of the supply and distribution chains to TUBITAK.
Deal brokered to get Saab warranty service honored at GM dealers
Mon, 24 Dec 2012When Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn were killed off, at least current owners never had to question where they would have to take their vehicle in case it needed to be serviced. The same couldn't be said for Saab owners... until now. General Motors and Saab Automobile Parts North America (the remaining entity of the bankrupted automaker) have signed an agreement that provides 179 service centers to current Saab owners to receive factory-trained technicians and official Saab replacement parts.
These warranty service providers will have all the tools, training and parts to maintain and repair Saab vehicles, and they will also have access to a technical assistance center for the technicians. Next year, SPNA will also set up a customer assistance center, which will likely be most useful in helping current owners find repair shows, as well as a program called Saab Secure to give added service support to owners of late model (2010 and 2011 model year) Saab vehicles. Finally, to make sure customers have a sufficient parts supply to keep their cars on the road, SPNA operates out of a 153,000 square foot warehouse in Michigan that has the ability to ship more than 3,000 parts orders per day.
GM's official press release on the agreement is posted after the jump.
