For your consideration is one 2003 Saab 9-3 SE Convertible with only 57,900 miles on it. I bought this car two months ago as a daily driver and have put the last 3,000 miles on it. I have thoroughly enjoyed driving it. It runs fantastic, handles excellently, and gets outstanding gas mileage.
The outside is black and shines nicely showing only minor normal wear. In fact, I going to try and get my paintless dent remover out here to take them out. The factory canvas top is black and is in outstanding condition and works perfectly. There is, of course, absolutely no rust.
The inside is tan leather and is in nearly showroom condition. It even still has the factory Saab floormats. The carpets and door panels are excellent.
Features on this fun cruising car include power windows, power locks, remote entry (two keys), front and rear factory foglights, automatic headlights, a perfect working information display, speed control, factory AM/FM/CD, traction control, heated seats, Onstar (not currently activated), driver's side memory seat, factory 16" alloy wheels, and a lot more I can't even think of off hand. The A/C display doesn't completely light up but I am currently looking for a replacement. I suspect it needs a new ribbon or to be resealed. That said, though, it works perfectly. It just doesn't fully display. Any Saab driver knows this is typical.
Under the hood, the 2.0L 4 cylinder turbo charged engine runs great. It has plenty of power and is as smooth as, and feels like, a V6 with no 4 Cylinder buzz. Yet, I consistently get 34.7 mpg highway without the A/C on (it is a convertible after all) and a consistent 33 mpg with the A/C on. The CEL light is on. I pulled the code and it indicates the ignition module may need to be replaced eventually, but, the car is running great and has never given me any issues whatsoever. If the buy it now price of $5500 is met or exceeded, I will purchase a new ignition module to go with the car or be installed at the winner's discretion.
Just to make this car whole lot more enjoyable, as if the convertible wasn't enough, this car is equipped with the rare manual transmission. The clutch picks up nicely and it shifts through the gears smoothly.

High bidder is required to make contact me within 24 hours of the end of the auction.
$500 deposit (cashier's check or money order) is required within 2 days of the end of the auction with the remaining balance due 4 days thereafter.
If the high bidder does not satisfy the balance in the alotted time period and does not make prior arrangements, the $500 deposit is non-refundable and I reserve the right, at that point, to offer the vehicle to the second highest bidder.
If I do not hear from the high bidder within 48 hours from the end of the auction, I reserve the right to offer/sell the car to the second highest bidder.
Zero feedback bidders are welcome, but please contact me prior to bidding. I reserve the right to cancel zero feedback bids that have not done this. Please keep this in mind if you are a "last minute" bidder.
This vehicle is listed for sale locally for $5500. We reserve the right to end this auction early if the reserve has not been met and it sells locally. However, once the reserve is met on the Ebay auction we will pull it from the lot.
I have set the reserve at $4500. Please note that I will not end this auction early except under the circumstances listed above. Ending an auction early when the reserve has been met is unfair to the other bidders and, quite frankly, downright unethical.
We would be happy to pick up the winning bidder at the local airport (Greenville Spartanburg International Airport), the local train station, or the local Greyhound station.
I do not pad our prices with any "documentation" fees like so many other car dealers on Ebay do. Contrary to what many dealers will say it really doesn't cost much to fill out a couple of papers. SC buyers will need to pay standard taxes (sales and property when applicable). I can also help out of state buyers get a South Carolina temporary/vehicle in transit tag ($20).
Finally, SHIPPING...we do not ship cars ourselves. However, we will be happy to work with your shipper any way we can.

GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
This virtually new, very last Saab 9-3 could be yours
Mon, Oct 7 2019The date is October 7, 2019, and it is currently possible to buy a virtually new 2014 Saab 9-3 Aero Turbo4. Spiking the car's rarity is the fact that this specific vehicle is said to be the last Saab to roll off the production line in Trollhattan, Sweden. Driven only 41 miles, chassis No. YTNFD4AZXE1100257 is a true piece of Swedish automotive history, and it's set for auction this month. We first got word of this car back in June 2019, and the time has finally come for this Saab to be sold. As previously reported, this vehicle is from the National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) era. The seller, Bilweb Auctions, says it is the last Saab to come off the manufacturing line, and it was reportedly set aside for crash testing. The testing never occurred, and the sedan, one of only 420 built, survived. The seller says the mileage comes from running the car on the test track next to the old plant for photography and videography purposes. This 9-3 Aero uses a Ecotec 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 217 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It has immaculate Diamond Silver paint and matching silver turbine wheels. Inside, there is a two-tone interior with cream leather seats, a black dashboard, and black accents. According to Autocar, the proceeds of the auction will go to NEVS' Sustainable Mobility Scholarship at University West in Sweden. Bidding on the car opens soon, and interested parties can sign up to be alerted when the auction starts. Auto News Auctions Saab Sedan
3 former Saab execs charged with tax evasion
Mon, 20 May 2013The Associated Press reports three former Saab executives have been arrested on charges of accounting fraud. Swedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren has refused to identify the individuals, but says they're suspected of attempting to evade taxes by falsifying Saab accounts between 2010 and 2011 during the Spyker years. Other reports indicate the parties involved include former General Counsel to Saab Kristina Geers (seen to the left of former CEO Victor Muller, above), a 15-year-veteran of the company - her husband, Eric, was the company's communications director for 9 years as well.
Saab filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and was purchased shortly thereafter by National Electric Vehicle Sweden. If convicted, the trio could face up to four years in prison for their crimes under Swedish law.
