2005 Saab 9-3 2.0T for sale. This car was only owned by 1 person before me. I bought it in 2008 when it had 37,500 miles and it now has 87,500. Not bad for a car that's 8 years old. I don't drive it a lot in the past 2 years since I only live 2 miles from work and rarely take it on the interstate unless I'm on a road trip. I ALWAYS put 93 octane in it at the gas pump. 4 brand new tires were put on a year ago and about a year and a half ago I had the brakes and rotors redone. The starter was replaced last month in May 2013. This car has great pick up for stock parts. This was the good part.


Now's where I get honest. I'm not a car salesmen so here's what I'm going to do...BE 100% HONEST! Here it goes...

No AC/Heat as of last Oct '12
Driver side window doesn't go down, but all others do
The headlight bulbs keep needing to be replaced
There's a CD stuck in the CD player
The brights work but the lever you pull to activate them does not stay engaged.
NEEDS BODY WORK AND A LITTLE TLC. Due to neighborhood parking where I work in the Virginia Highland area, people have loved to ding my car on the bumper and mirrors and NEVER leave a note. 
The shifter knob is taped together because a plastic button kept popping off and it was annoying. 

THIS IS A GREAT CAR FOR A SAAB ENTHUSIAST OR SOMEONE LOOKING FOR A PROJECT OR AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY. SAABS ARE NO LONGER IN PRODUCTION AS OF 2012 AND IF YOU HAVE THE TIME OR EXPERTISE TO PART IT OUT, YOU COULD MAKE MONEY OFF THIS DEAL SINCE THE ENGINE IS A SMOOTH RUNNING TURBO AND DOESN'T HAVE EXCESSIVE MILEAGE YET. 

ASK ME ANYTHING. I WILL BE 100% HONEST. I don't want to waste your time or mine so I'm putting everything out in the open.

What brands have Saab owners defected to? Polk investigates

Sun, 02 Sep 2012

When a brand goes belly-up, it's natural for analysts to wonder where that brand's consumers will turn. General Motors has mothballed more car brands the last decade than most other automakers' have in their entire portfolios, so "Where did [insert brand here] buyers go?" has been a common question asked of The General. According to reports, it didn't do so well at retaining Oldsmobile owners (who supposedly went to Hyundai), or Hummer and Saturn buyers, but did get some return love from Pontiac owners.
A consultant with Polk has turned the loyalty lens on Saab. The Polk Disposal Loyalty Methodology tracks owners selling vehicles within six months of buying a new one. In 2010 and 2011, Polk found that when Saab died, owners went right up the middle of the mainstream to Honda. It was close, though, with just 0.2 percent separating Honda from number two Volkswagen. Audi comes in third.
After that it's back to the masses with Toyota, Chevrolet and Ford trumping import luxury brands. And if you combine all of the General Motors brands that Saab owners have migrated to, GM more than doubles Honda with a 15.2-percent share, so all the love is not lost.

Are orphan cars better deals?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.

Rally legend Erik Carlsson dies at 86

Wed, May 27 2015

The motorsports world has lost a legend with the passing of famous rally driver Erik Carlsson at the age of 86. If you've ever seen a photo of a vintage Saab sliding around a corner or blasting through tree-lined roads, there was a good chance that Carlsson was behind the wheel. The man was so tied to the Swedish auto brand that he earned the nickname Mr. Saab. Carlsson experienced his greatest competition success in the late '50s and early '60s when he scored victories in premier events like the Monte Carlo Rally (pictured above). Among his more impressive performances were consecutive wins in '60, '61, and '62 Britain's RAC Rally. His three-cylinder, 750cc Saab 96 wasn't insanely powerful, but Carlsson made it a monster in the world of rallying. In 2010, Saab named a special edition 9-3 after him and honored his victory at the RAC Club in London. Beyond being impressive behind the wheel of a rally car and a longtime Saab brand ambassador, the driver had a habit of rolling his car during competition to earn the moniker "Carlsson On The Roof." According to Classic and Sports Car, he also wrote the book The Art and Technique of Driving that detailed his left-foot braking method, and it was co-authored with his wife, fellow racing driver Pat Moss. Our condolences go out to Carlsson's friends and family.
