2006 Saab 9-3 Sedan Nice Car Black 2.0 Turbo Needs Minor Attention on 2040-cars
Scranton, Pennsylvania, United States
2006 Saab 9-3 2.0 Turbo. Automatic transmission. This is a Flood Title vehicle. The repair was done years ago by a reputable dealer. I'm not sure how extensive the repair was but the previous owner had no issues and was happy with the car. I've also enjoyed the car and I haven't been able to find any residual effects of water damage. The under carriage is beautiful, no rust.
With that said, the car is a great looking car, clean and quick. Feels solid and goes down the road nicely. 4 matching Tires are in great shape, it does have a slight shimmy at high highways speeds, not too bad but it's there. The body looks good and shines nicely. The paint has normal nicks and scuffs consistent with the age and mileage. The drivers side rear door is damaged and can be seen in the pictures, although the damage doesn't stand out and can often be overlooked. The interior is Tan leather which is in good shape except the drivers seat shows some wear. I have two new seat covers that come with the car. The trim around the drivers seats needs some attention, it appears to need to be re-attached. It stays on just not tightly. Some of the black trim on a few bezel pieces has peeled off, apparently a common issue. Otherwise the interior is nice and very comfortable. So overall a clean nice driveable car, It's been a daily driver. Looks good and has been dependable but it does need some attention. Needs a state inspection, the right side headlight needs repair, it works but doesn't turn off and the passenger side power window doesn't always work and the auto climate control at times doesn't stay set. These are issues I lived with since they didn't bother me much until I needed the inspection. I took the car to the dealer, they said it needs a CIM module to repair each issue, the window, the light and heater. They said the CIM is a weak part on the 9-3 and controls all of the electrical and should fix all of those problems. The quoted me $500-700 to repair and after that the car is 100% inspectable. I've decided to upgrade to a new car so this one must go. A nice car and if your handy you can have a great car for the price. Pick up in Shavertown PA. $200 Paypal deposit due at the auction end. Cash balance due within 7 days. |

Saab to reintroduce 9-3 SportCombi as Phoenix development continues
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The saga of Saab goes to show that you can't keep a good automaker down. Founded back in 1947 (the same year, incidentally, as Ferrari, TVR and Maserati defector OSCA), Saab split off from its aerospace division, merged with Scania trucks, was subsequently picked up by General Motors, then pawned off onto Spyker before its current Chinese owners brought it back out of bankruptcy. Now under the auspices of National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), Saab has official restarted production of the 9-3 sedan, but what are its plans for the future?
In correspondence with Autoblog, NEVS communications director Mikael Ostlund gave us an idea of what to expect. First of all, NEVS is living up to its name by launching an electric version of the 9-3. As we reported a couple of weeks ago, the 9-3 EV currently is undergoing a pilot launch in the Chinese city of Qingdao (which owns part of NEVS) before being rolled out in other markets around the world. But that's not all NEVS has planned for Saab.
The reborn Swedish automaker also plans to relaunch the 9-3 SportCombi to supplement the 9-3 sedan. The wagon version was part of the second-gen 9-3's rollout in the early 2000s, offering increased cargo space and versatility - particularly vital since GM had seen it fit to replace the previous hatchback bodystyle favored by the brand faithful with a more traditional trunked form to lure new buyers into the fold. Although Ostlund confirmed that NEVS has "the option of adding the convertible" back into the lineup, nut has yet to decide on if and when it will do so.
NEVS mulling electric Saab 9-3 convertible, looking for engine partners, too
Wed, 14 Nov 2012Do you believe in reincarnation? Like how we hope that, maybe, all of our hard work as auto writers will result in an eventual return as a swarm of beautiful butterflies. If you are a Saab fan, the equivalent could be this bit of news: The 9-3 Convertible may rise again, as an electric vehicle.
Word comes from the Dutch version of Autoweek that Chinese entity National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) has indicated that it will bring an electric version of the 9-3 Convertible to market in the next 18 months. The EV droptop would first debut in the Chinese market, but could expand, as could the lineup to other 9-3 variants, such as the sedan and SportCombi. A NEVS spokesperson has stated, "NEVS basically no doors holds." We're not sure if that's the spokesperson or the translation from the Dutch report, but you get the gist.
NEVS also indicated that conventionally powered versions of the 9-3 could be produced as well. The internal combustion engines could be the originally intended General Motors engines. Regardless of powerplant, we would be very eager to see Saab return, potentially as an EV to boot!
Son Surprises Mom With Dream Car
Thu, Aug 14 2014We can't get enough of these dream car-reveals. Here's the latest one: A son wanted to treat his mom to the car she's had her eye on for years, but it wasn't a restored Porsche or a fancy 1957 Chevy Bel Air. This mom wanted something special – a 1973 Saab 99 EMS painted disco-fever copper. Ever since he was a kid, Corey Wadden's mom has wanted the Saab. Wadden writes on his YouTube video that she first hopped in the driver's seat of one of these odd retro rides while working as a cleaning lady. One of her clients would toss her the keys and let her move the car. She fell in love. After a year of searching and saving, this nominee for best son in the world brought his mom down to the parking lot, where her dream ride awaited. First, he handed her an envelope with a picture of the car and the keys, a dead giveaway. She quickly put two and two together, and lost it before making it to the parking lot. She is so happy and full of gratitude that she actually drops to her knees when he opens the door. Wadden writes on his page that his mom lost her job two-and-a-half years ago and hasn't had a reliable car in years. This car aims not just to get her mobile again, but lift her spirits. It's also part of the Toronto entrepreneur's promise to become a millionaire by the time he is 25 to help his mother retire. Related Gallery The Best Cars For Empty Nesters Weird Car News Saab
