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. |

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
NEVS' reorganization plan approved after all?
Fri, 29 Aug 2014What a difference a day makes. Thursday, we reported that current Saab parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden had its application for creditor protection denied by the Swedish court for being "vague and completely undocumented." But NEVS was back in court on Friday, and this time the application was granted. However, the story continued to get weirder as defense contractor Saab AB allegedly revoked NEVS' rights to use the Saab name.
NEVS did put out a brief press release confirming the court decision saying: "The District court of Vänersborg, Sweden, today August 29 approved the application for reorganization from National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB." The company allegedly has over 90 creditors, and according to Reuters, it owes them roughly 400 million Swedish krona ($57.56 million). The business says that it is in negotiations with two, unnamed companies to get additional funding.
Also, according to Reuters, Saab AB, best known for making fighter planes, has revoked NEVS' rights to the Saab brand name because the company's application for creditor protection gave the defense contractor that right. When NEVS bought Saab, it only acquired the automaker's physical assets, and had to negotiate for the rights to use the name.
Rally legend Erik Carlsson dies at 86
Wed, May 27 2015The 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.
