Selling my 2007 Saab 9-3 Turbo, Automatic. Car is black with 136,000 miles on it. Runs and drives amazing, strong motor and trans. Runs like it has 75,000 miles on it. Regular maintenance during the time I've owned it (2 1/2 years 50,000 miles). Used this car mostly commuting from college to my hometown. Gorgeous car, I get so many compliments and head turns! Turbo still kicks and it gets up and goes, pretty quick car. 2.0 liter motor and gets insanely awesome gas mileage!! Huge plus as the car is fast because it's turbo charged but still gets as good of gas mileage as any non hybrid car!
Car handles great as it has some type of sport package (17 inch Saab rims and sport suspension), sits slightly lower than Saabs without. The car was purchased by me 2 1/2 years ago with a Salvage title due to minor damage to the front (damaged front bumper, hood and headlight), just body work, nothing mechanical. I've had the car 50,000 miles since the title was restored to REBUILT and there is no issue due to the minor damage. Airbag DID deploy and was NOT replaced. Just the driver (front facing) airbag. All others are completely fine (Driver side-side airbag, passenger front and side and all airbags in the backseats). It is possible to replace. The only other issue worth mentioning is the Strut bearings need replaced at some point. It's not an urgent issue as they are not a threat in any way, just make an annoying rattle over certain bumps. They run about $45 each, plus installation. Here's a list of what the car offers:

2007 Saab 9-3 Turbo Automatic Trans
2.0 liter motor (strong, no issues)
Turbo Charged (Super quick)
Slap shift paddle shift option
17 inch sport rims on 235/45/17's (front tread 60%, back 40%)
Leather Seats, HEATED
Power EVERYTHING (including Driver seat, not passenger)
Sunroof, flip or full slide (Does NOT leak)

List of known issues:

Front Driver Airbag needs replaced if wanted. For me it wasn't an issue.
Front Strut bearings need replaced at some point.

Clear coat on hood and front bumper cover is peeling. In the process of getting this redone/fixed.

Few small dents/scraps/scratches

Windshield wiper fluid assembly needs a hose or two ran to make work properly. (easy fix)

Side marker lights (lower front bumper) do not work and can't be connect due to different year bumper being put on when car was being repaired.

Missing the lower skirt on front bumper (see pictures)

All in all this is an awesome car for having 136,000. Keep in mind though that it has normal wear for the mileage.

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.

Spyker and Youngman sign deal, plan to build D8 SUV and Phoenix-based range

Mon, 27 Aug 2012

It appears Spyker is strengthen its ties and carmaking ability with Chinese carmaker Youngman. This comes in the wake of the brand's latest dealings with a $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors regarding the demise of Saab.
Youngman is reportedly investing €10,000,000 ($12.5M USD) for a 29.9-percent stake in the company. The shares are being sold for €0.05 (6.3 cents) each, representing a fully diluted share. Youngman has said it will not take on more than the 29.9-percent stake.
Additionally, Youngman will invest €25,000,000 ($31M) for the development of an all-new Spyker vehicle, called the D8 P2P, named for the Peking-to-Paris rally. The vehicle had been shown as a concept by Spyker previously, but things had been quiet since then. It appears Spyker will now build the uniquely styled D8 Concept shown above. The vehicle is to launch at the end of 2014 and carry a price of $250,000 per vehicle.

2014 Saab 9-3 officially relaunched, reborn

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

Saab is officially building cars again. Production of the 9-3 Sedan has kicked back off in Trollhättan, Sweden, and the first example is reportedly earmarked for the company's museum. Initial sales are targeted for China, although Swedish customers will also be able to buy new Saabs built in their country right away, too. It isn't immediately clear if the model will be available in the rest of Europe, let alone in North America.
The initial run of 9-3s will be powered by a 220-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder before an electric model joins the range next year. There are no Biopower or XWD all-wheel-drive models presently in production. And while the lion's share of the 2014 9-3 is a carryover from the pre-bankruptcy car, there are some changes, including a new anti-whiplash seat system and a "greater number of non-GM parts," reports SaabsUnited.
"I am very proud of the dedication and the focus that NEVS management and employees have demonstrated over the year that has passed since we became owners of the plant in Trollhättan, and who have made this possible. Swedish expertise along with Japanese technology around batteries and new lightweight materials and our Chinese group's focus on green technology is our strength for the future," said Kai Johan Jiang, the founder of Saab's parent company, National Electric Vehicle Sweden.
