Up for auction is my 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0T (The big T!) This is my 14th Saab. I started owning them when I was around 198and have absolutely loved every one I've had. My father was a GM man for years, but I eventually converted him and he ended up owning a pair of convertibles.
I purchased this car last year and immediately took it to Joseph Chermak Saab in Clarks Summit where it was completely gone over by their mechanics, all recalls were performed and service bulletins were completed as the vehicle was still under warranty. (Hey, why not use it up if you have it??) I had intentions of having the ECU tuned, so I thought it best to make sure everything was up to snuff before making changes.
Once she was home I logged onto the Saabnet forum and researched ECU tuning. I ended up settling on www.brewcityboost.com as they had great reviews and don't maximize performance at the cost of longevity or reliability. The big T cars come with 210 horsepower stock, which was great...but who wouldn't want another 57 horsepower?? The tune is a stage II tune that required an open air filter as a supporting modification. Prior to getting the ECM back I installed a set of iridium plugs, a new cabin air filter, and a K&N air filter element. With the ecotec direct injection engine and the tune....it a little gray rocket ship with a total of 267 hp!
I recently replaced the factory PIrelli all season tires (somehow they lasted until 80K miles) with a set of General G-MAX AS 03 all season performance tires. IThe new tires have around 800 miles on them and perform extremely well in water, which was one of the complaints I had about the Pirellis.
I installed ceramic brakes in the front and rear and just changed the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic and a FRAM Extraguard filter.
The only reason I'm selling is because a friend has an Audi A8 I've always wanted that he's willing to sell if I can send the Swedish to a new home. Don't worry, I still have a Saab SUV to satiate my Swedish hunger.
The exterior is in great condition with a pair of small door dings and one scrape beneath the front bumper where the previous owner scraped a parking curb. Pics of the flaws are in the listing.
The interior is in excellent condition and the car comes with every available option short of navigation. I particularly like the parking assistance and the added comfort of the OnStar system for when I don't have cellular coverage. The HID headlights and rain sensing wipers are awesome. It has the BOSE concert audio with an in dash CD changer, complete with two amplifiers and the XM radio for audiophiles.
All windows are one touch up....and down, which is a great idea in my opinion. I'm not sure why the car has dual climate control....I mean, you're sitting a foot away from the driver when you're a front seat passenger! The climate control works perfectly and I absolutely have to mention the best feature I've ever found in a Saab in all these years. The center console/arm rest slides forward and reverse on a rail system to make the driving position comfortable for anyone. Turbos are great, so are heated seats and XM Radio, but have a comfortable elbow really seems to make me smile for some reason.
The pictures aren't the greatest due to the time of day I took them. My camera has a flaw in the lens and puts a small blemish in the lower portion of all of the pictures. I assure you, it's not a coffee statin on the seats or any other part of the car.
If you have any questions, please drop me a line and I'll sort you out. Thanks for looking!

Koenigsegg super cars team with Saab successor NEVS to go electric
Wed, Jan 30 2019STOCKHOLM — The Chinese-backed company born from the remnants of bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab is investing 150 million euros ($171 million) in a venture with Swedish super car brand Koenigsegg, in a move that could see them develop new electric models. National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS), in which China's Evergrande Health recently became the majority investor, said it would take a 65 percent stake in a new joint venture to "develop a product for new and untapped segments." Koenigsegg will hold the rest, and contribute intellectual property, technology licenses and product design. The deal deepens China's exposure to Swedish automakers, with Geely owning Volvo Cars and the largest investor in truckmaker AB Volvo, and another Chinese investor having created NEVS in 2012 after buying the core assets and IP rights of Saab Automobile following its demise. NEVS, which owns production bases in Trollhattan in Sweden and Tianjin in China and plans another in Shanghai, has been trying to establish itself as a pure electric automaker, but has yet to produce a car. Evergrande Health's $930 million cash infusion into NEVS, announced this month, was seen as a second lifeline, giving it funds to develop costly electric vehicles and access to new auto technologies, where Evergrande is expanding. The Chinese firm is a unit of property developer China Evergrande Group and is a former investor in U.S. electric vehicle developer Faraday Future. Tuesday's deal will give NEVS a 20 percent stake in Koenigsegg and could potentially pave the way for it to begin delivering products to the market, with its loose partnership with Didi Chuxing, China's Uber, yet to yield anything concrete. "Koenigsegg is an enticing company developing advanced cars with unique technology and with a customer base that is one of a kind. ... We have both competencies and facilities to support Koenigsegg on their journey forward," NEVS Chairman Kai Johan Jiang said. Koenigsegg, backed by U.S. and Norwegian investors, sought to buy Saab after its 2011 collapse but the deal never materialized. While the luxury brand has built a plug-in hybrid, it has yet to develop a fully electric vehicle. Tesla's sales success in recent years has shown that a market for luxury electric cars exists, pushing traditional carmakers including Volkswagen's Audi and Porsche, and Tata Motors' Jaguar to develop their own versions.
Saab's Victor Muller wanted to nix Griffin, return to airplane emblem
Tue, 09 Oct 2012According to Just-Auto.com Victor Muller wasn't a fan of the Saab Griffin logo. The executive was quoted as saying he wanted to "abolish" the Griffin logo and return to the airplane emblem. Muller made it clear that if he'd had his way, the propeller would have replaced the Griffin across the Saab lineup long ago.
National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the company that recently bought Saab, was forced to abandon the Griffin logo due to the fact that the emblem is still used by truck manufacturer Scania. The manufacturer is reportedly concerned about potential Chinese counterfeiting - NEVS is owned by Youngman, a Chinese automaker - though it's unclear how that relationship would lead to illegal copies.
Either way, NEVS has said the loss of the Griffin logo isn't that important to the company so long as it can continue to build on the Saab name. Muller, meanwhile, said he wishes NEVS luck in the company's electric-vehicle endeavor, but that he doesn't understand its new business model.
Mahindra eying stake in Saab owner NEVS?
Tue, 17 Jun 2014It's ironic that Saab's current vehicle architecture is called the Phoenix platform, because like the mythological bird, the company keeps returning from the ashes. That's right, the embattled Swedish automaker isn't completely dead yet. Again. Actually, it may be facing yet another buyout, and this time, the buyer may be from India.
Less than a month ago, the situation looked ominous for Saab. National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the carmaker's current owner, temporarily shut down 9-3 production at its Trollhättan factory not long after restarting it in the first place. According to Just Auto, it laid off about 100 consultants allegedly linked to problems making June payroll, as well. At the time, Saab claimed that the measures were temporary, and it was negotiating selling part ownership to another automaker.
Those assertions might have some truth behind them, it seems. Indian newspaper The Economic Times reports that Mahindra & Mahindra and an unnamed Asian automaker are negotiating with NEVS to purchase part of the company. It claims that the Indian automaker sees Saab as an opportunity to add a premium brand to its business.
