Selling my 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0 Turbo. This is a handyman special as there is damage to the driver side rear passenger door, quarter panel, and tail light. The good news is that I have purchased a replacement door, quarter panel, and tail light for you to install that come with the vehicle in the matching red color (See Pictures). There are some scratches on the bumper where the quarter panel meets but the bumper does not need to be replaced. There is also a couple of small dents that could be popped out on the passenger side of the car. Car comes with a clean title. (Not Salvage) The damage occurred a few years ago when a UPS truck swiped it when it was parked on the street. Rather than claiming it to the insurance company UPS cut the previous owner a check on the spot. There is no damage to the frame. The car as actually been driven as is since the incident with no issues to report what so ever. Car also comes with an extra set of 16 inch rims. There is nothing wrong with the car mechanically.

I acquired this vehicle from a friend on compensation for some debt that was owed to me. I had all intentions of fixing it up and keeping it as a gas saver and second vehicle but I decided to try to sell it because I could use the cash for some other projects. I also do not know of any mechanics where I can get a fair deal to fix it. Had it quoted at a local body shop that charges an outrageous amount per hour and they said they could fix it for around $2,000. This is an ideal project car if you can do it yourself or know a cheap collision repair specialist. As mentioned before the parts are in the original color which was lucky of my to find. So as far as paint is concerned there will only have to be blending.

Saab's never-was 9-3 gets a few better looks

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

The recent glimpses we've been getting of the never-was Saab 9-3 Phoenix must be like rubbing salt on the wounds of all the Saab fans out there. If that's the case, diehard Saab enthusiasts might want to look away from this. SaabWorld has uncovered a handful of shots of what was to be the next-generation 9-3 hatchback, and boy does it look sharp.
Revealing a clearer look at what we previously saw in grainy images or as a full-scale model, these new pictures show what Jason Castriota had in mind for the new car. The front end is obviously inspired by Saab's Phoenix Concept, while the rear of the car pays homage to the Saab 900 hatchback.
We like the overall look. Let us know what you think in the Comments.

Saab to reintroduce 9-3 SportCombi as Phoenix development continues

Sun, 27 Apr 2014

The 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.

GM denies Spyker claims in $3B Saab lawsuit

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Reuters reports General Motors has dismissed claims by Spyker outlined in a $3 billion lawsuit. Spyker alleged GM deliberately bankrupted Saab by preventing a deal with Chinese investor Zhejiang Youngman Lotus. GM, meanwhile, filed a response with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan saying that as the former owner of Saab, GM had the legal right to approve the deal with Youngman. But Spyker's lawsuit claimed GM's refusal to approve the deal with Youngman stemmed from the fact that the American automaker didn't want to create a competitor in China.
GM has said the issue stemmed more from the fact that it would stop licensing its technology to Saab or stop building vehicles for the manufacturer in the event it was bought by Youngman. Since Saab built its own platform that didn't use any GM tech, Spyker says that argument is meritless.
The lawsuit has Spyker seeking $3 billion in compensatory damages, though that number could swell with interest, punitive damages and legal fees, as well. Victor Muller, Spyker chief executive, has said the lawsuit is being funded by an anonymous third party. That party will share in any settlement. Youngman has refused to comment on whether or not it's footing the legal bill.
