Saab 9-3 1999 Hatchback 9 3 on 2040-cars
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
For auction is my wife's 1999 Saab 9-3. She all but stopped driving it when she went back to school and so it has been sitting outside for about 3 years now. Now that she has graduated and is working nearby where she doesn't have to drive we have decided to part with it. Because it has been sitting the battery no longer holds a charge, but it does start up fine with a jump and the level of charge quickly increases as read by a meter. It drives and shifts smoothly. There are a few spots of exterior damage which I have documented in the photos. The plastic case that goes around one of the back seat belts is separated but can could probably be easily be snapped back in place--it does not effect the actual use of the seatbelt. A good portion of LCD display does not display properly with missing lines going through the information on the screen. The knobs that adjust the thermostat are loose and often come out but can be put back in place. The tires still have a lot of tread left in them. The sunroof works fine and makes the car even more fun to drive. It has heated seats and the leather interior is in good shape. It has a leather wrapped steering wheel and sport driving mode. The remote to unlock/lock the doors does not work, even after replacing the battery. The hatchback opens fine but does not stay open without holding it up. The owners manual and Saab branded leather case for it are included. In the past it has at times made a sound while running that we believe was from the air compressor, but the ac blows cold and when I drove it around my neighborhood this morning the sound was not happening. In fact driving it around the neighborhood this morning was a lot of fun and almost made me decide not to sell it but since we don't need it I am moving forward with the plan.
I have tried to disclose any and all known issues but since it hasn't been getting much use there is a chance there are things that I am not aware of. For this reason I am selling it "as is" with a low reserve. Thank you very much for checking out my auction. Please email me if you have any questions or if you are in the Nashville area and would like to check it out. |

Last Saab 9-3 built nets nearly $48,000 at auction
Thu, Nov 14 2019It was among the last Saabs to roll off the production line in Trollhattan, Sweden, is virtually new, and now it has a new owner. The Saab 9-3 Aero Turbo4 we told you about a month ago has sold in an auction for the equivalent of $47,789. As with anything related to the remnants of the legendary Swedish automotive brand, the backstory on this one is a little complicated, starting with the model year. Saab originally ground production to a halt in 2011. This model came about after National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) acquired the brand out of bankruptcy, and was part of a run of 420 models built starting in late 2013 before NEVS lost the rights to use the Saab name and griffin logo. It was originally set aside for crash testing, but never actually used for that purpose, and mostly sat idle inside the plant, in case NEVS restarted production of combustion vehicles. The 41 miles on the odometer came from running the car on a test track near the Trollhattan plant for photography and video purposes. It features a 2.0-liter turbo-four engine that makes 217 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It has a two-tone interior with cream leather seats and a dashboard and center console that looks like what you might expect to result from Saab's parts-sharing arrangement under the ownership of bankruptcy-era General Motors. Nowadays, NEVS has financial backing from Chinese investors and is making electric vehicles based on the 9-3 platform and body, just without any Saab badging. It continues to operate the Trollhattan plant and another in Tianjin, China, and it reportedly plans a new plant in Shanghai. NEVS also has partnered with Swedish supercar maker Koenigsegg in a venture to develop new EVs. The 9-3 buyer’s name is Claus Spaangaard. HeÂ’s a Danish car collector and car-repair shop owner who says he already owns two Saab cars. Proceeds from the auction will fund research into sustainable mobility in Sweden, NEVS says.
Saab signs deal to sell 20,000 electric cars in China
Fri, Jan 15 2016Another quarter, another gargantuan deal for National Electric Vehicle Sweden (Nevs), the Chinese-backed firm that bought the assets to Saab in 2012 and then spent two years getting out of financial trouble. The company just announced that it has agreed to a framework deal with China Volant Industry Co. (Volinco), a firm whose principal business is import and export of aerospace equipment and technologies. The tentative Volinco order is worth 8.5 billion Swedish crowns ($996 million US) for 20,000 electric cars that will be delivered between 2017 and 2020. A final purchase order is expected to be finalized later. In December, Nevs signed a deal worth $12 billion to provide 150,000 electric cars to Panda New Energy, a Chinese EV leasing company. That deal will also see Nevs provide 100,000 electric vehicle products and services to companies that Nevs works with. As with the Volinco deal, Nevs will build and paint components for its Saab 9-3 EV in Trollhattan, Sweden then ship the kits to China for final assembly. Given the number and size of its recent deals, it shouldn't be a surprise that Nevs is building a factory in Tianjin, China that will be ready in 2020. Volinco apparently plans to use the trove as company cars for employees. The final agreement will also include giving Nevs access to a range of the aerospace firm's suppliers to assist with its production plans. Nevs is also working with Dongfeng and Renesas Electronics to help develop its current and future cars.

1999 Saab 9-3 Viggen is a Swede worth remembering on MotorWeek
Sun, Aug 30 2015Today, Saab survives in name only after a protracted series of bankruptcies and attempted comebacks with new owners. At the turn of the millennium, however, the brand was still able to make some great cars, though. MotorWeek is showing off one of its very best in this vintage review for the 1999 9-3 Viggen. The jet-inspired Viggen was the pinnacle of everything Saab's engineers could do at the time. Starting with the standard 9-3, the suspension was hunkered down to improve handling and lower bodywork was added for better aerodynamics. Now that the exterior looked the part, the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder was tweaked to make 225 horsepower and 252 pound-feet of torque. While that output may not sound hugely impressive by modern standards, those were strong numbers in the day, and the following model year made even more power. After some time behind the wheel of the VIggen, MotorWeek came away quite impressed with this Swede. While the Viggen might not have offered the full capability of high-performance, European contemporaries like the BMW M3, Saab really showed its strengths with this model.
