Canvas Convertible power top with one touch power window switch

Convertible top looks new!

We had this vehicle safety inspected and the oil changed and it is
 so well taken care of it didn't need a thing. Driving down the road is
 a pleasure because the vehicle was "Certified" and properly maintained. 

Titled in Florida since new and Autocheck shows this vehicle to be accident free.
 (See Autocheck at end of auction)

Gorgeous inside and out and coming from our Naples, Florida Saab dealership.
  Nice indeed!

Every aspect of this vehicle was taken care of; interior, exterior and mechanical.

Mechanically the engine and turbo work great.  Lots of acceleration when you want it...For sure.

The Steel Gray Metallic paint is in great shape and the Convertible top looks new-
New Goodyear tires are deep tread and smooth
and the 16" alloy wheels are clean and have no scratches or pitting.

I  looked at the under carriage of this vehicle and it must have been garage kept,
as it looks as if it was never driven in the rain.

The transmission, brake, cooling and a/c systems were just serviced at Devoe Saab down in Naples.  NICE!!

The most amazing part about
 the interior is the controls/pixels and instrumentation. All the
 buttons/gauges and controls are flawless and every pixel looks as good as it did the
 day it drove off the showroom floor.

All the electrical equipment works (and boy it has a lot) and no warning lights come on!
We have a handful of records we received from our local dealership that they received when the took it in on trade. 
 Nice for sure with extra keys and owners manual too. 

Loaded with every option Saab had to offer

Interior wise is a great part of this vehicle.

I love driving in a car with a clean interior.



Never has been smoked in and the leather is warm beige and shows no signs of wear.

Nice Warm Beige Leather Interior!

Dual power seats, heated, and drivers with memory, am/fm cd player too.

I just can't describe how nice
this interior is, even if you are a picky buyer, you will just love this car.
Questions?
Call Mark 239-910-4220 or Mason 239-980-1311

Climate control air conditioner
Leather seats/steering wheel and shifter
Dual air bags both front and side.

Heated Seats!
Traction control

Owner's Manual

Four wheel disc brakes with ABS
On Star
Keyless remote and rear pass through seating

All the carpets and floor mats look
 great and the headliner looks brand new.

We observed a similar 9-3 on eBay with over 80,000 miles from
 Pennsylvania for a buy it now of $8990. We think that is too high with those miles!

On our lot we have this vehicle on sale for only $9850...remember 19,000 miles; however to help
with the shipping we have marked the buy it now down to
$9580 and guess what???
No extra dealer fees!!!!
Just the $150 processing fee if Buy It Now is not utilized.

Equipped with an Automatic transmission and powered by a
2.0L 4 cylinder turbo engine that produces 205 horsepower and gets 29
miles per gallon on the highway. This vehicle is even cleaner in person!

Save thousands and buy the nicest, lowest miles 2001 Saab Convertible we've ever had!!!!
Call Mark or Mason for additional information. (239)910-4220 or (239)980-1311.

Saab didn't want this electric, 99-like delivery van from the 1970s

Mon, Mar 30 2020

National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) purchased the remains of Saab in 2012 to turn it into an electric-only brand. While its vast heritage is turbocharged and rooted in racing, Saab didn't shy away from dabbling in battery-powered drivetrains, and there's an experimental mail delivery van in its official museum to prove it. The name Saab in the last paragraph should be followed by an asterisk. The prototype kind of looks like a 99 when viewed from the front, and it wears the soccer ball-style alloy wheels seen on several of the brand's models during the 1970s, but the museum's curator told Autoblog it was built in Linkoping, Sweden, by the company's defense and plane-making division. It's certainly a Saab, but not quite the kind you're likely thinking of. Engineers began the project in the early 1970s, at about the same time archrival Volvo launched its own experiments in the field of electrification. The idea was to create an electric, short-range distribution van that could be used by Sweden's postal service, for example. Two prototypes were built in 1975 and 1976, including the example in the museum, and each had a low-speed driving range of about 40 miles. Additional technical specifications are lost to history, partly because Saab's car-building division in Trollhattan -- the folks that developed the 99 and the 900, among others -- didn't like the van at all and wanted nothing to do with it. Saab electric van prototype View 2 Photos We peeked inside and under it and spotted a bulky, lead-acid battery pack integrated into a tray that could be pulled out from the back after flipping up the panel onto which part of the rear bumper was mounted. This layout was relatively common in early electric prototypes, like the Bus that Volkswagen developed in 1972 and tested in select German cities. Recharging the battery pack took hours, so swapping it out was considered the more practical alternative. Period documents and images confirm the electronics were mounted under the hood. Saab made two electric prototypes, including one it fitted with front-end parts like headlights (complete with wipers), turn signals, and a plastic grille from a 99. The second wore round headlights, bullet-shaped turn signals, and looked more like something you'd see in an episode of "Scooby Doo" than what you'd find in a Saab showroom. The van's resemblance to the 99 was purely artificial; it was its own thing, on its own chassis.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Saab 900

Tue, Nov 29 2016

Saab had a cult following in North America going back to the two-stroke Saab 96, but it wasn't until the 900 made its debut for the 1978 model year that the marque started to be considered a mainstream – if still a bit odd – brand here. Based on the venerable 99 but seeming a lot more modern, the 900 sold well to those who wanted to drive something sensibly Scandinavian but didn't want the stodginess of a Volvo. These cars were especially popular in Colorado, and I found this high-mile-but-solid '88 in a Denver self-service wrecking yard. Nearly made it to 300,000 miles, but it never got the chance. The key is still in the console-mounted ignition switch, and the steel lanyard indicates that this car went to the wrecking yard via an insurance-company or dealership-trade-in auction. Since the car has no major body damage, that means that its final owner traded it in – reluctantly, we hope – on another car, and nobody was willing to bid over scrap value for the elderly Swede at auction. Most such auctions have an arrangement with a local wrecking yard to take all the unsold cars for a set price, and that's what we can assume happened to this car. Chances are that it was still in running condition when it showed up here. You could get a 1988 Saab 900 with a three-speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission, but I can't recall having ever seen one so equipped. Most Saab 900 buyers insisted on manuals. The engine in this car is a slant-four based on the same Triumph engine used in the Triumph TR7. By the 1980s, Saab had made sufficient improvements to the design that it was several orders of magnitude more reliable than its British Leyland ancestors. This one made 110 horses, which did an acceptable job of moving the car's 2,695 pounds. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
