Here we have my beloved 1999 4 cyl 2.3 Litre Saab 9-5 Station Wagon. This wagon has a near-new looking body, only rust is seen spot run on the gas cover, no rot. Interior is just as beautiful, comfortable leather seats with no rips or tears but some wear. I am second owner, and previous owner sold it to a small dealership. After some investigating into the manual's "Notes" section, I see receipts written for oil changes-in Florida. This leads me to believe that the car has only seen one harsh New York winter exposed to salty roads, and this past winter wasn't all that terrible! Here are the pros and cons:
Pros: Beautiful interior Near-perfect exterior New tires (all four as of April, balanced and aligned, haven't been used since August). New exhaust manifold gasket (no noise from under the hood). New crankshaft position sensor (bad one is common with Saabs in higher mileage, causes stalling with a hot engine, no problems since)! Clean floor, always used floor mats New headlights, engine always ran on full synthetic oil blends since I got it All paperwork to prove everything up above! Cons: Tranmission is not working. I've heard rumors of other less expensive explanations why the car will not slip into gear, but at worst it's the transmission that's bad. Muffler is loud, not in a pro sports way. Hatchback lock broken, so I removed it. Shuts, but doesn't seal or lock, easy replacement if you buy part. I suspect cabin fan is no longer working; I feel cool/hot air as I should while driving, but not in park. Car is speedy with the turbo, Sport button (when pressed) adds a noticeable sporty feel with increased gear ratio response. Brakes are fair, turns on a dime. Sunroof/power windows are rocking, heated leather seats are an Upstate winter dream. Radio/speakers work as well. Seats fold down easily for massive storage capabilities. Includes wagon "shelf" unit for your fragile goods on top, rocks on bottom inside hatch. Who should buy this car? Someone who, like me, loves a Scandinavian/Swedish car such as a Volvo or Saab that is not only a quality drive, but a fun one. Someone who, unlike me, has the skill or money for shop time to keep up on repairs for such a car. I'm a college student that enjoyed this great car for six months, but time for me to get something a little more affordable to care for. Thank you! |

Saab's never-was 9-3 gets a few better looks
Sat, 23 Mar 2013The 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 9-3 production to start in China in 2013 [UPDATE]
Thu, 17 Jan 2013We knew that National Electric Vehicle Sweden planned to restart production of the last-gen Saab 9-3 at some point in the future, we just didn't know exactly when, or exactly where. As it turns out, the answers to those questions are soon, and China.
Though NEVS had initially said it will build vehicles in Sweden before shipping them to China, the latest report from Autocar suggests that the cars will instead be built right in Quingdao starting later in 2013. That's right, this calendar year. Also on the docket is a followup electric version of the 9-3, which is slated to come to market in 2014 in an effort to satiate China's wish that there be half a million EVs silently filling its streets within the next two years.
NEVS wants to be part of the EV solution, but it's not going to be easy. Naturally, if these cars are to be built in China, a factory has to be located or built, tooling needs to be in place, workers need to be hired and trained and a lengthy trail of paperwork has to be signed off by the government before even the well-known gasoline-powered 9-3 can be a reality, let along the unknown quantity that is the 9-3 ePower.
Victor Muller to pay Sweden back taxes for Saab work
Thu, 03 Oct 2013Victor Muller, Saab's CEO from 2010 to 2011, has been ordered by the Swedish court to pay the back taxes he owes the country for his work at Saab, Autoweek and Volkskrant report. When he was the automaker's CEO he received a salary of about 8 million Swedish Krona ($1.25 million), which was recorded as a reward for consultancy work for a company in the US that Muller owns. The move allowed him to evade taxes for awhile, but the court has ordered him to pay taxes on his full salary.
Muller, who is also CEO of Spyker, and two other Saab executives were accused of accounting fraud in May, which took place in 2010 and 2011. According to reports, Muller maintains that he is not subject to taxes in Sweden.
