No Reserve!

We are selling our 2001 Saab 9-5 SE Wagon as i will be inheriting my wife's Volvo. I have used this car for a long work commute for the last year and it has performed perfectly. We purchased it in October of 2012 with 120,000 miles on it. Prior to my ownership it had two Colorado owners both of whom garaged the car. At 120,000 miles, when we purchased it, I installed a new throttle body, new front brake rotors and pads, new swaybar end links links and new Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires. In addition, all of the other routine maintenance items were addressed such a flluids changed, etc. Every 5000 miles we change the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic oil. At 140,000 miles it developed a whining sound which turned out to be the alternator. So we replaced the alternator as well as the serpentine belt. The timing belt and water pump were replaced by the previous owner at 105,000 miles so this car will be due to have the timing belt replaced in about 20,000 miles at 165,000 miles.

ITEMS OF NOTE

3.0L Turbo engine- in 80% interstate and 20% city driving I typically average 26-27 miles to the gallon. The most fun to drive up I-70 I have every driven.

Leather heated front and rear seats- all seat heaters working properly

Traction control- works amazingly well. My commute includes some mountain driving and I never felt like I needed all wheel drive.

Onstar system works properly with the antenna in tact. I am not a subscriber, but you could be it you chose to.

All pixels on the center display work properly as does the temperature, trip computer, average miles per gallon, etc.

Front and side air bags for the front seats.

The rear hatch does not support itself currently. I have a replacement strut to swap in but have not spent the time to repair this item.

Half of the time on start up the system displays " Service Security System." Apparently, there is a rechargeable battery in the security system in case your main battery is disconnected or dead. After years of use this will get low on charge and need to be replaced. I priced this part and decided I could live with hitting CLEAR on the display occasionally as it does not effect the security system or the reliability of the car.

There is a slight coolant leak somewhere in the left front part of the engine bay. It does not drip and there is not a coolant odor however, I have to top off the coolant about once per oil change. It has been such a minor issue that I have not taken more time to address it.

The sunroof works properly, however, there is a clip on the wind screen the occasionally will pop up and get caught when closing. I have not repaired this as I usually use it in flip up vent mode and it works just fine.

There are some wear spots on the driver's seat leather and some slight cracking on the front passenger seat leather.

This wagon has always been a Colorado car and has the rock chips in the hood to prove it. However, as with all Colorado cars there is not any rust.

When I purchased the wagon, the front bumper valance had been split and the fog lights were both broken. I have not taken the time to repair the valence other than to use Gorilla Tape to hold the pieces together. I replaced the existing fog lights with fillers from genuine SAAB parts and added a pair of Hella 500FF for my mountain commuting. These are wired into the factory switch and work very well. I also think they give this SAAB a unique look.

The body is very straight given the age and mileage. The only significant scratch is on the rear bumper on the passenger side that was there when we bought it. When we purchased the wagon, I took it to my local paintless dent removal shop to have the few dings taken out. You will be amazed at how straight this body is. The paint shines nicely- a result of many years of being kept in the garage.

The original spare tire has never been used. The original luggage net is in the rear compartment still in the original bag.

I have both keys with the built in key fob and the owner's manual.

Clear Colorado title in hand.

I welcome anyone who would like to come take a look and drive the car prior to bidding.

NEV deal to buy Saab delayed

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

Remember a month and a half ago when we told you that Saab will "soldier on?" Well, we should have written "stand at attention."
According to SaabsUnited, the deal for National Electric Vehicle Sweden to buy the remaining Saab assets didn't close on schedule. In fact, it's been delayed by "a month, perhaps more." NEVS also seems to have indicated that it's not going to be answering any more questions about the deal until it's completed.
NEVS is supposedly planning on building electric cars based on the design that would have been the next-generation 9-3. The company itself is a partnership between a Chinese energy company and a Japanese investment group.

NEVS, Dongfeng ready to make more green cars

Wed, Aug 19 2015

National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS), the owner of the sorta-still-there Saab automobile brand, has reached a deal with Dongfeng Motor Corp. in which the China-based automaker will help NEVS develop greener vehicles. NEVS and Dongfeng have been working together since July, though the agreement was officially announced Monday. The companies say the agreement relates to so-called "new-energy" vehicles, though neither details of what those new energy vehicles will be nor financial terms were disclosed. But there's long been talk about Saab working on electrified vehicles, so this appears to be a move in the right direction. NEVS has picked a large company as its development partner. As part of the agreement, Dongfeng will speed up the development of advanced powertrains at its plant in Tiajin, China. In return, NEVS will help Dongfeng get distribution in both North America and Europe while helping the Chinese automaker sort through the matrix of developing vehicles that meet regulatory standards in those two regions, which is no easy task. Dongfeng made more than 3.8 million vehicles last year, and has done business with Peugeot, Citroen, Renault, Nissan, Honda, and Kia. Last we reported, NEVS was in the process of reorganization this past winter, and it's unclear how that will impact the relationship with Dongfeng. Also unclear is the status of the Saab brand name. The Saab AB aerospace company is no longer affiliated with the automaker and disputes NEVS using its name, but the NEVS website still highlights the Saab automotive brand. NEVS bought Saab out of bankruptcy in 2012. The latest NEVS press release is available below. Related Video: Nevs and Dongfeng tie-up for long-term strategic cooperation National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (Nevs) and Dongfeng Motor Corporation (Dongfeng) signed a strategic cooperation agreement on August 17, 2015 to achieve global industrial synergies. Since July 2015, Nevs has started working with Dongfeng on complete vehicle development projects to enhance Dongfeng's technical strength and improve Nevs' own development capability. Now both parties have agreed to expand their cooperation from technical development to further business areas such as global purchasing and distribution network. Dongfeng has formed several strategic long term partnerships with other international major car manufacturers including AB Volvo and as a 14 percent shareholder of PSA.

Court extends Saab reorganization bid until end of November

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

Saab parent company National Electric Vehicle Sweden refuses to go down without a fight. After a recent trip to court, the company is emerging with an extension on its reorganization until November 29. According to Europe Online Magazine, there's also an appointed committee of creditors and union representatives to monitor NEVS' restructuring process.
NEVS still isn't giving up hope of saving itself, and the company claims there are has two potential strategies for getting back on its feet. The main plan is to "finalize the negotiations with the two Asian automotive manufacturers," according to a press release. Those firms still aren't identified, but Mahindra may be involved. According to Europe Online Magazine, one of the businesses is looking to take partial ownership of NEVS, and the other is considering some sort of cooperation with it.
If that plan fails, the second option is to take advantage of the factory and become a contract manufacturer.
