2002 Saab 9-5 Aero 5 Speed - 76k Miles on 2040-cars
Annapolis, Maryland, United States
Very nice 2002 9-5 Aero. Black with dark gray interior, 2.3 liter, 250 hp , 5 speed trans.
Recently purchased from the first owner for my daughter to replace her now defunct 9-3 Arc. After taking care of a few needs and having it Maryland inspected (very rigorous ) we realized that the previous owner had whited out a mistake (wrong sig. line) and we would need a new title. While waiting for the duplicate title there was a change of heart and now I'm looking for another 9-3 for her. In all fairness I may have influenced the decision since I love the Aero/5 speed (my sister has almost the exact car in Santa Barbara). If you have a nice 2004+ low mileage 9-3 I would consider some kind of trade deal. Body and paint are very nice. There are a few very small door dings and chips and the front spoiler and the rear bumper have been painted. A small area is peeling ( clearcoat) on the rear cover ( see pics). That said it is a very sharp looking car. Interior is excellent, no rips,tears, scuffs or funky smells. Floor mats are OK but starting to show their age. No perceptible wear on buttons or controls and the SID is perfect. No warning lights, everything works. Tight suspension and steering, brakes are new in rear, almost new at the front, shifts smoothly with strong clutch and no synchro issues. DI cassette, SID, latest PCV update and crank sensor had been replaced before I bought the car. I replaced the rear rotors and pads, the battery, intermediate flex pipe and changed the oil ( Mobil 1) and filter. Drives beautifully, handles great, plenty of power but still gets 30+ mpg on the highway. For sale locally so I will cancel this listing if it sells before the reserve has been reached. Questions welcomed. |

Court extends Saab reorganization bid until end of November
Fri, 10 Oct 2014Saab 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.
Ultra-rare 2011 Saab 9-4X up for grabs on Cars & Bids
Sun, Aug 1 2021Saab's sad saga is full of might-have-beens and missed opportunities. As the 21st century dawned, it became clear that the Saab brand could not survive without an SUV in its lineup. In 2005, the 9-2X, a badge-engineered Subaru Impreza Outback Sport, was rushed into production (GM being a part-owner of Subaru parent company Fuji Heavy Industries at the time). That same year same GM also put a new nose on the distinctly mediocre Chevrolet TrailBlazer and peddle that as the Saab 9-7X. The last of the GM-based Saab SUVs was the 9-4X, which was mechanically twinned with the second-generation Cadillac SRX and built alongside it in Mexico. By the time the model was introduced for 2011, GM had already off-loaded Saab. But the new ownership would be short-lived, and production of the 9-4X ended after only a handful of 2012 models had rolled down the line. It's believed that a total of only 803 9-4Xs were built, of which 622 were sold in the United States, which explains why you haven't seen one lately. Or, perhaps, ever. But now you can buy one, as this 2011 example is available right now on Cars & Bids. This is a top-spec Aero version, which means it gets a turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 and the Saab-developed X-drive all-wheel drive, rather than the naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V6 in the base and Premium trims. That gives you 300 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, although this one sports a VTuner Stage 0 tune, so it could have more. With five days still to go, bidding stands at $8,500. For the Saab fans out there, don't let this be another missed opportunity. Related Video: Saab 9-4X concept introduced at Detroit Auto Show
Last 900 Saabs heading to auction
Fri, 22 Jun 2012If you've been wanting to get your hands on one last new Saab but missed out on the great Saab sell-off when Saab Cars North America declared bankruptcy, well, your ship has now come in.
Actually, it came in last year - but hundreds of new Saabs got waylaid at ports in California and New Jersey because of the bankruptcy, according to SaabWorld.net. Those cars are now slated for auction, some 900 of them, which will be available for dealers, exporters and rental car companies to bid on beginning next week. Eventually, 300 of these cars should make their way to Saab dealers, where they're expected to be sold off at 30- to 50-percent discounts. The other 600 will either be exported or used as rentals, according to the report, so "the price of Saabs will not be severely depressed."
Besides the new cars, some 67 company cars, including some interesting stuff like a 1960 Saab Quantum IV and a 1970 Sonnett III, will also be auctioned off, according to the report. Of the new cars, just over half are 9-5 models, some 400 are 9-3 sedans, another 60 are 9-3 wagons, and about a dozen are convertibles. According to the report, 28 are actually 9-4X crossovers, which is more than 10 percent of Saab's total 2011 sales for that model.
