Condition: Good except transmission problem. The car is in "limp home mode" due to a transmission issue. I took the car to a Saab mechanic who told me that there was an internal issue and that I should get a used/new transmission. My second opinion was from an AAMCO mechanic who told me that there was an internal electrical issue and that they can rebuild the transmission. I can drive the car using the shift like a manual transmission (as the Saab book said to do), start out in L, then shift into 3, then shift into 4, finally shifting into D. The car actually runs really good over 45MPH. I can get up to 75MPH without any problems.

The AC is currently not working. The Saab mechanic told me that when the car goes into "Limp home mode" that non essential electrical items are shut down. He said when the transmission is fixed and the car is out of "limp home mode" that the ac should work just fine. I did check the freon levels and the levels are fine giving no indication of leaks.

The interior is grey, leather. The leather is in very good condition. The faux wood does have a faded look as well as some chipping by the gear shift.

Features: heated seats, power windows, power locks, sunroof, glove box can become an cooler, cd player (it had the multiple cd player in the rear but someone took that out), cassette player, alloy wheels, running day lights

History: I do not know much about this vehicle's history. I bought the car at the auto auction 2 weeks ago. I had a body technician check out the car and he said the front end was replaced. He said that the title has a flag of salvage so that the owner probably junked the car given an accident to the front end (just speculation, not facts). I found a car history report which indicated salvage as of 2009, however the car was driven and inspected as of 2012 and 2014 (evidence from receipts and inspection stickers). My plan was to drive it however I was not banking on the transmission not working. I do drive the vehicle but I would rather have it fixed so that I don't get stranded somewhere and since that is not in my budget right now I am just trying to sell it for what I paid for it.

Shipping and payment: I accept Paypal for payment or a cashier's check. Please remit $500.00 deposit via Paypal after 48 hrs of winning bid. I am located in Hagerstown, MD so local pickup is appreciated. If you are close by and would like me to drive the car to you please email me and we can chat about that possibility.

The car is being sold AS-IS. If you have questions please ask me prior to bidding. Thank you!

NEVS announces 200 layoffs as it says Saab restart will 'take time'

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

For a fleeting moment a few weeks ago, the news from Saab-owner National Electric Vehicle Sweden appeared almost positive. The company had its reorganization plan approved (a day after it was denied), and the automaker was actually showing a real, running vehicle, albeit one with a top speed of 75 miles per hour. But those tiny crumbs of potential goodness have been swept away because NEVS has announced layoffs of as many as 200 factory employees in September "due to lack of work."
Workers probably shouldn't get too eager to return to the factory either, because company's "decision to re-start production will be further delayed" by an unspecified amount of time, NEVS says in a press release. To begin assembling cars again, the company needs to find long-term funding and a new majority owner. Those seem like two very steep hurdles for the embattled automaker to clear.
Despite not producing cars since May, NEVS still claims it's negotiating with a new owner, possibly Mahindra, but according to Reuters, the Swedish company owes about 400 million kronor ($56 million) to creditors. According to its layoff announcement, getting rid of these workers is one step in the business' reorganization plan to be presented on October 8. Scroll down to read its full release.

Son Surprises Mom With Dream Car

Thu, Aug 14 2014

We can't get enough of these dream car-reveals. Here's the latest one: A son wanted to treat his mom to the car she's had her eye on for years, but it wasn't a restored Porsche or a fancy 1957 Chevy Bel Air. This mom wanted something special – a 1973 Saab 99 EMS painted disco-fever copper. Ever since he was a kid, Corey Wadden's mom has wanted the Saab. Wadden writes on his YouTube video that she first hopped in the driver's seat of one of these odd retro rides while working as a cleaning lady. One of her clients would toss her the keys and let her move the car. She fell in love. After a year of searching and saving, this nominee for best son in the world brought his mom down to the parking lot, where her dream ride awaited. First, he handed her an envelope with a picture of the car and the keys, a dead giveaway. She quickly put two and two together, and lost it before making it to the parking lot. She is so happy and full of gratitude that she actually drops to her knees when he opens the door. Wadden writes on his page that his mom lost her job two-and-a-half years ago and hasn't had a reliable car in years. This car aims not just to get her mobile again, but lift her spirits. It's also part of the Toronto entrepreneur's promise to become a millionaire by the time he is 25 to help his mother retire. Related Gallery The Best Cars For Empty Nesters Weird Car News Saab

NEVS' reorganization plan approved after all?

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

What a difference a day makes. Thursday, we reported that current Saab parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden had its application for creditor protection denied by the Swedish court for being "vague and completely undocumented." But NEVS was back in court on Friday, and this time the application was granted. However, the story continued to get weirder as defense contractor Saab AB allegedly revoked NEVS' rights to use the Saab name.
NEVS did put out a brief press release confirming the court decision saying: "The District court of Vänersborg, Sweden, today August 29 approved the application for reorganization from National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB." The company allegedly has over 90 creditors, and according to Reuters, it owes them roughly 400 million Swedish krona ($57.56 million). The business says that it is in negotiations with two, unnamed companies to get additional funding.
Also, according to Reuters, Saab AB, best known for making fighter planes, has revoked NEVS' rights to the Saab brand name because the company's application for creditor protection gave the defense contractor that right. When NEVS bought Saab, it only acquired the automaker's physical assets, and had to negotiate for the rights to use the name.
