2010 Saab 9-5 Aero. Flood vehicle. Vehicle is not running and is best used for parts. 

I am relisting the car with a $1,000.00 discount! 

This vehicle was in a saltwater flood in Florida in 2012. The water line appears to have been just above the seat bottoms. Unfortunately nature has taken its course and the interior is now pretty moldy. 

The condition of the engine is not completely known. The intake pipes and turbo inlet show signs of oil, but not water. I took a photo of the inside of the intake manifold (see 3rd last photo) and see no signs of water. I drained the oil and saw a little swirling brown color, indicating a small amount of water was in there. I have not tried to turn the motor over and will leave the rest of the diagnosis to the buyer. I don't think the engine sucked in flood water, but the condition of the internals may need attention to avoid damaging the cylinder walls. Please note that the engine is covered in sand from the flood.

The exterior is in relatively good condition. There are some black scuffs on the body, mostly on the hood and front bumper. I tried using a rubbing compound on a small test area and the scuffs came out. The car has some other dents and scratches, the largest is on the passenger side rocker panel (see photo). The front bumper has a dent at the bottom, and seems to have popped off the fender a bit. The glass on the car looks great and is heavily tinted. 

The navigation system and dashboard come to life when you hook up a battery. The display indicates a number of errors due to flooded sensors or equipment throughout the car. The Harmon Kardon stereo system still sounds absolutely amazing. The heads up display appears to be functional. As expected, the electrical system acts a bit funky and certain things don't work or work intermittently. 

I purchased this car for use as a project car, but unfortunately I have been too busy with work and other projects.

Some redeeming qualities of this 2010 Saab 9-5 Aero:

  • Limited production: Only about 500 Saab 9-5's were imported in 2010. The 2nd generation Saab 9-5 was the last true Saab. 
  • 300HP V6 Turbo engine with XWD (Electronic Limited Slip Rear Differential)
  • 19" 10-Spoke Turbine Wheels ($491.67 dealer price each wheel, not including $241.62 tire pressure sensor)
  • HiPerstrut suspension with active dampening shocks
  • Adaptive (steering) HID headlights and LED accents all around the car
  • $53,725 MSRP when new
If you decide to part the car out, the Aero body parts will be a quick sale for you. The HUD windshield is no longer available from Saab. The adaptive HID headlights are usually $1000 each from the dealer. The 19" wheels and tires are in pretty good shape. 

Please note that the car comes with a Florida Certificate of Destruction. You may or may not be able to register the car for road use, depending on your state (or country). You will receive the certificate of destruction and a copy of the bill of sale. 

Condition: Flood vehicle. Sold as-is for parts. Includes Florida Certificate of Destruction. May not be able to be titled in your state.

China's Evergrande says it will start making electric vehicles in June

Tue, Mar 19 2019

BEIJING — Chinese property firm Evergrande Group will start producing its first electric vehicles in June as part of a goal to become the world's largest new energy vehicle (NEV) company within the next three to five years, according to its chairman. Hui Ka Yan made the comments at a conference in the eastern city of Tianjin over the weekend, according to a statement published on the company's website on Tuesday. "The new energy automobile industry has a huge market prospect. Evergrande has completed the entire industrial chain layout in the field of new energy vehicles," Hui said. He also said that Evergrande plans to start selling its first electric vehicle model globally "soon," which will use electric car production technology from Swedish car makers Saab and Koenigsegg, and drive systems from Netherlands' e-Traction, according to the statement. Evergrande, China's second-largest property developer by sales, has been aggressively expanding into the automotive space in search of new areas of growth as the Chinese property market slows. Its subsidiary, Evergrande Health, invested in vehicle manufacturer National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS), which picked up the assets of Saab, and Chinese auto battery maker Shanghai CENAT New Energy Co this year. It is also the majority investor in Swedish super car brand Koenigsegg. Not all of Evergrande's investments have gone smoothly, however. Last year, Evergrande Health bought 45 percent of Chinese electric vehicle firm Faraday Future as part of a $2 billion plan but the deal eventually turned sour. The companies have since ended their legal fight. Sales of NEV vehicles have remained a bright spot in China's car market, jumping 61.7 percent in 2018 to 1.3 million vehicles even as the overall car market contracted for the first time since the 1990s. China's biggest auto industry association predicts NEV sales to hit 1.6 million this year. Auto News Green Plants/Manufacturing Koenigsegg Saab NEVS

NEVS completes Saab purchase, earns right to brand name but not griffin badge

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


According to the Associated Press, a Hong Kong-based concern is close to building new Saab models. After some delays, National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) has completed the purchase of bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab.
NEVS says it plans to debut an electric vehicle in about 18 months. When the car comes to market, it will wear the Saab name, but not the marque's well-known griffin logo. Reuters reports that the company will produce EVs based on the Saab 9-3 platform, with intentions to sell these vehicles primarily in the Chinese market. Due to the continued use of the distinctive griffin head logo by commercial truckmaker Scania and the Saab aerospace group, NEVS was only granted access to the Saab name, not its emblem.

There will be five new SAAB EVs, starting in 2017

Thu, Dec 17 2015

National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), which bought Swedish automaker Saab out of bankruptcy in 2012, has finally solidified some of its vehicle-making plans. And given the prominence of the word "electric" in the company's name, NEVs is staying true to its vision, announcing that it will have five electric vehicle models for sale by 2018. The company recently made the announcement in Stockholm, according to Saab Blog. The first EV will be based on the Saab 9-3 platform and may be available in China and Sweden by 2017. The following year, NEVS is planning to debut four more all-electric models, including a sports car, SUV, crossover, and a fastback. The cars will be assembled in Tianjin, China. Whether the Saab badge will actually be used remains in question, as NEVS is no longer affiliated with the Saab AB aerospace company. Making things even potentially murkier is the fact that NEVS said this fall that it would sell the intellectual property rights for the 9-3 to the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), which would make the model the official Turkish National Car. Then again, nothing's been simple for Saab, which has passed through General Motors and Spyker and has had multiple reorganizations. Either way, the plan follows up a summer announcement that NEVS would work with China-based automaker Dongfeng Motor Corp. to develop electrified vehicles. Dongfeng has worked with electric-vehicle leaders Nissan and Renault as well as Honda, Kia and Peugeot. The company made more than 3.8 million vehicles in 2014.
