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:
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. Please email with any questions! |

GM denies Spyker claims in $3B Saab lawsuit
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Reuters reports General Motors has dismissed claims by Spyker outlined in a $3 billion lawsuit. Spyker alleged GM deliberately bankrupted Saab by preventing a deal with Chinese investor Zhejiang Youngman Lotus. GM, meanwhile, filed a response with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan saying that as the former owner of Saab, GM had the legal right to approve the deal with Youngman. But Spyker's lawsuit claimed GM's refusal to approve the deal with Youngman stemmed from the fact that the American automaker didn't want to create a competitor in China.
GM has said the issue stemmed more from the fact that it would stop licensing its technology to Saab or stop building vehicles for the manufacturer in the event it was bought by Youngman. Since Saab built its own platform that didn't use any GM tech, Spyker says that argument is meritless.
The lawsuit has Spyker seeking $3 billion in compensatory damages, though that number could swell with interest, punitive damages and legal fees, as well. Victor Muller, Spyker chief executive, has said the lawsuit is being funded by an anonymous third party. That party will share in any settlement. Youngman has refused to comment on whether or not it's footing the legal bill.
2014 Saab 9-3 officially relaunched, reborn
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Saab is officially building cars again. Production of the 9-3 Sedan has kicked back off in Trollhättan, Sweden, and the first example is reportedly earmarked for the company's museum. Initial sales are targeted for China, although Swedish customers will also be able to buy new Saabs built in their country right away, too. It isn't immediately clear if the model will be available in the rest of Europe, let alone in North America.
The initial run of 9-3s will be powered by a 220-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder before an electric model joins the range next year. There are no Biopower or XWD all-wheel-drive models presently in production. And while the lion's share of the 2014 9-3 is a carryover from the pre-bankruptcy car, there are some changes, including a new anti-whiplash seat system and a "greater number of non-GM parts," reports SaabsUnited.
"I am very proud of the dedication and the focus that NEVS management and employees have demonstrated over the year that has passed since we became owners of the plant in Trollhättan, and who have made this possible. Swedish expertise along with Japanese technology around batteries and new lightweight materials and our Chinese group's focus on green technology is our strength for the future," said Kai Johan Jiang, the founder of Saab's parent company, National Electric Vehicle Sweden.
Man in a convertible drives in the rain with a Christmas tree
Mon, Dec 7 2015A man in a convertible had his holiday cheer extinguished thanks to England's infamous weather. Nicholas Dodd saw this sad, soaked through couple while driving down the A38 near Plymouth, Devon, according to the Daily Mirror. Dodd told the publication he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a Saab, top down, in a pouring rain storm. That's not all. The top was down because of the large Christmas tree wedged in the back seat. "We couldn't believe what we were seeing," Dodd said. "It was crazy - especially with the weather - but I guess he just wanted to get his Christmas tree home anyway he could." The Saab driver's female passenger also looks less than pleased by the sudden squall. "His missus was beside him but they didn't seem to find it as funny as we did," Dodd said. "He was just keeping his head down in a vain attempt to avoid the rain but was getting a real soaking." Dodd posted the video to Facebook, where commenters also had a good laugh at the soaking wet Saab owners. Weird Car News Saab Videos christmas rain
