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.

Saab-powered Ford is the most unlikely drift car we've seen

Tue, Jan 19 2016

Yes, you read that headline correctly. It's supposed to be a Saab-powered Ford, and not the other way around (although we fully support the notion of a Sonnet with a Flathead V8). Apparently, some lunatic in the UK took an ass-less 1953 Ford Anglia, paired it with a turbocharged Saab engine, and tuned the entire thing to go drifting. We like it. Called Urchfab, it's the subject of Carfection's (the blokes formerly known as XCar) latest video. Aside from looking like an extra from the British version of Mad Max, it has a problem with grip, in that there's just too much of it. This car is a fabber's dream, as we get to see its unnamed owner fashion new bits and bobs for the suspension before having an unfortunate encounter with a wall at Castle Combe. You can check out the full video up at the top of the page for a closer look at this monstrous Anglia. Related Video:

Meet the other Cadillac wagon. It's as American as ABBA

Tue, Aug 16 2022

The Cadillac CTS Wagon became a cult classic the second it went on sale. We all knew that it was never going to sell in anything approaching significant numbers, and if that "we" didn't include those actually working at GM, one would have to wonder what they were smoking. Cadillac was still having a hard enough time trying to convince people that it was now a BMW-fighting sport luxury brand rather than the purveyor of Grandpa-piloted land yachts. To many, a sport sedan like the CTS seemed like a stretch. But a CTS sport wagon? It sure seemed like GM was just doing things for funzies, an impression only enhanced by the CTS-V Wagon. Forget cult classic. That thing was an instant legend.  And yet, the CTS wasn't the only Cadillac of that era offered as a wagon. It wasn't even the first. Before GM said "to hell with it, let's have some fun" on this side of the pond, over in Europe, it had already taken a page from its old badge-engineering playbook to create the 2006 Cadillac BLS Wagon. It was available as a sedan, too, but its awkward majesty is best enjoyed as the long-roof model.  There's just something off about the whole thing, right? That's probably because it also looks vaguely familiar, as if you've seen it before. So where the hell does this thing come from? Sweden! Behind that Cadillac Art and Science face is a Saab 9-3, and in the case of the BLS Wagon, the Saab 9-3 Sport Combi wagon. The roofline is the dead giveaway, as no other wagon has ever looked like that. In fact, the roof and windows were the only exterior elements to copy directly over from 9-3 to BLS. No kidding. With the Cadillac front end, doesn't the Saab-funky-boxiness make it look like a miniature hearse? The answer is yes. GM's design team, led by Ed Welburn, was quite pleased with his work. Perhaps it even egged him on to create a real Cadillac sport wagon? "The whole team was very excited to apply Cadillac's design language to a wagon for the first time," said Welburn in a press release from the time. "The V-shaped chrome-plated grille, a Cadillac hallmark, is picked up again by the shape of the rear window, and the body side character lines make it unmistakably a Cadillac." The interior is surprisingly different from the 9-3, including the ignition switch migrating from the center console up to the steering column. It also wasn't exactly in keeping with the Cadillac norm of the time.

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.
