Repairable Or For Parts 1999 Saab Turbo 9-5 Se Red 4-door 3.0 V6 - No Key on 2040-cars
Knoxville, Maryland, United States
This snazzy cayenne red mica painted Saab was donated to our small non-profit organization by its previous owner, for our use. It was not smoked in while in our possession, but I do not have smoking information from prior owners. I was able to find good service records at a dealership in Hagerstown, MD, where it was originally purchased. It had 114,000 miles on it when we got it, and we used it lightly (and with great pleasure!) until it needed some work on its Turbocharger. We parked it (at 117,951 miles) to do some fundraising for the Turbocharger repairs. In the meantime its key was destroyed in a small kitchen fire at the Center. SO WE DO NOT HAVE A KEY FOR THIS CAR!!! I have been told that without the key or the fob the car would need a new ignition "TWICE" module, married to a new key at a dealership, a complex but not impossible repair. So this is a repairable near-luxury car, or great parts car, which has now been sitting for 4 years. Among the Owner's Manual and other paperwork in the glove box (it's a refrigerated glove box... so, now that you know that, you REALLY MUST make a bid!!!) I found the original window sticker, with all the loaded features and extras listed. A picture of it is at the end of the batch of pictures. You will need to bring a tilt-deck tow-truck to pick up this car in Knoxville, MD 21758 (across the river and very near to Harper's Ferry, WV.) Deposit is through PayPal. Payment must be received within 2 days of the end of the auction. Title will be provided at pick-up, and upon completed payment. Arrangements for pick-up and title exchange will be made post-sale, to be mutually agreeable, mutually convenient, and within a reasonable time. Please feel free contact me to ask questions. Questions and information from other eBayers are attached to this listing, with opinions and information about the lost key issue. THANK YOU for looking! |

1999 Saab 9-3 Viggen is a Swede worth remembering on MotorWeek
Sun, Aug 30 2015Today, Saab survives in name only after a protracted series of bankruptcies and attempted comebacks with new owners. At the turn of the millennium, however, the brand was still able to make some great cars, though. MotorWeek is showing off one of its very best in this vintage review for the 1999 9-3 Viggen. The jet-inspired Viggen was the pinnacle of everything Saab's engineers could do at the time. Starting with the standard 9-3, the suspension was hunkered down to improve handling and lower bodywork was added for better aerodynamics. Now that the exterior looked the part, the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder was tweaked to make 225 horsepower and 252 pound-feet of torque. While that output may not sound hugely impressive by modern standards, those were strong numbers in the day, and the following model year made even more power. After some time behind the wheel of the VIggen, MotorWeek came away quite impressed with this Swede. While the Viggen might not have offered the full capability of high-performance, European contemporaries like the BMW M3, Saab really showed its strengths with this model.
eBay Find of the Day: 1985 Saab Turbo Limo is the ultimate high school reunion ride
Wed, 18 Jul 2012Yes, we've seen this 1985 Saab 900 Turbo limo for sale before. But somehow, this time is just seems more right. And we've got more pictures this go-around.
With the Saab brand now dormant and little hope for a true renaissance, save for one that comes in name only, Saab's future must lie in the celebration of great cars of its past. And what better way to celebrate the wonderful Saab 900 than to chop it in half and turn it into a freaking limousine?
Claimed to have been built by a Denver area Saab specialist, this five-speed manual 900 Turbo is listed with a Buy It Now of $8,500. It's actually surprisingly well turned-out, too, with a pretty decent interior that sticks to real Saab seats, avoiding the crushed-velvet or button-festooned lounge chair look. While this seems rather spendy for a well-used limousine, good luck finding another one like it. And besides, that's a lot less than the $12,500 asking price from back in 2010.
Junkyard Gem: 1989 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible
Fri, Oct 14 2022I live in Colorado, where Saabs were loved deeply by residents going way back to the 96 (and I'm sure a few 92s were sold here in the 1950s, though I haven't found any in local car graveyards … yet). By far the easiest pre-GM Trollhattanites to find in Centennial State wrecking yards these days are the 1978-1993 900s, and I walk by a half-dozen for each one that I document as a Junkyard Gem. We admired a gloriously brown 900 Turbo two-door a few months back, but today's 900 Turbo is an extremely rare cabriolet version, the first I've found in a boneyard in at least 15 years. The convertible 900 was available only as a turbocharged version in the United States when it was introduced for the 1986 model year, and that continued through 1991. After that, a naturally-aspirated 900 convertible could be bought here. When in very nice condition, these cars can bring tidy sums. A super-low-mile '87 900 Turbo convertible just sold for $145,000 recently, in fact. This car has more than 843 times as many miles on the odometer as that car, however, and it shows every one of them. It's not terribly rusty, considering, but the sheet metal shows many battle scars, and the interior is about what you'd expect with 33-year-old leather. Last year's film adaptation of Haruki Murakami's short story, "Drive My Car," put the Saab 900 Turbo back into mainstream cultural awareness. However, that car is a two-door sedan; the best-known Saab 900 Turbo Convertible in cinema history is the one driven by Iben Hjelje's character in the film adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel, "High Fidelity." These cars were fairly quick for their time, with 160 horsepower from this DOHC 2.0-liter straight-four in 1989. Having seen more than my share of 900 Turbos going up against same-era BMW E30s and Acura Integras on road courses, I'd put my money on the Saab in a wheel-to-wheel race (that is, in a race short enough to keep the Swede's nervous engine alive). While a three-speed automatic was available on this car, the kind of Americans odd enough to buy Saabs in 1989 also tended to be the type that wanted manual transmissions. In fact, I can't recall ever seeing a (non-Opel-based) 900 with a slushbox. Yes, Opel! Starting in the 1994 model year, the 900 name went on a car based on the Opel Vectra platform. Later on, the Saab 9-5 and Saturn L-Series lived on the same chassis. Given all the luxury features and genuine performance, this car was a pretty good value for the price in 1989.
