    Unique, original looking 8v 900 Turbo for sale. SPG's are always for sale, but this one is intentionally stock. This car has been repainted, re-upholstered, and has new brakes and exhaust. It looks amazing and runs and drives good too. 
    Problems I'm aware of include: 
  • It has AC but does not currently work, but could be easily fixed. 
  • The manual sunroof is stuck shut. It too could be fixed but will probably require removing the headliner, so I have not done it since the headliner is so nice and the roof doesn't leak.  
  • There is a small rust spot starting to bubble up on the sunroof, but is the only rust spot on the car that I am aware of.  
  • There are a couple electrical gremlins that are hard to explain here, but it is an '83 Saab after-all.  I'll be happy to go over this with the buyer, but it's nothing that will keep you from enjoying this car.
  • I have the badges for the rear hatch, but haven't installed them yet and will be included in the sale.  I also have a set of side rub strips but did not re-install since they were old and did not feel they'd look good with the new paint.  I can include these if desired.
The good stuff:
  • As mentioned, the paint is new in the last couple years.  I didn't have the paintwork done, but it looks pretty nice.  There were some rust spots on the hood that I fixed last summer and had the hood professionally resprayed to match the car and it looks great.
  • Interior was re-done by previous owner and as you'll see in the photos really sets this car off.  Also includes vintage Coco Mats.  
  • Dash does have a cap on it to fix the common Saab issue of cracked dashes.  
  • The stereo speakers all work but are really cheap units, so I have acquired new speakers.  They aren't quite installed yet, but will be included in the sale.  Has an aftermarket but period correct Pioneer tape deck.
  • All brake parts were replaced or serviced within the last year and are all tip-top.
  • New exhaust installed within the last year.
  • New Interstate battery
  • Tires are in good shape
  • New valve cover gasket just installed as it was leaking a bit before.
  • I have a set of Ronal minilites in silver that I could include with sale 
  • Car was at this past year's national Saab convention in Iowa City.

GM denies Spyker claims in $3B Saab lawsuit

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Reuters 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.

Chunk of ice smashes man's windshield

Tue, Jan 5 2016

Driving a car piled with snow isn't just lazy, it's dangerous. A driver on Interstate 495 South in Massachusetts learned that the hard way last week after a huge chunk of ice flew off the top of an SUV and onto his windshield. Jeffrey Cote's dashboard camera was running as he drove his Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon down the freeway in Haverhill, MA, Wednesday morning. He was following an SUV in the left hand lane. The SUV doesn't appear to have too much accumulation on it, but the owners clearly didn't remove the snow and ice from the very top of the vehicle. A large chunk of ice flew off the top of the SUV, spun through the air and shattered Cotes windshield. Cote's must be one of the cooler heads on Massachusetts' roads. He didn't swerve, or swear or even gasp. Despite being unable to see the road and covered in glass Cotes safely moved over to the right lanes and safely pulled off on to the shoulder after the accident. The ice not only totally destroyed Cote's windshield but damaged a wiper arm and his side mirror as well. "If I had braked harder, I could have avoided impact," Cotes wrote in the video description. "But it initially appeared the piece was going to fall in front of me." Cotes couldn't read the driver's license plate on the footage and told CBS Boston that he doesn't think the other driver even realizes what occurred. He told the news station he hopes the video reminds people to do the right thing and clear the snow off their cars. "Just a few seconds, just try to slam as much ice as possible off your roof," Cotes told CBS Boston. "Because, it could have gone a lot worse, and it could save someone's life if you do a better job cleaning," Cote said. News Source: CBS Boston Saab Driving Safety Videos snow winter driving cold

NEVS, the company that took over Saab, gets new majority owner

Wed, Jan 16 2019

Chinese real estate conglomerate Evergrande Group, a key investor behind troubled electric vehicle startup Faraday Future, has acquired a 51 percent stake in NEVS. That's the Chinese-backed Swedish electric vehicle company that purchased the assets of Saab out of bankruptcy in 2012. The investment by subsidiary Evergrande Health Industry Group was valued at the equivalent of $930 million and is expected to help NEVS develop new EVs. Evergrande said it paid the first installment of $430 million on Jan. 15, with the remainder due by the end of the month. The remaining 49 percent stake is controlled by a holding company controlled by NEVS founder Kai Johan Jiang. "It means that NEVS will get a financial (sic) strong main owner who is very interested in developing our vision about green mobility transport solutions for the future," NEVS CEO Stefan Tilk said in a statement. NEVS, short for National Electric Vehicle Sweden, owns production facilities in Trollhattan, Sweden, and Tianjin, China, with another under construction in Shanghai. In late 2017 the company launched what apparently was limited production of the 9-3 EV, an electric vehicle based — you guessed it — on the old Saab 9-3 platform. The company now says it will be built in Tianjin starting later this year, with components coming from Trollhattan. It boasts a 186-mile range, in-car WiFi and a cabin air filter for the notoriously smoggy Chinese air. It also showed a battery-electric 9-3X concept at CES Asia in 2017, which is likely to be its next model pegged for production. The South China Morning Post, citing local media reports, says two of NEVS' models meet the standards for mass production in China. This content is hosted by a third party.

Evergrande Health first came to Faraday Future's rescue back in 2017 with a promised $2 billion investment, but the two sides later went into arbitration in Hong Kong over a dispute about money following the first infusion of $800 million, leading the automaker to cut staff and wages last year, casting the future of FF into doubt. At the end of 2018, Faraday announced it had entered into a new restructuring agreement with an Evergrande Health subsidiary that sees them end litigation and jettison the previous investment agreement, taking Evergrande's investment in the company to 32 percent.
