Up for Auction is an absolutely gorgeous 1988 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible. I am the 2nd owner of this car, and I have only owned it for 3 months. The original owner owned the car until I bought it from a car dealer. The full vehicle history report goes with the car, and it is perfect. No accidents, no liens, no blemishes. This car is fantastic. It was my lifelong dream car, and I bought it in the hope of keeping it for weekend driving. What I've discovered is that the car is too pristine for me to drive. It really should go to a collector or investor. This car is only going to appreciate in value. I currently have the car registered as an antique in PA.
It is clearly evident from the condition that the car was always garaged. It is loaded with all of the options that were available in 1988. Everything works as it should. I have all the original books and manuals even the Radio code card. The car is immaculate. It was always Garaged and it shows! It runs and drives as you would expect a 49,000 mile car to run...like it is brand new! The top goes up and down effortlessly. All the windows and electrical items work fine. It is all Original. The tires are in great shape with lots of tread remaining. The original radio works as well as the factory equalizer. Even the Power Antenna Works! The leather seats are in great shape for the age of the car with very little wear on them. It is truly a pleasure to drive. I honestly wish it wasn't in such great shape, so I wouldn't feel guilty driving it.
Being a 25 year old car it is not perfect. It does have a few little things that could be fixed. The glove box door has a applique on it that is starting to peel on the edge. The material on the drivers door panel insert has become unglued in places in is a bit loose. The windshield has a tiny crack (less than 1 inch ) from a rock hitting it. The front cover on the ashtray has come off. The top which I believe to be original has three little wear holes from going up and down. It is not ripped and is still in good condition but has these spots that are worn. ( See Pictures for all these issues). The speakers for the radio crackle a bit sometimes but the radio plays and sounds fine. There are a few small door dings and maybe some very small scratches that are not really noticeable. These is a small piece of molding on the left side front bumper extension that is missing. Thats about it. It is truly a time capsule in excellent condition! It even still has the Factory Bosch Fog lights under the front bumper!!
If you are in the Lancaster, PA area and would like to see and drive this Beautiful Saab Convertible feel free to call me at 717-903-4142. I will assist in Shipping or Pickup arrangements anyway I can. A $500.00 dollar deposit Via paypal is due within 24 hours of the auction end.
Please understand that this is an "as is, where is" sale, and no warranty is stated or implied in anyway. That said, I personally would have all the confidence in the world getting in the car and driving across the country!
Good Luck and Happy Bidding!! |

Rare 9-5 SportCombi, 9-4X models being sold off in Saab asset auction
Mon, 03 Dec 2012Saab lovers take notice. Swedish auction house KVD has some ultra rare Saab products on the block, and we're not talking about a 1950s Saab 92. Up for auction are a bunch of low-mileage Saab models being sold off as part of the bankrupted automaker's assets. Included in the lot of cars are models like the 2012 9-5 SportCombi (above), the 2012 9-4X (shown below) and even a 9-5 sedan driven by Victor Muller himself.
Discovered by PistonHeads, this Saab auction has numerous 9-5 SportCombi and 9-4X models, which should prove to be very rare cars. Only a small number of 9-4Xs were ever sold, and Saab closed up shop before the 9-5 SportCombi could even go on sale here. In addition to the rarity, many of the cars have fewer than 10 miles on their odometers and seemingly low reserve prices; a 9-4X 3.0 XWD Premium with just six miles has a current bid of 180,000 Swedish Krona (just over $27,000 USD) that has already met the reserve price. Some of the cars still have the protective factory shipping tape covering up the interior and exterior.
Other than the rare SportCombis and 9-4Xs being auctioned off, there's also a sharp 2012 9-3 Cabriolet with 11 miles on the clock and a V8-powered 2006 Saab 9-7X with just 3,003 miles.
Saab has ruined all Swedish cars for me
Wed, Feb 10 2016It's easy to dismiss my hatred of all Swedish automotive manufacturers as a simple result of bad experiences. I mean, we're all products of our own experiences, some we learn from, others we don't, and some we need to be hit over the head with time and time again. I've been hit over the head too many times with Saabs (and one lonely Volvo), and as a result, I can't bring myself to buy a Koenigsegg. It started with a 900 Turbo sedan. You know, the ugly duckling sister of the beautiful two-door coupe that spawned the Aero, which managed to look stunning from the front, and like a child with a full nappy (diaper) at the rear. I bought it at an auction (mistake number one) for $6,500 (AUD) because as a bloke in his early twenties, I wanted to be noticed – and a greasy-haired bespectacled musician driving a turbocharged Swedish luxury car was my way of standing out. On the drive home I noticed two things: one, it handled like it was on rails – it just gripped! And two, the turbo wasn't working. I took my new wheels to the mechanic, who promptly told me a custom exhaust system would solve the problem – mistake number two. During the fitting, Mr. Shonky's Repair Shop managed to fry some computer thingy. I won't try to remember or understand what it was, but he did tell me that it should have been replaced and that I would have to pay for it. I agreed. Mistake number three. Twelve months later I had spent more than double the original purchase price on repairs, and the turbo still wouldn't work. I sold it for about $4,000, and moved on to something more sensible. But the beautiful handling and quirky design had left an itch that I just couldn't scratch. Many cars and motorbikes later, I sold my Mazda RX-8 because it was too perfect. You know those cars that have spotless paint, an unmarked interior, low kilometers, and you're just too damn scared to park it anywhere? Yep, it was one of those. I would spend 30 to 40 minutes trying to find a vacant spot with vacant spots on either side, and even after leaving the car I would walk back to check if anyone had parked next to me. If they did, I moved. Not a low-anxiety vehicle. So I bought my second Saab – this time a 9-5 turbo wagon – from an auction. Wasn't that mistake number one? This one had reasonably low kilometers, and was even on LPG (a fairly common conversion is Australia – just not on Saabs) and only set me back $2,200. I drove it home, and low and behold, the turbo worked!
What would you drive in 1985?
Wed, May 6 2020Bereft of live baseball games to watch, I've turned to the good ship YouTube to watch classic games. While watching the 1985 American League Championship Series last night, several of the broadcast's commercials made its way into the original VHS recording, including those for cars. "Only 8.8% financing on a 1985 Ford Tempo!" What a deal! That got me thinking: what would I drive in 1985? It sure wouldn't be a Tempo. Or an IROC-Z, for that matter, despite what my Photoshopped 1980s self would indicate in the picture above. I posed this question to my fellow Autobloggists. Only one could actually drive back then, I was only 2 and a few editors weren't even close to being born. Here are our choices, which were simply made with the edict of "Come on, man, be realistic." West Coast Editor James Riswick: OK, I started this, I'll go first. I like coupes today, so I'm pretty sure I'd drive one back then. I definitely don't see myself driving some badge-engineered GM thing from 1985, and although a Honda Prelude has a certain appeal, I must admit that something European would likely be in order. A BMW maybe? No, I'm too much a contrarian for that. The answer is therefore a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo 3-Door, which is not only a coupe but a hatchback, too. If I could scrounge up enough Reagan-era bucks for the ultra-cool SPG model, that would be rad. The 900 Turbo pictured, which was for auction on Bring a Trailer a few years ago, came with plum-colored Bokhara Red, and you're damn sure I would've had me one of those. Nevermind 1985, I'd probably drive this thing today.  Associate Editor Byron Hurd: I'm going to go with the 1985.5 Ford Mustang SVO, AKA the turbocharged Fox Body that everybody remembers but nobody drives. The mid-year update to the SVO bumped the power up from 175 ponies (yeah, yeah) to 205, making it almost as powerful (on paper, anyway) as the V8-powered GT models offered in the same time frame. I chose this particular car because it's a bit of a time capsule and, simultaneously, a reminder that all things are cyclical. Here we are, 35 years later, and 2.3-liter turbocharged Mustangs are a thing again. Who would have guessed?
