Hi there everyone! Up for sale 1989 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible. I will not describe the vehicle with endless sentences and descriptions trying to hide any imperfections. Below you will find CLEAR and VISIBLE divided list of things about the car which consists of: PROS, CONS, EXTRAS. WHILE RESTORING YOUR SAAB, THE MOST IMPORTANT IS TO STICK TO FACTORY LOOK. Enjoy.

- new rear break pads
- new electric antenna - works 10/10
- new trunk rust protection
- new seam sealer over the trunk area
- new trunk carpeting (with OEM Saab Tool Box - it lacks only radio eject hooks and allen wrench)

- car runs strong, no choking, no jumping, no overheating
- no rust in wheel wells area
- all 6 pieces of black rubber trim with silver-pearl inserts were replaced
CONS:
- small drops of oil getting out of an engine - normality as for Saabs - still waiting for a result after adding one of STOP LEAK solutions
- dirty engine - I didn't wash it to avoid any further problems - meaningless, for the fact it is covered with significant mist of dust, it doesn't affect anything
- interior lights don't work when set to 1 - open door position; 2 - all 3 work perfectly (including rear map lights)
- plenty of rock dings on a hood
- few scratches around the car
- one small rock chip on a front window - doesn't threaten the whole piece
- few nail-size rusty spots
- paint and filler cracked over the fueling cap - got to be fixed
- steering rack got to be replaced - $130 + labor $250-300 - depending on a state - it has a leak, however, it doesn't leak the way it could affect steering pump
- front 10 inches of headliner faded due to sun beams when top was stored down
- grill got crack on it
- front passenger seat got small hole in it - insignificant
- few scratches around internal vehicle area
- cruise control acts sometimes - if you set speed, it starts to accelerate anyway after 2-3 seconds - In my opinion it is sth with cc valve, got no time to check it
- AC needs to be filled - it is convertible, I was not using it
- trunk lid needs new paint - didn't bother me at all
- driver's front turn signal has few cracked out small pieces
EXTRAS:
- rare plastic top cover - it has two corner cracks and few scratches but still, it looks 100 times better than bare top
- additional MOMO steering wheel made for SAAB
- extra gauges: oil temp, oil pressure, voltage VDO - worth around $200 - very good condition

- two sets of keys
- original user's manual
- barely used OEM jack
- barely used extra wheel
- two CHROME door handles - perfect condition - just in case if you wanted to brighten the outlook
- brand new air filter - it has already new one inside, this one is just a spare one
- OEM tire changing mud matt - stay clean changing your tire on a dirty road
- OEM Clarion stereo set - works just beautifully
This is pretty much all I wanted to share with you about my Saab. If I forgot about something, I will add it shortly, but I am pretty sure that it was all. If you have any questions or doubts concerning this listing, don't hesitate to ask, I will be more than glad to assist you. 99% of all the things that have been done around the car were done by me. I own other Saab 900i which I also put a lot of effort in to make it work and look as it deserved for it. I got to sell this one, because I am leaving US soon for longer period of time and I need that money. It doesn't mean I will sell it for symbolic penny. I put my heart, time, blood (haha) and money into that 900 as I love Saabs. I made everything around the car AS FOR ME. Not to sell it, not to trade it, everything was made with great doze of patience, research and attention. Plus, don't forget about the trunk photo - lots of extras.
WITHIN FEW DAYS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE AND CHECK THE CAR IN STAMFORD, CT
I will not ship it. If you decide to buy it, you will have to come and pick it up in STAMFORD, CT.
I was allowed to add up to 24 pictures. I got folder with 150 of them. If you want to see the rest of the photos, just let me know, I will send them to you right away.
Happy Bidding and Keep Saabing! : )

Saab 9-3 production has restarted
Sun, 01 Dec 2013If you're one of the small cadre of Saab drivers, first of all, kudos to you. Because as Top Gear pointed out, Saab drivers are among the most intellectual drivers out there. Secondly, we've got good news for you, because the 9-3 has officially resumed production at the Trollhättan plant in Sweden.
For those of you who may not have followed the story, a quick refresher: Founded in 1947, Saab Automobile AB was an independent automaker until 1989 when General Motors began the decade-long process acquiring it. Unable to make it profitable, GM sold Saab to Spyker in 2010, but that Dutch automaker proved unable to make a go of it, either, and finally shut it down a year later. Much of Saab's assets were acquired by National Electric Vehicle Sweden, which in turn is partially owned by the Chinese city of Qingdao, which pledged to get production back online by the end of the year.
NEVS has apparently made good on its promise, bringing 600 workers back to the factory to resume production of the 9-3 much as it was when a workforce of 3,500 labored on it and its stablemates prior to the bankruptcy. The reborn 9-3 will be sold in Sweden and in China, with an electric version to bring some other updates sometime next year.
Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Nordic countries are known for their beautiful fjords, blonde-haired populace and bitter cold for a good portion of the year. The hours spent indoors during the dark, cold season apparently gives a lot of time for some crazy brainstorming. Tire store chain Vianor is highlighting the Traktor Terror in a new video. If Ken Block is the master of Gymkhana, then these guys know all about Farmkhana in their custom, turbocharged tractor.
According to the YouTube description from Vianor, the tractor is a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier with an added roll cage, adjustable front suspension and extended frame. The engine is thoroughly Swedish, and it's based on a Volvo 940 Turbo with a Volvo 240 head and Volvo 740 intercooler. However, it uses a Saab turbo Prospark ignition and fuel system. All told, the setup is claimed to make 225 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
That's not crazy power, but this tractor can certainly put it down. The farm machine has no problem smoking those big rear wheels and drifts easily.... although, it may be a tiny little bit unstable (hence the roll cage). If nothing else, this looks like the world's most fun way to be a farmer, that's for sure.
Nicolas Cage flogs Saab-based Senova from Beijing Auto [w/video]
Mon, 13 May 2013BAIC has officially pulled the covers off of its new Senova D Series sedan for China. The four-door is based on the old Saab 9-5 and boasts a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Local buyers can get their hands on the machine for around $22,745 at current conversion rates. Other engine options include a turbocharged 1.8-liter four cylinder as well as turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder, and a wide range of safety equipment comes standard on every trim except the very base model. Those goodies include a tire pressure monitoring system, active head restraints, blind spot detection, driver fatigue detection and parking sensors.
The Senova nameplate serves every model based on former Saab architectures, including the Epsilon, GM2900 and GM2400 platforms as well as engine and transmission tech. In order to promote its new products, BAIC has hired Hollywood staple Nicolas Cage to serve as the company's brand ambassador. Cage stars in the Senova-heavy Town of Car Legends action-packed video short (directed by Olivier Megaton of Transporter 3 and Taken 2 fame) which you can view by scrolling below.
