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.
I was allowed to add up to 24 pictures. I got folder with 130 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! : )
ATTENTION PLEASE!
I just wanted to add, that car is already located in STAMFORD, CT. It is ready to be seen and ride. Just two months ago I came from Montana to Connecticut with it (2250miles) - to some extend it gave me an opportunity to test a car. What can I say? No overheating, no abnormal oil consumption, no hissing, no problems at all. The only thing was previously mentioned steering rack which looses fluid. However, not that significantly, that it could affect steering quality or pump. I left US on Thursday (07.11) and I will be back probably in the end of October. However, the car is parked in the front of my uncle's home. If you are interested to meet up and test the car, just let me know and I will manage the meeting with my uncle. I will do my best to make it as flexible as possible. Best regards, Chris.

Super sleeper Saab 900 does 174 mph in the standing mile
Sun, 14 Apr 2013Somewhere behind Hennessey setting a new top speed record at this year's Texas Mile with its camouflage Ford GT, a stock-looking 1996 Saab 900T pulled up to the line to see what it could do. The dealer showroom wheels wouldn't offer any indication that the 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood was getting help from a Garrett turbocharger, a tuned ECU and E85 gas to put out 465 horsepower at the front wheels.
Knowing that, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that at the other end of the mile the sky blue Swedish wonder was doing 174 miles per hour. The four-cylinder class at the Texas Mile has plenty such rockets, too, this Swede coming just behind a Dodge Neon that did 175.8 mph. You can watch the Saab do its thing in the video below.
Saab 900 SPG is the latest Petrolicious love story
Thu, 03 Oct 2013The latest video from the crew at Petrolicious covers one funky Swede - a 1989 Saab 900 SPG. Produced from 1978 to 1998, the 900 enjoyed a long history, and thanks to its iconic look, it's quickly becoming a modern classic for the off-kilter car enthusiast. The SPG, short for Special Performance Group, makes this a particularly rare find, with owner Jordan Melville saying, "I didn't even realize what I had at the time."
Melville gives a rundown of his life with the 900 and his passion for Saab overall, even reflecting on that dark day that saw the Swedish brand closed its doors. As always, the videography is excellent and the story is intriguing in this latest video from Petrolicious. You can view the entire video down below.
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.
