I have no idea how long this has persisted - the previous owner described it rolling double miles as well. THIS WOULD EXPLAIN THE LOW AUTOCHECK SCORE - which I always take with a grain of salt!! I would much rather have a car that has recently had over $5,000.00 of FULLY DOCUMENTED REPAIRS!!!
I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS!!!
AUTOCHECK DOES SHOW NO ACCIDENTS!!
I am 47 years old and have owned over 20 of these classic 900 convertibles!!!!! My first was a 1983 TURBO in 1986 in college..... boy was I cutting edge!! I have owned my 2002 VIGGEN CONVERTIBLE FOR THE LAST DECADE AS MY DAILY DRIVER! (230hp and 32mpg highway). I LIVED IN EUROPE FOR 15 YEARS. I OWNED MY 2 FERRARI 348 SPIDERS AND HUMMER 1 CONVERTIBLES FOR 5 YEARS EACH! I HAVE 5 CHILDREN 4,6,8,10,12 WHICH KEEP ME VERY BUSY - I LOVE TO WORK ON EUROPEAN CARS AS A HOBBY TO SPEND PERSONAL TIME IN THE GARAGE TO KEEP MY SANITY!!!!! OUR MERCEDES 2000 ML55 NOT PICTURED IS THE AMG 7 SEAT FAMILY CAR for the last 10yrs. I HAVE A PASSION FOR GREAT CARS AT GREAT PRICES, Unfortunately I paid the entire $70,000 for the ML55!! BUT FERRARI'S AT 60K OR SAAB'S AT UNDER 7K are much better buys. This 1990 WAS $33,000 NEW and still N.A.D.A. books at $8,850 or even $6,275 at average retail.
THIS IS NOT AN AVERAGE EXAMPLE!!!!!
NOW THE STORY ON THIS FANTASTIC
214H - CHERRY RED 1990 TURBO CONVERTIBLE!!
I LOVE TO FLY OUT, BUY CARS AND MAKE A ROAD TRIP ESCAPE OF IT! AGAIN, A SANITY ISSUE AFTER TRAVELING THE WORLD FOR 17 YEARS!!! (IN THIS CASE 2,700 MILES FROM PHILADELPHIA, PA TO UTAH). THE PICTURES ARE AT THE WASHINGTON D.C. TEMPLE (TO VISIT INSIDE WAS THE UNDERLYING PURPOSE OF THIS VISIT) OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS AND JUST OUTSIDE OF VAIL, COLORADO. A GREAT JANUARY 600 MILES OF IT IN EAST COAST BLIZZARD CONDITIONS DRIVE!!

The antenna ONLY raises and lowers by hand BUT WORKS PERFECTLY! The 2 front seats move manually and ARE NOT ELECTRIC! The extra modules on the dash are NOT my personal favorite - I LOVE FACTORY ORIGINAL - BUT can be removed easily! They are completely functional and give air/fuel mixture readings, voltage metering and PSI turbo boost readings.

New owners still struggling to secure rights to use Saab name
Wed, 27 Jun 2012Not to state the obvious, but if you're going to buy an automaker, it's probably advisable to secure rights to use the name.
That's what the new owners of Saab are trying to work out after buying the iconic Swedish automaker earlier this month, Automotive News reports.
National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), the Chinese-Japanese conglomerate, acquired the company's physical assets, including its factory in Trollhättan, but didn't get rights to use the Saab name and logo. Truckmaker Scania and defense company Saab AB maintain the name and logo rights, and will need to sign off on NEVS using it, according to the publication. The parties are in discussions.
Celebrate Volvo's 89th birthday with some neat facts
Thu, Apr 14 2016Volvo, arguably Sweden's best-known non-ABBA export, will celebrate the big 9-0 next year. The company has always operated somewhat under the radar, but it has its share of stories to tell despite an image formed by decades of solid, safe, and sensible cars. To celebrate the occasion, here are five lesser-known facts about Sweden's last remaining car brand. 1. It opened North America's first foreign car plant. Idyllic Halifax was a small fishing city of about a quarter-million in the early 1960s when Volvo arrived and became the first import brand to build cars en masse in North America. American consumers on the East Coast developed a fondness for the Volvo Amazon line in the late 1950s, leading Volvo to seek out a plant in the Americas. Halifax ponied up incentives, allowing Volvo to take advantage of a pact eliminating tariffs on cars built and exported between the United States and Canada. Volvo built cars there until the end of 1998, when it said its facility was no longer viable compared to larger factories in Europe. That brings us to The Netherlands, where Volvo bought a quirky, innovative automaker that once sold a car called the Daffodil (which was actually its luxury model). 2. You can thank Volvo for CVTs – even though it doesn't use them. Volvo wasn't interested in picking flowers. It wanted the automotive arm of truck manufacturer DAF, which would include its assembly plant, its Renault engines, and the first mainstream application of the CVT gearbox. Volvo acquired DAF's car business over the course of a few years in the early 1970s and, in typical Volvo safety-oriented style, it slapped big bumpers and head restraints on the little DAF 66 and rebadged it as the Volvo 66. The Dutch assembly plant would grow to include a partnership with Mitsubishi in the early '90s. Today, it operates as NedCar and builds Mini Coopers for BMW. Volvo is no longer involved in NedCar or DAF (which sold its CVT division to Bosch, by the way), but its acquisition of DAF helped ensure the success of CVTs. Ironically, even though Volvo's investment helped make CVTs mainstream, the Swedish automaker's affair with them was brief, and today it utilizes only conventional automatics. 3. The Swedish carmakers were pals. Over its 89 years, Volvo has been closely connected to a number of automakers – most notably Ford, which ran the company for a decade, and its current owner Geely. But Volvo is most closely linked to its longtime competitor, Saab.
Junkyard Gem: 1971 Saab 96
Sat, Jan 9 2021Americans could buy the very first mass-produced Saab car, the 92, all the way back in 1950. Few did, because a tiny and odd-looking Swedish car with a smoky two-stroke engine buzzing out 25 horsepower didn't seem suitable for highway use, especially when a new Plymouth business coupe sold for $1,371 (about $15,180 today). Then came the 93, notable to Americans mostly for being sold by novelist Kurt Vonnegut's Saab dealership in Massachusetts. The first Saab to win over respectable numbers of American car shoppers was the 96, introduced here for the 1961 model year. North American 96 sales continued through 1973, and I've managed to find one of the later 96s in a junkyard located near Pikes Peak in Colorado. North American sales of the much less oddball 99 began in the 1969 model year, and that car evolved directly into the original 900 that sold very well through the early 1990s. Still, some Americans living in icy regions stayed loyal to the 96, so Saab kept selling 96s here until federal emissions and safety regulations made such sales unprofitable. Meanwhile, Scandinavians could buy new 96s all the way through 1980. My grandfather, a self-taught engineer who set foot outside the city limits of St. Paul, Minn., only to race Corvettes at Elkhart Lake (in summer) and all manner of rust-prone imports on frozen lakes (in winter), had this Saab 96 when I was a kid. The somewhat uneven bodywork near street level is the result of house-paint-over-Bondo corrosion repairs, and I recall going on some terrifying high-speed rides around town with Grandpa, circa 1975, watching the pavement flash by through the holes in the floor as we headed to the VFW for the meat raffle. Hey, the St. Paul VFW had Grain Belt on tap for cheap, a consolation for those who failed to win any meat. After that, a man could take his Saab to an establishment selling authentic St. Paul booya. As I recall, this Saab finally broke in half at an ice race in the late 1970s and got replaced by a slightly less rusty Rabbit. The serious Saab 96 nuts— including my grandfather— preferred the two-stroke three-cylinder engine, due to its chainsaw racket and allegedly superior performance on ice. By 1969, however, a Ford-produced V4 became the only powerplant available in a new 96 on our shores (the V4 had been an option for a couple of years prior to that). Someone grabbed the 65-horsepower V4 before I reached this car.
