1991 SAAB 900 CONVERTIBLE COUPE

I bought the car about 6 years ago.  The car was last registered in 2009.  I have kept the car covered with a car cover, in a covered carport, until about two months ago, when I moved it to its current location.  I was going to restore the car and give it to my wife, but both she and I have been sick, so I never got around to working on it. 

The car runs well but it is not perfect.  Please see, “PROBLEMS,”  below.

I do not see colors well, but I believe that the color in the pictures is less gold/champagne than the car actually is.

The car has an automatic transmission.

This car is not a turbo. 

When I bought the SAAB, (about 6 years ago), the previous owner told me that the top was new, and that it had not been involved in any accidents.  I believe that the previous owner replaced the original radio with an upgraded radio, but I am not certain of this.

After buying the car, I had the car professionally painted. The remaining repairs seemed to me to be cosmetic and/or minor, with the exception of the transmission, which is slightly slipping.  I do not know how to repair that or what is needed to repair it.

I have not been involved in any accidents in the car.  Other than the prior owner telling me that the car had not been in any accidents prior to my purchase, I do not know if the car was in any accidents prior to my purchasing it.

The engine seems fine.  It is not leaking or burning oil.  The car runs well and seems to have a lot of power.  The engine seems fairly quiet.  I guarantee that the engine will pass a smog test. 

I am not aware of any electrical problems.

The suspension seems good to me.

The wheels are real, (not hub-caps).

I have not seen any rust or dry-rot.

I am providing clear title to the vehicle.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEMS: 

INTERIOR:  There are cosmetic issues on the interior, and I have shown some, but not all, of those issues in the pictures.  The issue includes rips, tears, curling, and missing pieces(s).  There are several narrow cracks in the top of the dashboard.  Pieces of the burl wood type cover on the dash are torn or missing.

CONVERTIBLE TOP:  When I bought the car, the previous owner told me that the top had just been replaced.  I later noticed that there was a piece of tape at the bottom of the rear window.  I do not know why and I have left it there.  I also noticed that one seam has opened a bit.  You can see the tape and the seam in the pictures.

TRANSMISSION:  The transmission is slightly slipping. 


TIRES and WHEELS:  A wheel alignment is needed.  The front passenger side tire should be replaced immediately

OTHER PROBLEMS:  There may be other problems that I do not know about, and there are likely other rips, chips, and tears on the interior, but I have put the problems that I know about in this auction information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


The car is located in the Valley Glen area, (formerly a part of Van Nuys), of the San Fernando Valley, in Los Angeles, California:

If you are in the Southern California area:  You are welcome to come and see the car.  Please e-mail me to set-up a date and time.

If you are out of the area and want to transport the car:  If you purchase the car and want to arrange for the transportation, I will cooperate with the transport company to get the car to you, but you will have to pay for the transportation and you will be responsible for the car while it is in the process of being transported.  The car does not have current tags, so I cannot drive it on the street.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other than guaranteeing that the car will pass a smog test, the car is Sold AS-IS WHERE-IS.  No warranty and/or guarantees of any kind, (other than passing a smog test).  Car is running.  The car is not smoking or leaking.  Clear CA title on-hand.

I will accept a bank checks, personal checks, cash, and/or Pay-Pal.

Title and possession will not pass until after full payment has cleared.  Title and possesion will pass at the time the car is picked-up.

A $500 deposit must be paid within 24 hours of winning this auction. 

The car must be picked-up within 10 days of full payment clearing. 

If the car is not picked-up within 10 days of full payment clearing, commencing on the 11th day after full payment has cleared, I will charge $10 a day storage for each of the next 30 days.  Storage charges must be paid prior to title and possession passing to buyer.

If the car is not picked-up within 40 days of full payment clearing, then I will return any monies that I have received over the $500 deposit and the $300 for storage, and I will sell the car to someone else.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE CONACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEFORE YOU BUY THIS CAR.

IF YOU WANT A PICTURE OF A PARTICULAR AREA, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, AND I WILL TAKE THE PICTURE AND POST IT TO THIS E-BAY AUCTION.

Thank you.

Saab 9-3 production has restarted

Sun, 01 Dec 2013

If 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.

GM recalling 524k vehicles over hood latches and toe link nuts

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

Just hours after confirming to Autoblog its intention to recall 97,540 vehicles in the US (117,651 in North America) for a possible manufacturing defect in the chassis control module of several models, General Motors is issuing two more campaigns that affect another 379,401 units in the US (524,384 in North America).
One campaign covers 290,107 US examples of the 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX and the 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X because the "rear toe link adjuster lock nuts" may be improperly torqued. If not up to spec, the toe adjuster link could separate and allow the wheel to shift while driving, making the handling unstable. GM says that it knows of three crashes and two injuries as a result of this problem. Dealers are inspecting the nuts and installing a new link assembly, if necessary. Autoblog first reported about this potential issue when it showed up on a list of recalls from Transport Canada.
The second recall is for 89,294 examples of the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark in the US manufactured from January 17, 2012, through July 29, 2014. According to GM, "corrosion can cause the secondary hood latch striker to stick in the open position." If this happens, and the primary latch also isn't engaged for some reason, the hood could fly open while driving. About 13,000 of these affected Sparks are at dealers and are being held until repaired. The fix requires replacing the hood striker. GM isn't aware of crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem.

Victor Muller to pay Sweden back taxes for Saab work

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

Victor Muller, Saab's CEO from 2010 to 2011, has been ordered by the Swedish court to pay the back taxes he owes the country for his work at Saab, Autoweek and Volkskrant report. When he was the automaker's CEO he received a salary of about 8 million Swedish Krona ($1.25 million), which was recorded as a reward for consultancy work for a company in the US that Muller owns. The move allowed him to evade taxes for awhile, but the court has ordered him to pay taxes on his full salary.
Muller, who is also CEO of Spyker, and two other Saab executives were accused of accounting fraud in May, which took place in 2010 and 2011. According to reports, Muller maintains that he is not subject to taxes in Sweden.
