1991 Saab 900 S Convertible 2-door 2.1l (classic) on 2040-cars
|
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. -The car runs well but it is not perfect. Please see, “PROBLEMS,” below. 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. + The car runs well and seems to have a lot of power. The engine seems fairly quiet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROBLEMS: Interior cosmetic - I have shown some, but not all, of those issues in the pictures. The issue includes rips, tears, curling, and missing pieces(s). 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 - Previous owner told me that the top had just been replaced. Later noticed that there was a piece of tape at the bottom of the rear window. Dont 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. Electronics work great! Transmission: The transmission is slightly slipping. When you put the car in reverse, the transmission slips. Also, when the car rapidly goes into overdrive, there is slipping. I have noticed that, if I remove the guide for the shift lever, there is less slipping. Also, I did not notice any slipping during normal forward driving. Tires and wheels: A wheel alignment is needed. The front passenger side tire should be replaced immediately AC: Does not work, not sure. I think it blows hot air. Trunk lock: Can be opened electronically only. Key is stuck inside. Seat belts: The piece that the seatbelts plug into does not hold the seatbelts, and the covers for those pieces are both falling off. Spoler: The passenger side spoiler is currently inside of the car. It has big crack in it, but is still in one piece. 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION Tire Size: Michellin 215/45 ZR 16 86Y Battery: I had to charge the battery when I moved the car to its new location. The battery held the charge and started the car. Other than that, I do not know the status of the battery. Fog Lights: The car has PIIA fog lights.
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. The car must be picked-up within 10 days of full payment clearing. |

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.
Junkyard Gem: 1988 Saab 900
Tue, Nov 29 2016Saab had a cult following in North America going back to the two-stroke Saab 96, but it wasn't until the 900 made its debut for the 1978 model year that the marque started to be considered a mainstream – if still a bit odd – brand here. Based on the venerable 99 but seeming a lot more modern, the 900 sold well to those who wanted to drive something sensibly Scandinavian but didn't want the stodginess of a Volvo. These cars were especially popular in Colorado, and I found this high-mile-but-solid '88 in a Denver self-service wrecking yard. Nearly made it to 300,000 miles, but it never got the chance. The key is still in the console-mounted ignition switch, and the steel lanyard indicates that this car went to the wrecking yard via an insurance-company or dealership-trade-in auction. Since the car has no major body damage, that means that its final owner traded it in – reluctantly, we hope – on another car, and nobody was willing to bid over scrap value for the elderly Swede at auction. Most such auctions have an arrangement with a local wrecking yard to take all the unsold cars for a set price, and that's what we can assume happened to this car. Chances are that it was still in running condition when it showed up here. You could get a 1988 Saab 900 with a three-speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission, but I can't recall having ever seen one so equipped. Most Saab 900 buyers insisted on manuals. The engine in this car is a slant-four based on the same Triumph engine used in the Triumph TR7. By the 1980s, Saab had made sufficient improvements to the design that it was several orders of magnitude more reliable than its British Leyland ancestors. This one made 110 horses, which did an acceptable job of moving the car's 2,695 pounds. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Ultra-rare 2011 Saab 9-4X up for grabs on Cars & Bids
Sun, Aug 1 2021Saab's sad saga is full of might-have-beens and missed opportunities. As the 21st century dawned, it became clear that the Saab brand could not survive without an SUV in its lineup. In 2005, the 9-2X, a badge-engineered Subaru Impreza Outback Sport, was rushed into production (GM being a part-owner of Subaru parent company Fuji Heavy Industries at the time). That same year same GM also put a new nose on the distinctly mediocre Chevrolet TrailBlazer and peddle that as the Saab 9-7X. The last of the GM-based Saab SUVs was the 9-4X, which was mechanically twinned with the second-generation Cadillac SRX and built alongside it in Mexico. By the time the model was introduced for 2011, GM had already off-loaded Saab. But the new ownership would be short-lived, and production of the 9-4X ended after only a handful of 2012 models had rolled down the line. It's believed that a total of only 803 9-4Xs were built, of which 622 were sold in the United States, which explains why you haven't seen one lately. Or, perhaps, ever. But now you can buy one, as this 2011 example is available right now on Cars & Bids. This is a top-spec Aero version, which means it gets a turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 and the Saab-developed X-drive all-wheel drive, rather than the naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V6 in the base and Premium trims. That gives you 300 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, although this one sports a VTuner Stage 0 tune, so it could have more. With five days still to go, bidding stands at $8,500. For the Saab fans out there, don't let this be another missed opportunity. Related Video: Saab 9-4X concept introduced at Detroit Auto Show
