1992 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible, Enthusiast/mechanic Owned, Much Recent Work on 2040-cars
Lynchburg, Virginia, United States
|
This Saab enthusiast owned Classic 900 has been a Britalia Motorworks shop car for the past 6 years. We're sad to see it go, but with recent automotive acquisitions, we're out of space! As with any car we sell, this Saab has been gone through front to back to ensure that all maintenance and systems are at 100%. It has a brand new OE quality Bosal exhaust from the catalytic converter back. We've just rebuilt the front end with all new ball joints and tie rod ends, using OE quality cast parts, not the cheap stamped steel ones. Driver's outer CV joint is new, again with an OE part, and all CV boots are new. We have just replaced the steering rack boots, replaced steering column bushings and topped all that off with a 4 wheel alignment. The engine has just received a tune up with quality Bosch ignition parts and NGK spark plugs. Oil and filter have just been changed, as well as air filter. The crankshaft vibration damper is new, as well as the A/C idler pulley, and all new quality Gates belts installed for alternator, power steering and A/C. The ABS accumulator was also just replaced. Runs out perfectly, transmission shifts great, turbo spools up like it should, uses zero oil between changes.
In the past year, the car has received a new starter, battery cables, plug wires, brake pads and transmission fluid and filter. Detecting a trend? We're obsessive about maintenance, and use quality parts. The Fuzion HRI tires are a few years old, and about 50% tread. With the exception of the cruise control, this is an "everything works" car. Power seats, mirrors, windows, heated rear window, every bulb in the dash, you name it. Even the original factory alarm and remote fob works. The A/C blows cold and the sight glass is clear. It's still charged with R12, but Saab was smart enough to use barrier hoses on the A/C system, so it doesn't seep refrigerant. The car was painted and a new top installed by the last Saab enthusiast owner. The top is in great shape, the hydraulics work perfectly and the body is straight. The factory 3 piece hard top boot is in the original bag in the trunk, and is perfect. The paint job was a mid-grade job, and now we're seeing a couple of pencil eraser sized spots on the trunk lid where the clear coat is separating, and more extensive separation on the hood. There is a little rust bubbling around the passenger front wheel arch. We figure a drain hole must have gotten plugged at some point, as it's the only rust on the car. The floors are perfect. See the detail photos for the body flaws. Like every other Classic 900 we've seen, the top of the dash has some cracks. We've used Leatherique through the years to keep the leather supple, but the drivers seat does have some seam separation and bolster wear. Again, see the photos. The car has an aftermarket Sony CD player we installed, playing through stock speakers. With a driver's side airbag, ABS, A/C, fuel injection etc, this little Saab is the perfect example of a daily driver collectable car. It's modern enough and efficient enough to use every day, but if properly maintained will only appreciate in value. People make admiring comments about it all the time. We've put several thousand dollars worth of parts and labor into this car, and it's ready for the next owner to address the easy cosmetic issues, or simply drive as is and enjoy. We'll happily answer any questions, and welcome a pre-purchase inspection by the mechanic of your choice. We have a recent Carfax print out we'd be happy to fax or email. We've included lots of pictures so you can see exactly what you're getting. A winning bid is a legal obligation to purchase, not an opportunity to inspect and then decide, so be sure before you bid. We've sold many cars on eBay, and have a 100% rating for a reason. Terms are a $500 deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of a winning bid, and full payment and receipt of vehicle within 7 days. Good luck! NOTE: After listing, we see that Autocheck is giving the car a low score as it is calculating 8 owners. If you look at the report you will see that 3 of the "owners" in Wilmington, NC have the same title number. We bought it out of NC, drove the car to Denver, CO which was home at the time, then brought it to VA when we moved. We count 4 owners. It's not really all that important given all the work on the car, but still, it's important that you have accurate information. |

GM recalling 316k vehicles due to headlamp faults
Mon, Dec 1 2014General Motors has announced a recall covering 316,357 vehicles globally, due to the possibility of sporadic or permanent failure of the low-beam headlamps. 273,182 of these vehicles are in the United States, while the remaining affected units are in Canada, Mexico, and elsewhere. This recall includes the 2006-09 Buick LaCrosse (pictured above), 2006-07 Chevy TrailBlazer and TrailBlazer EXT, 2006-07 GMC Envoy and 2006 GMC Envoy XL, 2006-07 Buick Rainier, 2006-08 Saab 9-7X, and 2006-08 Isuzu Ascender. In an email sent to Autoblog, General Motors explains that if the headlamp driver modules are not functioning correctly, "the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate." GM states that this problem does not affect things like high-beams, turn signals, marker lamps, or foglamps. As of this writing, GM states it "has not been able to confirm whether the HDMs in these vehicles caused any vehicle accidents." The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, but the recall has not yet posted to the government agency's website. Scroll down to read the full details in GM's email.

Saab restarts production line in Trollh"attan
Thu, 19 Sep 2013The new owner of Saab, National Electric Vehicle Sweden, has bolted together its first two new cars at the company's traditional home in Trollhättan. The two 9-3 sedans were built to work bugs out of the production line and test newer components before full-scale production starts near the end of the year.
NEVS acting President, Mattias Bergman, issued a statement saying, "Prior to our decision to start production of Saab cars, we need to finalize a few remaining dialogues to build partnerships with suppliers. We now know that the plant is ready for production." First up for NEVS will be gas-powered, turbocharged 9-3s, before bringing a facelifted, electrified variant later next year. There are also plans to rejigger Saab's never-was Phoenix architecture for production, although NEVS needs to excise the remaining General Motors tech from the platform before building anything.
According to a report on Automotive News Europe, once under way, NEVS has set an optimistic target of 120,000 units per year by 2016, with sales focused in Europe and China - there's no official word on if NEVS ever plans to bring the Saab name back to North America.
Chunk of ice smashes man's windshield
Tue, Jan 5 2016Driving a car piled with snow isn't just lazy, it's dangerous. A driver on Interstate 495 South in Massachusetts learned that the hard way last week after a huge chunk of ice flew off the top of an SUV and onto his windshield. Jeffrey Cote's dashboard camera was running as he drove his Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon down the freeway in Haverhill, MA, Wednesday morning. He was following an SUV in the left hand lane. The SUV doesn't appear to have too much accumulation on it, but the owners clearly didn't remove the snow and ice from the very top of the vehicle. A large chunk of ice flew off the top of the SUV, spun through the air and shattered Cotes windshield. Cote's must be one of the cooler heads on Massachusetts' roads. He didn't swerve, or swear or even gasp. Despite being unable to see the road and covered in glass Cotes safely moved over to the right lanes and safely pulled off on to the shoulder after the accident. The ice not only totally destroyed Cote's windshield but damaged a wiper arm and his side mirror as well. "If I had braked harder, I could have avoided impact," Cotes wrote in the video description. "But it initially appeared the piece was going to fall in front of me." Cotes couldn't read the driver's license plate on the footage and told CBS Boston that he doesn't think the other driver even realizes what occurred. He told the news station he hopes the video reminds people to do the right thing and clear the snow off their cars. "Just a few seconds, just try to slam as much ice as possible off your roof," Cotes told CBS Boston. "Because, it could have gone a lot worse, and it could save someone's life if you do a better job cleaning," Cote said. News Source: CBS Boston Saab Driving Safety Videos snow winter driving cold
