1995 Saab 900 Se Turbo Hatchback 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Wells, New York, United States
|
I am selling my beloved Saab 900 SE Turbo. I have owned this car for just
over five years and have personally replaced nearly every nut and bolt on it due to
upgrades or maintenance. The car has a long story which I will be
happy to share with you. I wanted a Viggen but I like the look of the hatchback on the 1995, as well as the 2.0L turbo engine.
The work I have done includes but is not limited to the following: Increasingly hard to find Viggen Body Kit, "Viggen" Mitsubishi TD04 Turbocharger, 3” turbo back exhaust, Jak Stoll ECU tune, Taliafero aluminum intercooler, Short throw shifter that retains stock shifter height, front and rear strut tower braces, 1" rear anti roll bar, Bilstein HD dampers, Vogtland progressive rate springs, polyurethane suspension and steering bushings, 9-3 axle update to reduce torque steer, new transmission at 170k, brand new (less than 1000 miles) Viggen clutch and pressure plate and lightweight aluminum flywheel. I installed a new 2.0L engine last fall which I refreshed with every new seal, gasket, and o-ring. New polyurethane engine and transmission mounts. There are plenty of interior upgrades to modernize it like a 9-3. The stereo is a Clarion head unit, Kicker 4" dash speakers, Polk Momo 6"x9" rear deck speakers, Kicker 6.5" mid-bass door speakers and, if the buyer wants, a 10" Kicker L5 sub woofer in the trunk. 3/4 of the car was repainted last year. It has 17" Elbrus wheels with 3/8" wheel spacers for a nice flush tire fitment. The tires have less than 2000 miles on them and are 205/45-17 size General Gmax. It has Zimmerman cross-drilled rotors with EBC Redstuff brake pads with lots of life left on them. The only thing that should be addressed is a rust hole in the spare tire well which I am trying to find time to fix. Unfortunately this is a common problem with this generation Saab due to the shape of the rear hatch. I will take a picture if I can. Otherwise the car is completely rust free and shows excellent. I can take pictures of specifics and answer any questions you have upon request. This car runs VERY strong and is rather quick. It reliably holds about 25psi boost but still maintains 29mpg and stock drive ability aside from the lowered right height. Mechanically it needs nothing and is ready to drive away. The suspension work has done this car well. It holds the road impossibly well and rides fantastic at any speed. I have a folder of receipts and a spreadsheet of when I did much of the initial work that the buyer can have. And to answer the question people always ask; why am I selling it? Because I would like to focus my efforts on a classic car now and I need a garage bay :( |

Saab's never-was 9-3 gets a few better looks
Sat, 23 Mar 2013The recent glimpses we've been getting of the never-was Saab 9-3 Phoenix must be like rubbing salt on the wounds of all the Saab fans out there. If that's the case, diehard Saab enthusiasts might want to look away from this. SaabWorld has uncovered a handful of shots of what was to be the next-generation 9-3 hatchback, and boy does it look sharp.
Revealing a clearer look at what we previously saw in grainy images or as a full-scale model, these new pictures show what Jason Castriota had in mind for the new car. The front end is obviously inspired by Saab's Phoenix Concept, while the rear of the car pays homage to the Saab 900 hatchback.
We like the overall look. Let us know what you think in the Comments.
Mahindra eying stake in Saab owner NEVS?
Tue, 17 Jun 2014It's ironic that Saab's current vehicle architecture is called the Phoenix platform, because like the mythological bird, the company keeps returning from the ashes. That's right, the embattled Swedish automaker isn't completely dead yet. Again. Actually, it may be facing yet another buyout, and this time, the buyer may be from India.
Less than a month ago, the situation looked ominous for Saab. National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the carmaker's current owner, temporarily shut down 9-3 production at its Trollhättan factory not long after restarting it in the first place. According to Just Auto, it laid off about 100 consultants allegedly linked to problems making June payroll, as well. At the time, Saab claimed that the measures were temporary, and it was negotiating selling part ownership to another automaker.
Those assertions might have some truth behind them, it seems. Indian newspaper The Economic Times reports that Mahindra & Mahindra and an unnamed Asian automaker are negotiating with NEVS to purchase part of the company. It claims that the Indian automaker sees Saab as an opportunity to add a premium brand to its business.
What brands have Saab owners defected to? Polk investigates
Sun, 02 Sep 2012When a brand goes belly-up, it's natural for analysts to wonder where that brand's consumers will turn. General Motors has mothballed more car brands the last decade than most other automakers' have in their entire portfolios, so "Where did [insert brand here] buyers go?" has been a common question asked of The General. According to reports, it didn't do so well at retaining Oldsmobile owners (who supposedly went to Hyundai), or Hummer and Saturn buyers, but did get some return love from Pontiac owners.
A consultant with Polk has turned the loyalty lens on Saab. The Polk Disposal Loyalty Methodology tracks owners selling vehicles within six months of buying a new one. In 2010 and 2011, Polk found that when Saab died, owners went right up the middle of the mainstream to Honda. It was close, though, with just 0.2 percent separating Honda from number two Volkswagen. Audi comes in third.
After that it's back to the masses with Toyota, Chevrolet and Ford trumping import luxury brands. And if you combine all of the General Motors brands that Saab owners have migrated to, GM more than doubles Honda with a 15.2-percent share, so all the love is not lost.
