1997 Saab 900 S Convertible 2.3l Fwd Cd New Brakes - Runs Great, Loaded! on 2040-cars
Fishers, Indiana, United States
1997 SAAB 900 S 2-Door Convertible FWD I bought a new truck a couple months ago and I don't need two vehicles and can't afford insurance for both cars. Has power windows/doors & push button convertible top, but is very slow since the car is so old Leather seats. The front seats have some wear and cracking due to the water, but rear seats are in great condition SONY 6-Disc CD changer Brand new brakes on it earlier this year ($560.00) Has a spare tire and car jack equipment (which has never been used) in the trunk Has some cosmetic wear, but nothing unusual for a high milage vehicle. Brand new tires last year, and have about 10,000 miles on them. (I can find the paperwork and receipt if you like)... Car is missing a piece that fell off last year. It's a small piece that's only visible when the top is down. I've tried to replace it but they don't make these parts anymore. I'm not sure what it's called, but I've included a picture of it. You only even notice it when top is down and doesn't affect the way the car runs in any way. (You can probably find a replacement part at a junkyard or somewhere online)... The driver's side front door handle broke off a couple months ago. I did get a replacement door handle for it I just don't have the time or the expertise to install it. I will include the replacement door handle with the vehicle purchase. Thanks I also have a lot of the paperwork for the car for just about everything I have had done to it, including new tires, brakes, fan/timing belt, battery, oil changes, air filters, etc... If you have ANY questions please feel free to ask me. Thank You |

First test drive shows promise of Saab 9-3 EV
Tue, Sep 16 2014We can't read Swedish, so when it comes to a first-drive review of a Saab 9-3 electric-vehicle prototype, we'll trust Inside EVs' translation of a write-up from Swedish automotive publication Elbilen i Sverige. And it's a decent one. The write-up, that is. The translation, too, we hope. Taken to the test track, the Saab was found to be quieter than a Tesla Model S and had the stability commensurate for a car that tipped the scales at about 4,000 pounds. The sedan accelerated from 0 to 62 miles per hour in 10 seconds, though the goal is to bring that time down to 8.5 seconds. The prototype also uses a 37-kWh prototype battery made by China-based Kai Johan Jiang Annual National Modern Energy Holdings that should be good for over 180 miles (and there's room for a bigger pack in the car, apparently). The 9-3's electric motor will be able to deliver 200 horsepower but, for testing purposes, it was limited to about 140 horsepower. The overall impression was that the car is not yet ready for prime time, but has a lot of promise. When prototype becomes production is the real question, given the financial condition of Saab parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS). The company acquired the brand in 2012 and started making cars at Saab's Trollhattan plant in Sweden last year, but production stopped in May because of cash-flow issues. Late last month, Swedish courts denied NEVS protection from its creditors, so the company is now looking to restructure.
3 former Saab execs charged with tax evasion
Mon, 20 May 2013The Associated Press reports three former Saab executives have been arrested on charges of accounting fraud. Swedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren has refused to identify the individuals, but says they're suspected of attempting to evade taxes by falsifying Saab accounts between 2010 and 2011 during the Spyker years. Other reports indicate the parties involved include former General Counsel to Saab Kristina Geers (seen to the left of former CEO Victor Muller, above), a 15-year-veteran of the company - her husband, Eric, was the company's communications director for 9 years as well.
Saab filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and was purchased shortly thereafter by National Electric Vehicle Sweden. If convicted, the trio could face up to four years in prison for their crimes under Swedish law.
Grainy leaked images show stillborn Castriota-designed Saab 9-3
Mon, 04 Feb 2013The Saab faithful are going to be playing the "what if" game for years to come. It's one of the burdens of being a fan of a dead brand. A fresh batch of grainy 9-3 Phoenix images have made their way online, alleged shots of a design proposal penned by none other than Jason Castriota. The five-door looks to feature an honest liftback, though SaabsUnited.com says this particular vehicle was drawn up as part of a business plan in early 2011. As such, Castriota apparently told the site the final product was to look much more athletic than what we see here. While the low-resolution images make it difficult to tell much about the design, we certainly appreciate the familiar roofline, full band taillamps and the contrasting rear spoiler reminiscent of the old Saab 99 and 900 ducktails.
Unfortunately, we know all too well why this creation never saw the light of day. Would-be savior Victor Muller couldn't quite pull Saab out of its nosedive, and the company fell into bankruptcy before the 9-3 Phoenix could get off the ground. There's talk of the Phoenix platform and Saab brand having new life in other markets as EVs and even as gas cars, but the model seen here will likely never see production - let alone North American showrooms.
