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 |

NEVS to build new Saab models in China's Qingdao
Thu, 10 Jan 2013National Electric Vehicle Sweden has officially signed a deal with Qingdao Qingbo Investment Company that will see the NEVS build EVs in Qingdao, China. The move is the first step on the road toward eventually selling vehicles in China. Reuters reports that the Chinese company has agreed to invest $307.33 million, after which point Qingdao Qingbo will receive 22 percent of the NEVS shares. Currently, there's no word on exactly when the funds and shares will change hands, but the Swedish automaker has previously said it fully intends to launch its first EV by early 2014.
NEVS has also made waves about potentially building a version of the old Saab 9-3 with a traditional internal combustion driveline. Currently, the manufacturer says it plans to ship the vehicles it builds in Sweden to the Qingdao port and distribute them to the rest of China from there. Later down the line, a manufacturing facility in Qingdao will supply the country with Chinese-built Saab models.
GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
Saab begins 9-3 EV pilot production
Thu, 10 Apr 2014To say that Saab has had a tough time lately would be like saying that it's been a little colder than usual this winter. After General Motors finally gave up and sold it to Spyker in 2010, Saab declared bankruptcy the following year. GM successfully blocked Spyker from selling Saab to Chinese automaker Youngman the following year, but ultimately it ended up in the hands of another Chinese consortium called NEVS. Standing as it does for National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the new owners promised not only to restart production of the long-suffering 9-3, but also to turn it into an electric vehicle. And that's just what it's doing.
The latest news coming out of Sweden indicates that NEVS/Saab has started building the first examples of the 9-3 EV. These first 200 or so examples are set to be shipped off to Qingdao - the Chinese city that is home to the Tsingtao brewery, hosted the sailing components of the 2008 summer games on Beijing, was supposed to host an IndyCar race in 2012 before it was canceled, and also itself just happens to own 22 percent of NEVS.
These first EVs have their batteries mounted down low in the chassis for a low center of gravity and have a range of about 20 miles on a full charge. That's absolutely paltry compared to the other EVs on the market: a Nissan Leaf will travel more than four times that distance, and a Tesla Model S will go ten times farther on a charge.
