$900.00 OBO, don't be afraid to offer.

Only needs alternator (belt is off for alternator exchange, as well as the tire for access, but the tire will be put back on) to run n go. Brand New Battery, one run in.

the alternator bolt was rounded out, now drilled and harder than my cheap tap bits. I'm getting another truck; don't have the time for this Sweet Bessy. :* t'was magn?fico.

car goes hour and back 4 days a week for school, works all the time except for few times it doesn't, then always back up n running like a beast / platypus.

Basically The unit needs normal repair and has moderate usage at a 198,892 mile Saab, so electronically should be assumed at this point;

the car has the typical factory low voltage never corrected, radio's works comparable the to 90's; digital display is old/missing elements/voltage and security locked, I don't call tech support much, that's what it takes, Once you get the code from them the 6 disk changer is in the trunk. Saab phone conversation.

The driver seat is wonky. Don't press up , serious time and effort to make it go down. also driver seat is slightly damaged; immediate to the exterior of the car.

Occasional non start, most likely due to the low voltage , or a problem with the centrally located ignition switch in the ignition from time and H2O; Different fixes, profit gaining product obsolescence.

It needs most seals ideally for restoration (leaks oil/trans, the power steering from the reservoir bottom - new line and reservoir would be best; get a reservoir from a junker if you can), so take it apart and put it together w/ maintenance checks and minor parts for perfection in soon to be classic taste.

The gear box regulator mechanism, possibly called a neutral safety switch, but Saab style, on top, under the battery, if new replacement $300-400, said to be repairable with cleaning and greasing, mechanical/electrical component. causes gear slip up 1 out of 20-48 days, stuck wont shit for a sec or until it does. needs to be fixed for proper restoration, or child care purposes.

The roof leaks in moderately heavy rain or with sitting, this can be repaired at a shop though at a low cost to value ratio.

Blown spare on Saab normal rim in the trunk.

New valve cover gasket I installed due to small leak, 3 months ago approximately.

Dealership refunds student for broken Saab with bags of pennies

Fri, Jul 25 2014

Every so often, we come across the story of someone trying to "stick it to the man" by paying a parking fine or speeding ticket in pennies or dimes. Never, though, have we heard of a business stooping to such cliched lengths. Enter Florida. Irena Mujakovic bought a 2003 Saab way back in January from Holiday Motors, in Jacksonville, FL. Shortly after the purchase, the transmission started acting up. She returned to the dealer and paid for the repair, and purchased a warranty for future issues. Total cost: $300. But then the trans crapped out not long after the initial repair, and Mujakovic was back at Holiday Motors. This is where things start going south. This second trip cost Mujakovic $400, with her warranty in hand. That's because the man that runs the dealer, Ed Di Miranda, neglected to mention that the warranty didn't cover labor costs. "The warranty did not cover labor and I failed to write that in and that was her loophole," Di Miranda told First Coast News. The young college student filed a complaint with the Florida DMV, who sided with her and ordered Holiday Motors to refund the money. Di Miranda and the dealership did just that, but when Mujakovic came to collect her refund, it was to a bag of pennies, with a few dollar bills sprinkled in for good measure. Di Miranda, doesn't seem to think he's done anything wrong, claiming that only about $85 was in change, while the rest was paper money. "I am doing what DMV asked me to do," Di Miranda said. "It is legal tender." Mujakovic has not collected her refund. Have a look below for the video news report. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Saab owners NEVS denied creditor protection by Swedish court

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

The story of Saab is practically a Greek tragedy at this point. The quirky Swedish automaker that was once known as a pioneer of affordable turbocharging has been followed by years of news that just seemed to keep getting worse. At this point, maybe the brand name should be allowed to fade away into the ether and be remembered for the good times that it gave us.
Saab's latest predicament is that its parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden (or NEVS) has been denied protection from its creditors by the Swedish courts. According to Reuters, the judges called the business' financing plan "vague and completely undocumented." A company spokesperson told Reuters that it plans to appeal.
Seemingly in reaction to the court's decision, NEVS posted a press release on its website announcing that the company had applied "for a reorganization to create more time for the ongoing negotiations." The automaker continues to claim that it's negotiating with two global automakers to sell a portion of the company, possibly Mahindra, but the process is taking longer than it originally predicted. It seems a distinct possibility that this reorganization attempt is simply a way to buy extra time.
