Very rare (100 brought in to U.S.) 1997 Saab 900 SE 2.0 Turbo Convertible in Monte Carlo Yellow. This car is virtually flawless. Everything works perfectly, it runs and looks new. It has brand new Michelin tires, Bilstein HP shocks and struts, new brakes. It has been run on Mobil 1 synthetic oil since new. All fluids just changed, including synthetic transmission oil. Power steering, brake fluid, and coolant flushed. I had a Taliafiarro 6 point subframe brace installed to help stiffen the body and prevent body roll. I also added Flowmaster dual exhaust tips, polished 301 stainless steel with rolled tips. The convertible top is also like new, goes up and down perfectly and without hesitation or noise. Top treated with RaggTop conditioner regularly. Interior is black leather. I intended to keep this car for good, which is why I went completely through it, but circumstances have changed, and I need a big car, likely a Saab 9-5 or Saab Combi. (If you have a big car you might like to trade, send me an e-mail. European cars preferred, but might consider something else if it's big, and well-maintained) It has been cared for meticulously, and it shows. The Saab convertibles in Monte Carlo Yellow are extremely rare, and becoming very collectible. The value on them has been rising steadily. (NADA doesn't take note of color and submodels like Talladega etc., so the NADA value is not an accurate guide for certain models/colors such as this one) The car draws attention and raves everywhere it goes, people just love it! It has the original Saab AM-FM-Weather Band-Cassette-CD player with amplifiers and 6 disc CD changer. I replaced the speakers as it had the original speakers. They sounded OK, but were getting tired, so I replaced all of them. The sound is really good. The spoke type wheels currently on the car are from a late model Saab 9-3, but it will also come with the original 3 point Saab wheels shown in some of the photos. Also included are 3 functional remotes. If you're looking for a well-built car that is an attention-getter, fun to drive, needs absolutely nothing, and will become more valuable over time, this one may be for you.

Junkyard Gem: 1988 Saab 900

Tue, Nov 29 2016

Saab had a cult following in North America going back to the two-stroke Saab 96, but it wasn't until the 900 made its debut for the 1978 model year that the marque started to be considered a mainstream – if still a bit odd – brand here. Based on the venerable 99 but seeming a lot more modern, the 900 sold well to those who wanted to drive something sensibly Scandinavian but didn't want the stodginess of a Volvo. These cars were especially popular in Colorado, and I found this high-mile-but-solid '88 in a Denver self-service wrecking yard. Nearly made it to 300,000 miles, but it never got the chance. The key is still in the console-mounted ignition switch, and the steel lanyard indicates that this car went to the wrecking yard via an insurance-company or dealership-trade-in auction. Since the car has no major body damage, that means that its final owner traded it in – reluctantly, we hope – on another car, and nobody was willing to bid over scrap value for the elderly Swede at auction. Most such auctions have an arrangement with a local wrecking yard to take all the unsold cars for a set price, and that's what we can assume happened to this car. Chances are that it was still in running condition when it showed up here. You could get a 1988 Saab 900 with a three-speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission, but I can't recall having ever seen one so equipped. Most Saab 900 buyers insisted on manuals. The engine in this car is a slant-four based on the same Triumph engine used in the Triumph TR7. By the 1980s, Saab had made sufficient improvements to the design that it was several orders of magnitude more reliable than its British Leyland ancestors. This one made 110 horses, which did an acceptable job of moving the car's 2,695 pounds. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

NEVS completes Saab purchase, earns right to brand name but not griffin badge

Mon, 03 Sep 2012


According to the Associated Press, a Hong Kong-based concern is close to building new Saab models. After some delays, National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) has completed the purchase of bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab.
NEVS says it plans to debut an electric vehicle in about 18 months. When the car comes to market, it will wear the Saab name, but not the marque's well-known griffin logo. Reuters reports that the company will produce EVs based on the Saab 9-3 platform, with intentions to sell these vehicles primarily in the Chinese market. Due to the continued use of the distinctive griffin head logo by commercial truckmaker Scania and the Saab aerospace group, NEVS was only granted access to the Saab name, not its emblem.

Turkey buys rights to Saab 9-3 for domestic car

Mon, Oct 19 2015

Just in time for Halloween, a Saab is rising from the dead. National Electric Vehicle Sweden, which controls the Swedish automaker, is selling the intellectual property rights for the second-generation 9-3 to the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK). This government-supported agency intends to turn the sedan into the "Turkish National Car," according to NEVS. Using the aging 9-3 as a backbone, Turkey intends to strengthen the nation's auto industry by producing an extended-range electric vehicle by 2020, Daily Sabah reports. The goal is for 85-90 percent of the components to come from the country. "From design to production, Turkey will be the center for all parts and processes regarding the first domestically produced car," Interim Science, Industry and Technology Minister Fikri Isik said to Daily Sabah. TUBITAK considered developing its own vehicle from scratch but calculated at least $1 billion in costs. Without going into specific detail, Isik said that buying the rights to the existing Saab turned out to be a better option. Despite having sold the 9-3 IP, NEVS is signing on to help with a business plan and to create the necessary supply and distribution chains for the EV. NEVS previously tried to revive the 9-3 itself by briefly continuing production and attempting to launch an electric version. Earlier this year, it partnered with Dongfeng to develop green vehicles. The company has been beset with financial problems, embroiled in a seemingly interminable post-bankruptcy reorganization progress. NEVS has been chosen by TUBITAK as its partner for developing a Turkish National Car TUBITAK, (the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) which has been assigned to develop "Turkish National Car" and realize this important mission, has chosen National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB, Nevs, as the industrial partner for the project. The cooperation has started in June 2015 between Nevs and TUBITAK and future industrial synergies in terms of development and manufacturing shall be generated with this cooperation. In the short term perspective this cooperation shall put Nevs' assets to work and shall give Turkey quick access to extensive automotive knowledge and experience. Nevs shall also provide its know-how in the developing of the business plan and establishing of the supply and distribution chains to TUBITAK.
