My sister in law asked me to find her a nice safe car for very little money.  I found this one for her.  I chose it over all the other Saab 9000s because the interior was much better than the others I looked at, it remains in this condition.  The seats are nice leather in good shape by my standards and considering the age of the car, please look at the photos.  Additionally, the person we got it from told us that everything had been fixed on it and it had signs of maintenance.  It has been about 2 years since and my sister in law fixed all the remaining known problems and recently added new tires.  Overall, this car is in good shape, please look at the photos.  


Please keep in mind that this is a 17 year old car.  If you want perfect, please buy a new car.  I feel it is better than most of this vintage (please look at the pictures to make your own assessment.  When you drive this car, it feels solid and has good power.  We just checked the oil at the end of 5000 miles and the oil still looks clean!  I have heard of these engines going 400,000 when maintained.  

She uses this car every day.  There are only four issues on the negative side that we know about.  The first is that there is an after market radio in it that very rarely works.  The second is that there is a tooth missing or compromised in either the starter motor or the flywheel because every other start it makes this clurrunggg noise when you start it.  But, it always starts.  It is an annoying issue that my mechanic suggests we ignore.  Third, the driver side heated seat no longer works.  Finally the check engine light is on, but our mechanic checked it out and said that it is a false reading and that they are too sensitive.  Our mechanic is famous on the west coast for Saabs and has taken care of all of our Saabs.  He told us that it was a good car and we should not sell it.  As this car is used every day and is 17 years old, another small issue may come up during this auction, but there are really no major concerns at this time.

My sister in law came into some money recently.  She wants a newer car and asked me to sell this one.

I have tried my best to describe this car as it is.  If you have any questions please ask them before the end of the auction.  If you live near Corvallis Oregon and would like to see the car please send me a way to contact you and you can come see the car either in Corvallis or Coos Bay (it goes back and forth for work a lot).

$500 due within 24 hours of the end of the auction.

Happy Bidding.

Saab 9-3 production has restarted

Sun, 01 Dec 2013

If you're one of the small cadre of Saab drivers, first of all, kudos to you. Because as Top Gear pointed out, Saab drivers are among the most intellectual drivers out there. Secondly, we've got good news for you, because the 9-3 has officially resumed production at the Trollhättan plant in Sweden.
For those of you who may not have followed the story, a quick refresher: Founded in 1947, Saab Automobile AB was an independent automaker until 1989 when General Motors began the decade-long process acquiring it. Unable to make it profitable, GM sold Saab to Spyker in 2010, but that Dutch automaker proved unable to make a go of it, either, and finally shut it down a year later. Much of Saab's assets were acquired by National Electric Vehicle Sweden, which in turn is partially owned by the Chinese city of Qingdao, which pledged to get production back online by the end of the year.
NEVS has apparently made good on its promise, bringing 600 workers back to the factory to resume production of the 9-3 much as it was when a workforce of 3,500 labored on it and its stablemates prior to the bankruptcy. The reborn 9-3 will be sold in Sweden and in China, with an electric version to bring some other updates sometime next year.

Saab has ruined all Swedish cars for me

Wed, Feb 10 2016

It's easy to dismiss my hatred of all Swedish automotive manufacturers as a simple result of bad experiences. I mean, we're all products of our own experiences, some we learn from, others we don't, and some we need to be hit over the head with time and time again. I've been hit over the head too many times with Saabs (and one lonely Volvo), and as a result, I can't bring myself to buy a Koenigsegg. It started with a 900 Turbo sedan. You know, the ugly duckling sister of the beautiful two-door coupe that spawned the Aero, which managed to look stunning from the front, and like a child with a full nappy (diaper) at the rear. I bought it at an auction (mistake number one) for $6,500 (AUD) because as a bloke in his early twenties, I wanted to be noticed – and a greasy-haired bespectacled musician driving a turbocharged Swedish luxury car was my way of standing out. On the drive home I noticed two things: one, it handled like it was on rails – it just gripped! And two, the turbo wasn't working. I took my new wheels to the mechanic, who promptly told me a custom exhaust system would solve the problem – mistake number two. During the fitting, Mr. Shonky's Repair Shop managed to fry some computer thingy. I won't try to remember or understand what it was, but he did tell me that it should have been replaced and that I would have to pay for it. I agreed. Mistake number three. Twelve months later I had spent more than double the original purchase price on repairs, and the turbo still wouldn't work. I sold it for about $4,000, and moved on to something more sensible. But the beautiful handling and quirky design had left an itch that I just couldn't scratch. Many cars and motorbikes later, I sold my Mazda RX-8 because it was too perfect. You know those cars that have spotless paint, an unmarked interior, low kilometers, and you're just too damn scared to park it anywhere? Yep, it was one of those. I would spend 30 to 40 minutes trying to find a vacant spot with vacant spots on either side, and even after leaving the car I would walk back to check if anyone had parked next to me. If they did, I moved. Not a low-anxiety vehicle. So I bought my second Saab – this time a 9-5 turbo wagon – from an auction. Wasn't that mistake number one? This one had reasonably low kilometers, and was even on LPG (a fairly common conversion is Australia – just not on Saabs) and only set me back $2,200. I drove it home, and low and behold, the turbo worked!

NEVS to build new Saab models in China's Qingdao

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

National 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.
