ok, this car > 2000 saab 9/5 > wagon runs and drives as good as it looks. at my home and as photographed; just picked the kids up from school. lousy day, but I have to list this item. please see all photos, I took every good and bad shot there was. again, car runs and drives well.

starts, stops, steers and cruises with no effort. clean and comfy interior. great tires and brakes, steers with total control, stops with confidence, smooth and quiet at speed. great heat, horn, wipers, lights, stereo, heated seats, correct alloys, 4 wheel disc, nice leather seating, full power, moon roof, cargo cover, roof rack, gauges, odometer, windows, defrost, suspension, etc. >> are all A-OK.

a pleasure to drive, around town or cruising. looks like a lot of car. great front wheel drive, nice style, shiny black paint... about as ding, dent and scratch free of a old black car you can find~!~

but, and a big but... this car's engine has a knock, or more lack a rap. noise comes from the top end of the V6 towards the cabin. it is most noticeable at idle and at slow speeds. tooling around town or cruising, it is almost below radar and not disturbing. I am concerned because it will likely not get better or go away, just we are not sure the cause or cure.

great rubber, good brakes, good almost everything... motor has a rap and the check engine light is on. non smoker's car, accident free, clean title, go figure !! this does not appear to be a sludged motor at all; but we do see a new water pump and car may have briefly overheated. tranny shifts great and OD is fine, although seems to be in winter mode or safe mode on when from a dead start. this is not a tranny issue, but a limp mode/safety feature caused by the check engine light. car will be at my mechanic's shop tomorrow (Saturday) and I will share full diagnosis. car is being sold as is, running, 2 keys, books, title, bill of sale, emission report, carfax, etc.

drive it home as is, fix-er-up as you choose. I can help with shipping, transport, motor vehicle paperwork, storage... all at little to no extra cost. happy to help, but please let me know ahead of time if you have an unusual situation ~!~

at time of pick up, you can expect car, keys, title, bill of sale, emission report, key(s), CT DMV Q-1 and booklets as available.

-----please see all photos carefully, I took every good and bad shot I could !!

not a new car, not perfect, not showroom.... but overall great shape and worth a buying. eBay sale price here ~!~ pay only what you want ~~. bid and buy, drive home. car is as shown and at my home; why not drive by, say hi and drive it to your house? clean title and all documents !!

CARFAX Price Adjustment�: Accidents, service records, number of owners and many other history factors can affect a vehicle's value. The CARFAX Price Adjustment is a tool that analyzes millions of used car transactions to measure how the combination of all the information reported to CARFAX affects the value of a particular vehicle. The vehicle's retail book value plus the CARFAX Price Adjustment will give you a more accurate measure of the vehicle's value. Use this tool, along with a vehicle inspection and test drive, to make a better decision about your next used car.
First Owner: When the first owner(s) obtains a title from a Department of Motor Vehicles as proof of ownership.
New Owner Reported: When a vehicle is sold to a new owner, the Title must be transferred to the new owner(s) at a Department of Motor Vehicles.
Ownership History: CARFAX defines an owner as an individual or business that possesses and uses a vehicle. Not all title transactions represent changes in ownership. To provide estimated number of owners, CARFAX proprietary technology analyzes all the events in a vehicle history. Estimated ownership is available for vehicles manufactured after 1994 and titled solely in the US including Puerto Rico. Dealers sometimes opt to take ownership of a vehicle and are required to in the following states: Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and South Dakota. Please consider this as you review a vehicle's estimated ownership history.
Title Issued: A state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of ownership. Each title has a unique number. Each title or registration record on a CARFAX report does not necessarily indicate a change in ownership. In Canada, a registration and bill of sale are used as proof of ownership.
