Year:1999
Mileage:160000
Location:
Albany, New York, United States
|
A nice, fun, cruise-around-the-countryside summery cranberry red Saab 9-3 Convertible (cabriolet) turbo with automatic transmission in good running condition but has some things that will need attention. Almost 160,000 miles, tires VG but not new, top excellent condition (and works beautifully), body VG with very slight signs of rust in a couple places on the edges. No damage, some slight scuffs and wear to paint, some scuffing to bumpers. Interior showing wear to driver's seat (the leather has split at the seams) and some dirt to back seat and to shelf behind back seat (as shown in pics). Just had major service done to oil system (cleaned internal screen, etc.), has a new radiator and the appropriate hoses as of last week, fairly new brake pads, new power steering lines, etc. I've maintained it well and kept it running for 6 1/2 years since buying it used in Saratoga. All receipts. Has had its own garage all along. Upcoming problems: turbo sounds whiny (but no smoke in exhaust--it appears to be a leaking the blowback tubes, and I'm getting that fixed if possible), and slight noise from exhaust system (which has been that way for a couple years). Come see it to get the whole story. A great car that is showing its age. I've put a lot into it in the last 2 years and it's at that point where it might need someone who can work on it themselves or be willing to service things as they arise.

Saab owners NEVS denied creditor protection by Swedish court
Thu, 28 Aug 2014The 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.
Victor Muller to pay Sweden back taxes for Saab work
Thu, 03 Oct 2013Victor Muller, Saab's CEO from 2010 to 2011, has been ordered by the Swedish court to pay the back taxes he owes the country for his work at Saab, Autoweek and Volkskrant report. When he was the automaker's CEO he received a salary of about 8 million Swedish Krona ($1.25 million), which was recorded as a reward for consultancy work for a company in the US that Muller owns. The move allowed him to evade taxes for awhile, but the court has ordered him to pay taxes on his full salary.
Muller, who is also CEO of Spyker, and two other Saab executives were accused of accounting fraud in May, which took place in 2010 and 2011. According to reports, Muller maintains that he is not subject to taxes in Sweden.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
