I currently have a Saab 9-3 2001 for sale. I purchased this used in August 2012. It is an Automatic transmission with less than 83000k miles. Inspection is good until 7/2013 in PA. This Saab needs a new head gasket. This is common for this model and year. I bought this Saab used in the summer to use as a commuter car. I drove great then and I was fixing it up but then the head gasket blew. I do not have the time or know-how to fix it and I've already got another car to take this one's place. The car will start and run but it smokes from the exhaust so there is no way it could be driven safely or legally until it is repaired. The car would have to be towed or transported somehow by the buyer. This would be a good project car for someone. If you know cars and know how to work on them, then this car would probably cost around $500 to fix, maybe less. The cost is from the gasket that needs replacing, which is fairly cheap, replacing headbolts and getting the head machined at a machine shop. The car never overheated so it's possible that the head is not warped and doesn't need to be machined but it would be safe to do so anyway. The cost to repair would be much more if you take it to a shop to be done. The car has some cosmetic blemishes here and there. The top of the front bumper is scratched up but it would only cost around $75 to get a used replacement bumper to make it pretty. The windshield also has a scratch in it on the driver side. The interior is in good shape although front seats are a bit cracked and worn. The car has had a few parts upgraded and I have uninstalled parts that will also come with the car. See below for details

Installed:
4 New tires, less than 200 miles on them
A New CV joint and arm for the right front passenger side wheel. 
New AC manual controls
New Battery
New Rear rotors and brake pads
New Rear Rotors and Shocks


Uninstalled but included with the car:
New Aftermarket DIC ( Direct Ignition Cassette)
New Fuel Pump (the fuel pump in the car works fine but the sensor in it is broke, causing the gas gauge to read Empty all the time. The new fuel pump comes with sensor to fix this issue)
New Fuel Filter
New Front Rotors and Brake Pads
New PCV Update Kit

I want to reiterate that the car needs a new head gasket and it should not be driven until it is replaced. The buyer is responsible for transport or arranging shipping of the car. Please ask questions before bidding. I will be happy to answer all questions honestly to the best of my knowledge. Local buyers are welcome to come see the car before bidding.

    2014 Saab 9-3 officially relaunched, reborn

    Thu, 05 Dec 2013

    Saab is officially building cars again. Production of the 9-3 Sedan has kicked back off in Trollhättan, Sweden, and the first example is reportedly earmarked for the company's museum. Initial sales are targeted for China, although Swedish customers will also be able to buy new Saabs built in their country right away, too. It isn't immediately clear if the model will be available in the rest of Europe, let alone in North America.
    The initial run of 9-3s will be powered by a 220-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder before an electric model joins the range next year. There are no Biopower or XWD all-wheel-drive models presently in production. And while the lion's share of the 2014 9-3 is a carryover from the pre-bankruptcy car, there are some changes, including a new anti-whiplash seat system and a "greater number of non-GM parts," reports SaabsUnited.
    "I am very proud of the dedication and the focus that NEVS management and employees have demonstrated over the year that has passed since we became owners of the plant in Trollhättan, and who have made this possible. Swedish expertise along with Japanese technology around batteries and new lightweight materials and our Chinese group's focus on green technology is our strength for the future," said Kai Johan Jiang, the founder of Saab's parent company, National Electric Vehicle Sweden.

    Saab to reintroduce 9-3 SportCombi as Phoenix development continues

    Sun, 27 Apr 2014

    The saga of Saab goes to show that you can't keep a good automaker down. Founded back in 1947 (the same year, incidentally, as Ferrari, TVR and Maserati defector OSCA), Saab split off from its aerospace division, merged with Scania trucks, was subsequently picked up by General Motors, then pawned off onto Spyker before its current Chinese owners brought it back out of bankruptcy. Now under the auspices of National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), Saab has official restarted production of the 9-3 sedan, but what are its plans for the future?
    In correspondence with Autoblog, NEVS communications director Mikael Ostlund gave us an idea of what to expect. First of all, NEVS is living up to its name by launching an electric version of the 9-3. As we reported a couple of weeks ago, the 9-3 EV currently is undergoing a pilot launch in the Chinese city of Qingdao (which owns part of NEVS) before being rolled out in other markets around the world. But that's not all NEVS has planned for Saab.
    The reborn Swedish automaker also plans to relaunch the 9-3 SportCombi to supplement the 9-3 sedan. The wagon version was part of the second-gen 9-3's rollout in the early 2000s, offering increased cargo space and versatility - particularly vital since GM had seen it fit to replace the previous hatchback bodystyle favored by the brand faithful with a more traditional trunked form to lure new buyers into the fold. Although Ostlund confirmed that NEVS has "the option of adding the convertible" back into the lineup, nut has yet to decide on if and when it will do so.

    Saab-powered Ford is the most unlikely drift car we've seen

    Tue, Jan 19 2016

    Yes, you read that headline correctly. It's supposed to be a Saab-powered Ford, and not the other way around (although we fully support the notion of a Sonnet with a Flathead V8). Apparently, some lunatic in the UK took an ass-less 1953 Ford Anglia, paired it with a turbocharged Saab engine, and tuned the entire thing to go drifting. We like it. Called Urchfab, it's the subject of Carfection's (the blokes formerly known as XCar) latest video. Aside from looking like an extra from the British version of Mad Max, it has a problem with grip, in that there's just too much of it. This car is a fabber's dream, as we get to see its unnamed owner fashion new bits and bobs for the suspension before having an unfortunate encounter with a wall at Castle Combe. You can check out the full video up at the top of the page for a closer look at this monstrous Anglia. Related Video:
