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.

    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.

    Saab plant reopens, production to resume by year's end?

    Mon, 19 Aug 2013

    Saab is gearing up to start production of the 9-3 again in September, two years after the last exampled rolled off the assembly line at the company's Trollhättan factory, Aftonbladet reports. Saab's new owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS), a Chinese-Japanese consortium created solely to buy Saab, says that the model's parts supply is the bottleneck in the production process, understandable since many of Saab's suppliers closed after it stopped production two years ago. The automaker also needs to establish a new dealership network. It is not entirely clear where Saab will market their new models, but North America is not expected to figure into their plans, at least initially.
    Almost 400 factory employees are reportedly back working at Trollhättan, and Saab is looking to recruit 180 workers to help with production, presuming the factory can overcome its supply issues and go back online in the fall.
    The new 9-3 is understood to be something short of an all-new car, a revision of the old 9-3 that started production in 2002. It will reportedly be offered initially as a four-door sedan and two-door convertible, and it will have a turbocharged engine, according to NEVS, which we expect will be a four cylinder. An electric 9-3 could come as early as next year. Turbocharged engines are part of Saab's DNA, NEVS Vice President Mattias Bergman has stated, and future Saab models will have them - despite the automaker's planned progression toward electric vehicles. The 9-3 will get small facelifts over time, says Mikael Östlund, a press officer at NEVS.

    Junkyard Gem: 1989 Saab 9000 Turbo

    Tue, Jul 24 2018

    Saab got a lot of sales out of its 99 and 99-based 900 models, but a bigger and more modern car became necessary in order to compete with other European manufacturers in the executive-car market. This car was the 9000, and examples are getting very hard to find nowadays. Here's a 200,000-mile turbocharged 1989 Saab 9000 in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard. Other than Mercedes-Benzes and Volvo 240s, I don't see many junkyard 1980s European cars with better than 200,000 miles on the clock. The owner or owners of this Saab loved it enough to keep it in nice shape for a good 30 years, and it drove more than 7,000 miles on average during each year of its life. The engine is the same 160-horsepower turbocharged Saab H that went into the 1989 Saab 900 Turbo. This engine is descended from the Triumph Slant-4, which Americans knew best as the power under the hood of the Triumph TR-7. Members of this engine family remained in production from 1968 through 2009. It has the five-speed manual transmission, which was starting to become an unusual transmission choice for U.S. car buyers by 1989 — even in Saabs. The Scania badging on Saabs went away after 1995. I see plenty of Saab 900s during my junkyard wanderings, but 9000s aren't so easy to find in the big U-Wrench yards in 2018. I'm not sure what's going on with the fabric in this car's door-panel inserts. Saab went with the same ignition-switch location as everybody else with the 9000, rather than the "traditional" spot between the front seats. Naturally, Saab purists were so outraged by this that they ordered another round of surstromming and swore to stick with their two-stroke 96s for the next 30 years.
