2002 Saab 9-3 Se 2.0l Turbo Convertible Needs Motor on 2040-cars
Bushkill, Pennsylvania, United States
Hi, I purchased this car knowing there was motor problems. It was such a nice looking car I couldn't pass it up. I actually bought it to fix and give it to my daughter to commute to school but she is changing schools and doesn't need it. I drove the car for about 100 miles and the motor gave up, one of the rods shot through the bottom of the engine. A big plus with this car is the 8th letter in the title is a "K" which means this car has a high pressure motor that gives you more hp than a regular 2.0 engine. For the miles that I drove it everything seemed fine. The tranny seemed to be shifting fine, brakes seemed good, no pulling in the front, tires seem like they are wearing normal in the front and no shaking on the highway. All the options work perfect and the time I spent in the car there was no problems with any of the buttons. Headlight wipers work, convertible top works with ease, ( I was really impressed how the top goes down) Also,in the trunk you have the option to tie up the the convertible storage box up when your not using it for more storage space. Tires are in fair shape and the spare tire looks like it was never used. It does have new mats that came with the car but they don't look like the original ones. Also, when I got it home and scraped off the dealer writing on the windshield I noticed a pebble ding on the windshield. I may have one to give you if you purchase the car, I have to pick it up in NY. The miles are pretty good for the year, there are some scratches, dings and dents on the passenger rear quarter panel, they could probably be banged out from the inside of the trunk. I hope I told you everything and I will post pictures of the known problems so there are no surprises. I am trying to explain everything honestly and the best of my ability. Please, if you have any questions feel free to ask. Also if you need to see a picture of something I could send you one. If you purchase this vehicle you are responsible to pick it up, have a towing service or If its not too, too far I can deliver it for a fee.....Thanks for looking!

Dealership refunds student for broken Saab with bags of pennies
Fri, Jul 25 2014Every so often, we come across the story of someone trying to "stick it to the man" by paying a parking fine or speeding ticket in pennies or dimes. Never, though, have we heard of a business stooping to such cliched lengths. Enter Florida. Irena Mujakovic bought a 2003 Saab way back in January from Holiday Motors, in Jacksonville, FL. Shortly after the purchase, the transmission started acting up. She returned to the dealer and paid for the repair, and purchased a warranty for future issues. Total cost: $300. But then the trans crapped out not long after the initial repair, and Mujakovic was back at Holiday Motors. This is where things start going south. This second trip cost Mujakovic $400, with her warranty in hand. That's because the man that runs the dealer, Ed Di Miranda, neglected to mention that the warranty didn't cover labor costs. "The warranty did not cover labor and I failed to write that in and that was her loophole," Di Miranda told First Coast News. The young college student filed a complaint with the Florida DMV, who sided with her and ordered Holiday Motors to refund the money. Di Miranda and the dealership did just that, but when Mujakovic came to collect her refund, it was to a bag of pennies, with a few dollar bills sprinkled in for good measure. Di Miranda, doesn't seem to think he's done anything wrong, claiming that only about $85 was in change, while the rest was paper money. "I am doing what DMV asked me to do," Di Miranda said. "It is legal tender." Mujakovic has not collected her refund. Have a look below for the video news report. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Super sleeper Saab 900 does 174 mph in the standing mile
Sun, 14 Apr 2013Somewhere behind Hennessey setting a new top speed record at this year's Texas Mile with its camouflage Ford GT, a stock-looking 1996 Saab 900T pulled up to the line to see what it could do. The dealer showroom wheels wouldn't offer any indication that the 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood was getting help from a Garrett turbocharger, a tuned ECU and E85 gas to put out 465 horsepower at the front wheels.
Knowing that, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that at the other end of the mile the sky blue Swedish wonder was doing 174 miles per hour. The four-cylinder class at the Texas Mile has plenty such rockets, too, this Swede coming just behind a Dodge Neon that did 175.8 mph. You can watch the Saab do its thing in the video below.
Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion
Fri, May 27 2016The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.
