For sale 2004 Saab 9-3 T Convertible, automatic with 112K miles. Has Florida CLEAN title. This is ARC model with big T badge on the back. Has the high-pressure turbo higher output engine with 210hp. This vehicle is fully loaded with leather interior, power windows, mirrors, and convertible top. Has automatic digital climate control, upgraded audio system, factory HID Xenon bright headlights, wood steering wheel and more.

 

Engine has fresh oil, runs and drives beautiful with plenty of power and the transmission shifts very smooth. Tires are pretty good with about 80% left on them. It was always maintained at the local ‘Shumacher’ Saab dealership, comes with all the manuals and tons of receipts!!! I always take a good care and never spare any cost! Has many new parts including new computer and key recently $1200 bill, just to mention few. Adult driven, never raced or abused! Premium gas was always used. Paint is really nice and shiny, no rust whatsoever its Florida car! The only flaw in the paint is the passenger door and quarter panel has light scratch/door ding that is shown on the pictures. Nothing serious that sticks out or is immediately noticeable!!! Leather interior is nice and clean as well, very minimal normal wear on the driver seat (see pictures). All the buttons and lights work properly and the glove box can be locked for safety when the top is down.

Convertible top operates flawlessly, the fabric is nice and tight and seals really good with no leaks. Saabs are notorious for convertible hydraulic cylinders leeks and they are inevitable to be serviced at some point. This is factory flaw; Saab use wrong seals in the manufacturing process that eventually fails and leeks. Both tonneau cover cylinders that are the usual culprit of this system were rebuilt about a month ago to the better than original specifications (cost me $250 each,) and the whole system was filled with fresh Pentosin Long-Life CHF 11S Synthetic Hydraulic Fluid!  (It is very important to use correct hydraulic fluid to prevent future leeks!!!) You can see the pictures of the cylinders, there is absolutely no hydraulic fluid leeks.

 

If you are out of state bidder I can pick you up at the local airport, that is Fort Lauderdale or airport designation FLL if you trying to book a flight.

 

Purchaser is responsible arrange shipping and for all the transportation charges if the vehicle will be shipped!!!

 

If you have any question please ask before you bid. Thanks for looking

Ultra-rare 2011 Saab 9-4X up for grabs on Cars & Bids

Sun, Aug 1 2021

Saab's sad saga is full of might-have-beens and missed opportunities. As the 21st century dawned, it became clear that the Saab brand could not survive without an SUV in its lineup. In 2005, the 9-2X, a badge-engineered Subaru Impreza Outback Sport, was rushed into production (GM being a part-owner of Subaru parent company Fuji Heavy Industries at the time). That same year same GM also put a new nose on the distinctly mediocre Chevrolet TrailBlazer and peddle that as the Saab 9-7X. The last of the GM-based Saab SUVs was the 9-4X, which was mechanically twinned with the second-generation Cadillac SRX and built alongside it in Mexico. By the time the model was introduced for 2011, GM had already off-loaded Saab. But the new ownership would be short-lived, and production of the 9-4X ended after only a handful of 2012 models had rolled down the line. It's believed that a total of only 803 9-4Xs were built, of which 622 were sold in the United States, which explains why you haven't seen one lately. Or, perhaps, ever. But now you can buy one, as this 2011 example is available right now on Cars & Bids. This is a top-spec Aero version, which means it gets a turbocharged 2.8-liter V6 and the Saab-developed X-drive all-wheel drive, rather than the naturally aspirated 3.0-liter V6 in the base and Premium trims. That gives you 300 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque, although this one sports a VTuner Stage 0 tune, so it could have more. With five days still to go, bidding stands at $8,500. For the Saab fans out there, don't let this be another missed opportunity. Related Video: Saab 9-4X concept introduced at Detroit Auto Show

New owners still struggling to secure rights to use Saab name

Wed, 27 Jun 2012

Not to state the obvious, but if you're going to buy an automaker, it's probably advisable to secure rights to use the name.
That's what the new owners of Saab are trying to work out after buying the iconic Swedish automaker earlier this month, Automotive News reports.
National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), the Chinese-Japanese conglomerate, acquired the company's physical assets, including its factory in Trollhättan, but didn't get rights to use the Saab name and logo. Truckmaker Scania and defense company Saab AB maintain the name and logo rights, and will need to sign off on NEVS using it, according to the publication. The parties are in discussions.

1999 Saab 9-3 Viggen is a Swede worth remembering on MotorWeek

Sun, Aug 30 2015

Today, Saab survives in name only after a protracted series of bankruptcies and attempted comebacks with new owners. At the turn of the millennium, however, the brand was still able to make some great cars, though. MotorWeek is showing off one of its very best in this vintage review for the 1999 9-3 Viggen. The jet-inspired Viggen was the pinnacle of everything Saab's engineers could do at the time. Starting with the standard 9-3, the suspension was hunkered down to improve handling and lower bodywork was added for better aerodynamics. Now that the exterior looked the part, the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder was tweaked to make 225 horsepower and 252 pound-feet of torque. While that output may not sound hugely impressive by modern standards, those were strong numbers in the day, and the following model year made even more power. After some time behind the wheel of the VIggen, MotorWeek came away quite impressed with this Swede. While the Viggen might not have offered the full capability of high-performance, European contemporaries like the BMW M3, Saab really showed its strengths with this model.
