1999 Saab 9-5 Wagon, near perfect body with just a very few small scuffs and tiny rock chips, no dings, dents or paint flaws, see pics. Black leather interior in great shape, heated front and rear seats with power controls and 3-way memory settings; small cracks and a single hole in front of drivers seat and cracked leather on center console, otherwise in perfect condition. 2.3L turbo engine with 4 speed automatic transmission is super reliable, has never let us down, powerful and economical. Stock Garrett turbo upgraded with brand new Mitsubishi GT unit from Saab 9-5 250 HP Aero model, nice increase in highway passing power and economy over stock - regularly returns 28+ MPG at 75+ hwy speeds, capable of over 32 MPG at steady 65 MPH. All engine and transmission mounts were replaced as a maintenance item less than 1000 miles ago, greatly smoothing out vibration at idle most 9-5s are known for. No leaks or drips. Silicone intercooler hoses and vacuum lines installed with new turbo. Mobil One synthetic oil and fluids throughout.
Rear seat is a 60/40 split and folds to form a long load floor - lots of room back there for camping, groceries or whatever you might need to carry. Continental Extreme DWS (Dry, Wet, Snow) all-weather Ultra-high-performance (UHP) 16" radial tires on stock Saab rims, no curb rash or oxidation. Brakes, suspension, steering all tight and work as they should. Both Sport and Winter shift modes work well. SID rebuilt a few years back, no missing pixels and all functions work. Radio & CD player sound good, has stock subwoofer built into cargo area and you can crank it! Cold AC and working heat front and rear. Cruise control, tilt wheel, front, rear and headlight wipers with new blades. Sunroof works perfectly in both modes and seals well, no water or air leaks. All glass and mirrors intact, headlights and other lenses are bright and shiny with no oxidation, power mirrors occasionally intermittent and fog light cover on one side is cracked. Has been a California/Arizona vehicle for many years so there is absolutely NO rust anywhere, body and chassis are solid and clean as can be. There is a trailer hitch and 4-pin wiring harness from a previous owner but we've never used it. Couple of small items for complete disclosure - 1: SID will occasionally display false errors such as front or rear light failure and check coolant level when there are no faults. As these go away with the push of a button never gave it much thought after confirming time and time again that there are no actual problems. 2: AC is cold (44 degrees) but left side driver's dash vent blows warm air only - a known Saab issue involving the driver side flapper door motor. All other vents work fine and the faulty vent can be completely shut off so again this does not present a problem in use. 3: Cruise control will always set fine the first time you use it but sometimes will not reset after hitting the brakes - sometimes this resolves itself right away, sometimes it takes a few miles but always eventually starts working again. At this time, these are the only issues I am aware of. This is a fine example of a clean, well maintained Saab 9-5 turbo wagon which needs nothing to enjoy driving day in and day out. This has been our long-distance travel wagon and has been smooth, comfortable and reliable on any number of 1000+ mile trips - we are only selling as we needed a manual shift wagon to flat-tow behind our motorhome, so it's been replaced by a Passat turbo wagon, which is almost, but not quite, as nice to drive as the Saab! We'll miss it! NO Reserve! Saab is sold as-is, where-is with no warranty expressed or implied. Buyer responsible for all shipping and/or travel costs, seller will cooperate with all reasonable arrangements for shipping or pickup in person. We welcome and encourage inspections during the auction period, located in Ash Fork AZ, 50 miles from Flagstaff or Prescott. Fly in to Flagstaff, Prescott, Phoenix or Las Vegas airports and drive home. Clear AZ title, no issues. Check our 100% feedback, we strive to always show items in their true condition. Thanks much for looking and have a great time bidding! |

New owners still struggling to secure rights to use Saab name
Wed, 27 Jun 2012Not 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.
Best and Worst GM Cars
Thu, Apr 7 2022Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded. While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.
Are orphan cars better deals?
Wed, Dec 30 2015Most folks don't know a Saturn Aura from an Oldsmobile Aurora. Those of you who are immersed in the labyrinth of automobilia know that both cars were testaments to the mediocrity that was pre-bankruptcy General Motors, and that both brands are now long gone. But everybody else? Not so much. By the same token, there are some excellent cars and trucks that don't raise an eyebrow simply because they were sold under brands that are no longer being marketed. Orphan brands no longer get any marketing love, and because of that they can be alarmingly cheap. Case in point, take a look at how a 2010 Saturn Outlook compares with its siblings, the GMC Acadia and Buick Enclave. According to the Manheim Market Report, the Saturn will sell at a wholesale auto auction for around $3,500 less than the comparably equipped Buick or GMC. Part of the reason for this price gap is that most large independent dealerships, such as Carmax, make it a point to avoid buying cars with orphaned badges. Right now if you go to Carmax's site, you'll find that there are more models from Toyota's Scion sub-brand than Mercury, Saab, Pontiac, Hummer, and Saturn combined. This despite the fact that these brands collectively sold in the millions over the last ten years while Scion has rarely been able to realize a six-figure annual sales figure for most of its history. That is the brutal truth of today's car market. When the chips are down, used-car shoppers are nearly as conservative as their new-car-buying counterparts. Unfamiliarity breeds contempt. Contempt leads to fear. Fear leads to anger, and pretty soon you wind up with an older, beat-up Mazda MX-5 in your driveway instead of looking up a newer Pontiac Solstice or Saturn Sky. There are tons of other reasons why orphan cars have trouble selling in today's market. Worries about the cost of repair and the availability of parts hang over the industry's lost toys like a cloud of dust over Pigpen. Yet any common diagnostic repair database, such as Alldata, will have a complete framework for your car's repair and maintenance, and everyone from junkyards to auto parts stores to eBay and Amazon stock tens of thousands of parts. This makes some orphan cars mindblowingly awesome deals if you're willing to shop in the bargain bins of the used-car market. Consider a Suzuki Kizashi with a manual transmission. No, really.
