This is a pretty good running SAAB . I was using it as a daily driver , but I quickly realized I needed a pickup for construction side work. I bought this car on EBAY from a gentleman that said it needed a starter, and he had no idea why it was a flood vehicle. I quickly realized it wouldn't start because the engine was full of antifreeze and the pistons were in pieces. ( interference engine ) I put a used engine with 75,000 miles on it, new timing belt, new stainless exhaust, head gasket, and new brakes. I also put a new blend motor on the HVAC system. Recent tune up. This car got me about 28-30 mpg average. The engine is a turbo and it has some get up and go. The interior is in Ok condition, the previous owners dog chewed up the storage bin cover. ($50 on ebay) No rust , a few scratches , and a few parking lot dents. The sunroof is a great feature and works great. The transmission shifts good, synthetic fluid. I have all receipts. I will sell this car with the timing tool ( $94) if it gets over $1500. The ac worked last summer. The LED on the radio needs replacing , a common SAAB issue. If you are looking for a cheap car that is not some ugly brown taurus , looks good going down the road ( with a little pep) this is a good one for you . Car comes AS-IS with no warranty . I have described everything that I know is wrong with it. I have receipts for the engine, exhaust, brakes etc. I just changed a camshaft gasket to sell. I do not have it registered , and I haven't been able to drive it long distances. If you buy it from far away, I would trailer it home just in case.

There will be five new SAAB EVs, starting in 2017

Thu, Dec 17 2015

National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), which bought Swedish automaker Saab out of bankruptcy in 2012, has finally solidified some of its vehicle-making plans. And given the prominence of the word "electric" in the company's name, NEVs is staying true to its vision, announcing that it will have five electric vehicle models for sale by 2018. The company recently made the announcement in Stockholm, according to Saab Blog. The first EV will be based on the Saab 9-3 platform and may be available in China and Sweden by 2017. The following year, NEVS is planning to debut four more all-electric models, including a sports car, SUV, crossover, and a fastback. The cars will be assembled in Tianjin, China. Whether the Saab badge will actually be used remains in question, as NEVS is no longer affiliated with the Saab AB aerospace company. Making things even potentially murkier is the fact that NEVS said this fall that it would sell the intellectual property rights for the 9-3 to the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK), which would make the model the official Turkish National Car. Then again, nothing's been simple for Saab, which has passed through General Motors and Spyker and has had multiple reorganizations. Either way, the plan follows up a summer announcement that NEVS would work with China-based automaker Dongfeng Motor Corp. to develop electrified vehicles. Dongfeng has worked with electric-vehicle leaders Nissan and Renault as well as Honda, Kia and Peugeot. The company made more than 3.8 million vehicles in 2014.

Son surprises mom with her dream car, a 1973 Saab 99

Wed, Aug 13 2014

Often, it feels like the news is just a never-ending stream of one depressing headline after another. It can be so liberating to see something positive and uplifting every once in a while. Just look at the ecstatic expression on this mother's face after receiving her dream car from her son. Mom has some seriously quirky taste too: she isn't after a muscle car or a two-seat droptop; instead, it's a 1973 Saab 99 EMS in a very '70s shade of copper at the top of her wish list. According to the video, it took her son about a year to track down this hunk of Swedish steel and save up the money to purchase it. Though, judging from his mom's reaction, it was worth every penny. She puts together what's going on with the Saab pretty quickly and immediately starts swearing at her son – out of love, of course. If you're feeling a little blue, consider this a much-needed pick-me-up. Watching the unbridled joy of someone getting something that they always wanted just feels wonderful.

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.
