This is my wife's 2001 Saab 9-5 Aero. Purchased from Quantrell Caddilac/Volvo/Saab of Lexington, Ky in 2004. Previous owner was one of the salesman's wife. This car has every option available on the Saab 9-5 Aero, too many to list here, but I will list some options not usually mentioned:

Heated front and rear seats. Sport mode button for fun. Winter mode button for bad weather. Wood grain trim console and dash package. Power moon roof, works like new, no leaks. Coolest cup holder in the world. Feel free to look up all the options this car has.

The odometer is currently reading 77,454, BUT this car had a brand new from factory engine installed by Quantrell Saab of Lexington, Ky at the 49,700 mile odometer reading. Covered under warranty. Thus net mileage on new engine is 28K. New MoMo wheels and less than 20K miles on new tires. I have all the paperwork to validate all of the above. Paint job is in excellent condition considering this is a 14 year old car.

Power steering pump apparently failed yesterday, thus the reason for this posting. We had been cosidering selling it anyway due to now having grand children and needing more room for them and their stuff. Car runs great except no power steering. You will need trailer if you want to purchase.

Besides what I believe to be power steering pump failure, the only other issues with the car are that the drivers side window has jumped off track twice since we have owned the vehicle. Local mechanic fixed it both times quickly, stating the plastic track roller broke both times. I have and extra one of these I will give you. The drivers side power door lock is not working but I think it's because the mechanic who fixed the window forgot to connect it. The wood grain trim on drivers side below shifter has curled up a little at the corner and I tried to fix it with glue during cold weather and it cracked and broke off. About in inch in size but still in place. Also the OnStar antenna base has dried and cracked. Other than the above, car looks like new and runs great. Hopefully a Saab collector sees this post because I've had several strangers ask me about this car in the past.

I also have a hard copy Haynes Saab 9-5 Owners Workshop Manual I found on Ebay that I will give you. No modifications have been made to this car. It is 100% stock.

This virtually new, very last Saab 9-3 could be yours

Mon, Oct 7 2019

The date is October 7, 2019, and it is currently possible to buy a virtually new 2014 Saab 9-3 Aero Turbo4. Spiking the car's rarity is the fact that this specific vehicle is said to be the last Saab to roll off the production line in Trollhattan, Sweden. Driven only 41 miles, chassis No. YTNFD4AZXE1100257 is a true piece of Swedish automotive history, and it's set for auction this month. We first got word of this car back in June 2019, and the time has finally come for this Saab to be sold. As previously reported, this vehicle is from the National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) era. The seller, Bilweb Auctions, says it is the last Saab to come off the manufacturing line, and it was reportedly set aside for crash testing. The testing never occurred, and the sedan, one of only 420 built, survived. The seller says the mileage comes from running the car on the test track next to the old plant for photography and videography purposes. This 9-3 Aero uses a Ecotec 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with 217 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. It has immaculate Diamond Silver paint and matching silver turbine wheels. Inside, there is a two-tone interior with cream leather seats, a black dashboard, and black accents. According to Autocar, the proceeds of the auction will go to NEVS' Sustainable Mobility Scholarship at University West in Sweden. Bidding on the car opens soon, and interested parties can sign up to be alerted when the auction starts. Auto News Auctions Saab Sedan

Saab restarts production line in Trollh"attan

Thu, 19 Sep 2013

The new owner of Saab, National Electric Vehicle Sweden, has bolted together its first two new cars at the company's traditional home in Trollhättan. The two 9-3 sedans were built to work bugs out of the production line and test newer components before full-scale production starts near the end of the year.
NEVS acting President, Mattias Bergman, issued a statement saying, "Prior to our decision to start production of Saab cars, we need to finalize a few remaining dialogues to build partnerships with suppliers. We now know that the plant is ready for production." First up for NEVS will be gas-powered, turbocharged 9-3s, before bringing a facelifted, electrified variant later next year. There are also plans to rejigger Saab's never-was Phoenix architecture for production, although NEVS needs to excise the remaining General Motors tech from the platform before building anything.
According to a report on Automotive News Europe, once under way, NEVS has set an optimistic target of 120,000 units per year by 2016, with sales focused in Europe and China - there's no official word on if NEVS ever plans to bring the Saab name back to North America.

Spyker and Youngman sign deal, plan to build D8 SUV and Phoenix-based range

Mon, 27 Aug 2012

It appears Spyker is strengthen its ties and carmaking ability with Chinese carmaker Youngman. This comes in the wake of the brand's latest dealings with a $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors regarding the demise of Saab.
Youngman is reportedly investing €10,000,000 ($12.5M USD) for a 29.9-percent stake in the company. The shares are being sold for €0.05 (6.3 cents) each, representing a fully diluted share. Youngman has said it will not take on more than the 29.9-percent stake.
Additionally, Youngman will invest €25,000,000 ($31M) for the development of an all-new Spyker vehicle, called the D8 P2P, named for the Peking-to-Paris rally. The vehicle had been shown as a concept by Spyker previously, but things had been quiet since then. It appears Spyker will now build the uniquely styled D8 Concept shown above. The vehicle is to launch at the end of 2014 and carry a price of $250,000 per vehicle.
