2010 Saab 9-5 Aero. Flood vehicle. Vehicle is not running and is best used for parts. I am relisting the car with a $1,000.00 discount! This vehicle was in a saltwater flood in Florida in 2012. The water line appears to have been just above the seat bottoms. Unfortunately nature has taken its course and the interior is now pretty moldy. The condition of the engine is not completely known. The intake pipes and turbo inlet show signs of oil, but not water. I took a photo of the inside of the intake manifold (see 3rd last photo) and see no signs of water. I drained the oil and saw a little swirling brown color, indicating a small amount of water was in there. I have not tried to turn the motor over and will leave the rest of the diagnosis to the buyer. I don't think the engine sucked in flood water, but the condition of the internals may need attention to avoid damaging the cylinder walls. Please note that the engine is covered in sand from the flood. The exterior is in relatively good condition. There are some black scuffs on the body, mostly on the hood and front bumper. I tried using a rubbing compound on a small test area and the scuffs came out. The car has some other dents and scratches, the largest is on the passenger side rocker panel (see photo). The front bumper has a dent at the bottom, and seems to have popped off the fender a bit. The glass on the car looks great and is heavily tinted. The navigation system and dashboard come to life when you hook up a battery. The display indicates a number of errors due to flooded sensors or equipment throughout the car. The Harmon Kardon stereo system still sounds absolutely amazing. The heads up display appears to be functional. As expected, the electrical system acts a bit funky and certain things don't work or work intermittently. I purchased this car for use as a project car, but unfortunately I have been too busy with work and other projects. Some redeeming qualities of this 2010 Saab 9-5 Aero:
If you decide to part the car out, the Aero body parts will be a quick sale for you. The HUD windshield is no longer available from Saab. The adaptive HID headlights are usually $1000 each from the dealer. The 19" wheels and tires are in pretty good shape. Please note that the car comes with a Florida Certificate of Destruction. You may or may not be able to register the car for road use, depending on your state (or country). You will receive the certificate of destruction and a copy of the bill of sale.
Condition: Flood vehicle. Sold as-is for parts. Includes Florida Certificate of Destruction. May not be able to be titled in your state. Please email with any questions! |

Court extends Saab reorganization bid until end of November
Fri, 10 Oct 2014Saab parent company National Electric Vehicle Sweden refuses to go down without a fight. After a recent trip to court, the company is emerging with an extension on its reorganization until November 29. According to Europe Online Magazine, there's also an appointed committee of creditors and union representatives to monitor NEVS' restructuring process.
NEVS still isn't giving up hope of saving itself, and the company claims there are has two potential strategies for getting back on its feet. The main plan is to "finalize the negotiations with the two Asian automotive manufacturers," according to a press release. Those firms still aren't identified, but Mahindra may be involved. According to Europe Online Magazine, one of the businesses is looking to take partial ownership of NEVS, and the other is considering some sort of cooperation with it.
If that plan fails, the second option is to take advantage of the factory and become a contract manufacturer.
Vampire Weekend singer responds to burning Saab controversy [w/video]
Fri, 29 Mar 2013Last week, we tipped you off about Vampire Weekend and their new music video for the song Diane Young, a short film that consists entirely of setting fire to two perfectly nice-looking Saab 900 automobiles. The indie rock band's video - viewable by scrolling down - predictably triggered the internet ire of classic car enthusiasts - Saabophiles in particular - and word of the unrest eventually got back to the band itself.
According to music site Spinner (nb: owned by Autoblog parent AOL), the group was "stunned" at the backlash - enough that lead singer Ezra Koenig felt compelled to respond himself. According to Koenig, the band was under the impression that their record company was "looking to purchase the cheapest, oldest cars possible; they weren't trying to buy a beautiful perfect condition car." By way of apology, Koenig even goes so far as to note that bandmate Rostam Batmanglij is a keen fan of Saab.
Other reports have claimed that the cars may have been purchased under false pretenses, sold by owners who "wanted to see them go to a nice new home," but Koenig takes issue with that characterization, countering that he understood that the cars had substantial electrical problems.
Rally legend Erik Carlsson dies at 86
Wed, May 27 2015The motorsports world has lost a legend with the passing of famous rally driver Erik Carlsson at the age of 86. If you've ever seen a photo of a vintage Saab sliding around a corner or blasting through tree-lined roads, there was a good chance that Carlsson was behind the wheel. The man was so tied to the Swedish auto brand that he earned the nickname Mr. Saab. Carlsson experienced his greatest competition success in the late '50s and early '60s when he scored victories in premier events like the Monte Carlo Rally (pictured above). Among his more impressive performances were consecutive wins in '60, '61, and '62 Britain's RAC Rally. His three-cylinder, 750cc Saab 96 wasn't insanely powerful, but Carlsson made it a monster in the world of rallying. In 2010, Saab named a special edition 9-3 after him and honored his victory at the RAC Club in London. Beyond being impressive behind the wheel of a rally car and a longtime Saab brand ambassador, the driver had a habit of rolling his car during competition to earn the moniker "Carlsson On The Roof." According to Classic and Sports Car, he also wrote the book The Art and Technique of Driving that detailed his left-foot braking method, and it was co-authored with his wife, fellow racing driver Pat Moss. Our condolences go out to Carlsson's friends and family.
