 Up for Auction is an absolutely gorgeous 1988 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible.  I am the 2nd owner of this car, and I have only owned it for 3 months.  The original owner owned the car until I bought it from a car dealer.  The full vehicle history report goes with the car, and it is perfect.  No accidents, no liens, no blemishes.  This car is fantastic.  It was my lifelong dream car, and I bought it in the hope of keeping it for weekend driving.  What I've discovered is that the car is too pristine for me to drive.  It really should go to a collector or investor.  This car is only going to appreciate in value.  I currently have the car registered as an antique in PA. 

 

It is clearly evident from the condition that the car was always garaged.  It is loaded with all of the options that were available in 1988.  Everything works as it should.  I have all the original books and manuals even the Radio code card.  The car is immaculate.  It was always Garaged and it shows!  It runs and drives as you would expect a 49,000 mile car to run...like it is brand new!  The top goes up and down effortlessly.  All the windows and electrical items work fine.  It is all Original.  The tires are in great shape with lots of tread remaining.  The original radio works as well as the factory equalizer.   Even the Power Antenna Works!  The leather seats are in great shape for the age of the car with very little wear on them.  It is truly a pleasure to drive.  I honestly wish it wasn't in such great shape, so I wouldn't feel guilty driving it.

 

Being a 25 year old car it is not perfect.  It does have a few little things that could be fixed.  The glove box door has a applique on it that is starting to peel on the edge.  The material on the drivers door panel insert has become unglued in places in is a bit loose.  The windshield has a tiny crack (less than 1 inch ) from a rock hitting it.  The front cover on the ashtray has come off.  The top which I believe to be original has three little wear holes from going up and down.  It is not ripped and is still in good condition but has these spots that are worn.   ( See Pictures for all these issues).  The speakers for the radio crackle a bit sometimes but the radio plays and sounds fine.     There are a few small door dings and maybe some very small scratches that are not really noticeable.  These is a small piece of molding on the left side front bumper extension that is missing.   Thats about it.  It is truly a time capsule in excellent condition!  It even still has the Factory Bosch Fog lights under the front bumper!!  

 

 If you are in the Lancaster, PA area and would like to see and drive this Beautiful Saab Convertible feel free to call me at 717-903-4142.   I will assist in Shipping or Pickup arrangements anyway I can.   A $500.00 dollar deposit Via paypal is due within 24 hours of the auction end.  

 

Please understand that this is an "as is, where is" sale, and no warranty is stated or implied in anyway.  That said, I personally would have all the confidence in the world getting in the car and driving across the country! 

 

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!

Victor Muller to pay Sweden back taxes for Saab work

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

Victor Muller, Saab's CEO from 2010 to 2011, has been ordered by the Swedish court to pay the back taxes he owes the country for his work at Saab, Autoweek and Volkskrant report. When he was the automaker's CEO he received a salary of about 8 million Swedish Krona ($1.25 million), which was recorded as a reward for consultancy work for a company in the US that Muller owns. The move allowed him to evade taxes for awhile, but the court has ordered him to pay taxes on his full salary.
Muller, who is also CEO of Spyker, and two other Saab executives were accused of accounting fraud in May, which took place in 2010 and 2011. According to reports, Muller maintains that he is not subject to taxes in Sweden.

Chunk of ice smashes man's windshield

Tue, Jan 5 2016

Driving a car piled with snow isn't just lazy, it's dangerous. A driver on Interstate 495 South in Massachusetts learned that the hard way last week after a huge chunk of ice flew off the top of an SUV and onto his windshield. Jeffrey Cote's dashboard camera was running as he drove his Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon down the freeway in Haverhill, MA, Wednesday morning. He was following an SUV in the left hand lane. The SUV doesn't appear to have too much accumulation on it, but the owners clearly didn't remove the snow and ice from the very top of the vehicle. A large chunk of ice flew off the top of the SUV, spun through the air and shattered Cotes windshield. Cote's must be one of the cooler heads on Massachusetts' roads. He didn't swerve, or swear or even gasp. Despite being unable to see the road and covered in glass Cotes safely moved over to the right lanes and safely pulled off on to the shoulder after the accident. The ice not only totally destroyed Cote's windshield but damaged a wiper arm and his side mirror as well. "If I had braked harder, I could have avoided impact," Cotes wrote in the video description. "But it initially appeared the piece was going to fall in front of me." Cotes couldn't read the driver's license plate on the footage and told CBS Boston that he doesn't think the other driver even realizes what occurred. He told the news station he hopes the video reminds people to do the right thing and clear the snow off their cars. "Just a few seconds, just try to slam as much ice as possible off your roof," Cotes told CBS Boston. "Because, it could have gone a lot worse, and it could save someone's life if you do a better job cleaning," Cote said. News Source: CBS Boston Saab Driving Safety Videos snow winter driving cold

Celebrate Volvo's 89th birthday with some neat facts

Thu, Apr 14 2016

Volvo, arguably Sweden's best-known non-ABBA export, will celebrate the big 9-0 next year. The company has always operated somewhat under the radar, but it has its share of stories to tell despite an image formed by decades of solid, safe, and sensible cars. To celebrate the occasion, here are five lesser-known facts about Sweden's last remaining car brand. 1. It opened North America's first foreign car plant. Idyllic Halifax was a small fishing city of about a quarter-million in the early 1960s when Volvo arrived and became the first import brand to build cars en masse in North America. American consumers on the East Coast developed a fondness for the Volvo Amazon line in the late 1950s, leading Volvo to seek out a plant in the Americas. Halifax ponied up incentives, allowing Volvo to take advantage of a pact eliminating tariffs on cars built and exported between the United States and Canada. Volvo built cars there until the end of 1998, when it said its facility was no longer viable compared to larger factories in Europe. That brings us to The Netherlands, where Volvo bought a quirky, innovative automaker that once sold a car called the Daffodil (which was actually its luxury model). 2. You can thank Volvo for CVTs – even though it doesn't use them. Volvo wasn't interested in picking flowers. It wanted the automotive arm of truck manufacturer DAF, which would include its assembly plant, its Renault engines, and the first mainstream application of the CVT gearbox. Volvo acquired DAF's car business over the course of a few years in the early 1970s and, in typical Volvo safety-oriented style, it slapped big bumpers and head restraints on the little DAF 66 and rebadged it as the Volvo 66. The Dutch assembly plant would grow to include a partnership with Mitsubishi in the early '90s. Today, it operates as NedCar and builds Mini Coopers for BMW. Volvo is no longer involved in NedCar or DAF (which sold its CVT division to Bosch, by the way), but its acquisition of DAF helped ensure the success of CVTs. Ironically, even though Volvo's investment helped make CVTs mainstream, the Swedish automaker's affair with them was brief, and today it utilizes only conventional automatics. 3. The Swedish carmakers were pals. Over its 89 years, Volvo has been closely connected to a number of automakers – most notably Ford, which ran the company for a decade, and its current owner Geely. But Volvo is most closely linked to its longtime competitor, Saab.
