I've had this classic Saab since 1999. It was my dream car since college and I've had many great years with it.

Runs and Drives Great, Everything works except cruise control - the AC blows cold (refitted with 134a), the power antenna goes up, it has the original Clarion cassette with EQ, I replaced the speakers a few years ago. All power windows go up and down, the top works perfectly, including the drivers side heated seat I installed. It also comes with the aftermarket boot cover and carrying case.

I bought the car in 1999 with 93K miles. It now has 130K. Low miles for it's age.
I just installed a new battery and fuel pump. The top was replaced about 5 years ago, the windshield was replaced in 2001, less than 5K miles on new tires, the leather is original and in good shape except the drivers seat that I recovered with a donor passenger seat from a 9000 about 5 years ago.

I upgraded to the SPG style performance body kit and wheels to give it the sportier SPG look and burled walnut dash cover.

All in all it's a nice looking car and shows pride of ownership but it also shows its years in places. The paint was faded and cracked on the hood and trunk. I repainted them but it's not the best prep job. It also has normal wear for it's age; chips, scratches a ding on the passenger door (see picture) and the clear coat on the bumpers has faded a bit. It would really look sharp with a new coat of paint. It has newer carpeted mats but the original carpet is worn on the drivers side and shows its age in places. The dash has some cracks. The fuel gauge and speedo work but they jump around a bit. I've stored it inside for most of it's time in my care with the exception of last year. My father passed away and we had to make room in the garage for stuff we were clearing out of his house. The power steering fluid had a slow leak last time I drove it but it seems fine now.

The NADA Classic retail for this car ranges from $4425 to $10,100 and they're starting to go up in value. I wish I could keep it but I just have to much stuff. I need to make room and let someone else enjoy this timeless Swedish classic.

This is a great car in original condition with some nice added upgrades. It needs nothing to be a dependable daily driver and a fun summer car. It's not a show car by any means. If you have any questions or need additional information please let me know before you bid. This car retailed $29,740 in 1988 and is still a lot of car for the money. This car is listed on craigslist locally so I reserve the right to end this auction early in accordance to ebay terms if the vehicle sells.

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 US bankruptcy plan gets legal green-light

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

It feels utterly bizarre that we're still talking about Saab, but Reuters is reporting that the bankrupt Swedish manufacturer's American arm has gotten approval from the US Bankruptcy Court to liquidate its assets and pay back creditors. As part of the plan, secured creditors like Ally Financial will receive full repayment. Unsecured creditors, consisting of those affected by abandoned leases and contracts will get anywhere from 25 to 82 percent of their money back.
There are currently $77 million in unsecured claims, according to Reuters, but that number doesn't include claims from former Saab dealers. Naturally, the entire affair is full of lawyers and legalese. A trust formed on the Saab side will be negotiating with creditors and their affiliates in an attempt to reduce claims against Saab. This sounds like the start of a long and sordid affair...

NEVS Saab EV prototype on display, with top speed of just 75 mph

Sat, Aug 23 2014

National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the Saab-owning Swedish holding company that is in turn owned by Chinese investors, has some problems (i.e., no cash). But that isn't stopping NEVS from showing off a prototype Saab 9-3 Electric Vehicle this week. But wait, you might be saying, didn't NEVS already start production of a 9-3 EV? Yes, indeed, and the vehicle displayed this week was indeed built at the Saab plant in Trollhattan in May as one of those early pilot builds. A modified Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan, the EV has had the lithium-ion battery pack jammed under the floor, so all of the cargo and passenger space of the gas-powered 9-3 remains available. "The starting point for our development of the Electric Vehicle project was to maintain all the good attributes and characteristics," said NEVS' vice president of engineering and product development, Stig Nodin in a statement. You can find the press release below. The li-ion pack comes from Beijing National Battery Technology (which is owned by the same company that owns NEVS) and can offer a range of about 120 miles, NEVS says. The prototype also has a 100-kW electric motor that offers 140 horsepower that provides a 0-60 miles per hour time of 10 seconds and a top speed of just 75 miles per hour. That's unlikely to be fast enough to outrun Saab's creditors, but NEVS says that the prototype is here "to serve as a reference for specification of coming production model(s)," so let's hope the speed number can be increased while the range at least stays the same. Today Nevs presented the Saab 9-3 Electric Vehicle as designed and produced as part of a prototype series in Trollhattan. The car is a modified Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan where the batteries are placed under the floor, keeping the full interior space as well as the luggage compartment intact. With that, the Saab 9-3 EV is just as practical as the Saab 9-3 Aero with gasoline engine. The Saab 9-3's famous driving-experience is of course preserved in the EV, helped by its low center of gravity and a 50/50 weight distribution. "We are happy to present the result of Nevs engineering into a real Saab EV product. The Saab cars' well-known performance and safety is maintained and we foresee a very good product for the market. When we developed the Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan Model Year 14, we focused on enhancing the driving experience, safety and quality.
