1991 SAAB
900 CONVERTIBLE COUPE
I bought the car about 6 years ago. The car was last registered in 2009. I have kept the car covered with a car cover, in a covered carport, until about two months ago, when I moved it to its current location. I was going to restore the car and give it to my wife, but both she and I have been sick, so I never got around to working on it. The car runs well but it is not perfect. Please see, “PROBLEMS,” below. I do not see colors well, but I believe that the color in the pictures is less gold/champagne than the car actually is. The car has an automatic transmission. This car is not a turbo. When I bought the SAAB, (about 6 years ago), the previous owner told me that the top was new, and that it had not been involved in any accidents. I believe that the previous owner replaced the original radio with an upgraded radio, but I am not certain of this. After buying the car, I had the car
professionally painted. The remaining repairs seemed to me to be cosmetic and/or minor, with the exception of the transmission, which is slightly slipping. I do not know how to repair that or what is needed to repair it. I have not been involved in any accidents in the car. Other than the prior owner telling me that the car had not been in any accidents prior to my purchase, I do not know if the car was in any accidents prior to my purchasing it. The engine seems fine. It is not leaking or burning oil. The car runs well and seems to have a lot of power. The engine seems fairly quiet. I guarantee that the engine will pass a smog test. I am not aware of any electrical problems. The suspension seems good to me. The wheels are real, (not hub-caps). I have not seen any rust or dry-rot. I am providing
clear title to the vehicle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROBLEMS: INTERIOR: There are cosmetic issues on the interior, and I have shown some, but not all, of those issues in the pictures. The issue includes rips, tears, curling, and missing pieces(s). There are several narrow cracks in the top of the dashboard. Pieces of the burl wood type cover on the dash are torn or missing.CONVERTIBLE TOP: When I bought the car, the previous owner told me that the top had just been replaced. I later noticed that there was a piece of tape at the bottom of the rear window. I do not know why and I have left it there. I also noticed that one seam has opened a bit. You can see the tape and the seam in the pictures. TRANSMISSION: The transmission is slightly slipping. TIRES and WHEELS: A wheel alignment is needed. The front passenger side tire should be replaced immediately OTHER PROBLEMS: There may be other problems that I do not know about, and there are likely other rips, chips, and tears on the interior, but I have put the problems that I know about in this auction information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The car is located in the Valley Glen area, (formerly a part of Van Nuys), of the San Fernando Valley, in Los Angeles, California: If you are in the Southern California area: You are welcome to come and see the car. Please e-mail me to set-up a date and time. If you are out of the area and want to transport the car: If you purchase the car and want to arrange for the transportation, I will cooperate with the transport company to get the car to you, but you will have to pay for the transportation and you will be responsible for the car while it is in the process of being transported. The car does not have current tags, so I cannot drive it on the street. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other than guaranteeing that the car will pass a smog test, the car is Sold AS-IS WHERE-IS. No warranty and/or guarantees of any kind, (other than passing a smog test). Car is running. The car is not smoking or leaking. Clear CA title on-hand. I will accept a bank checks, personal checks, cash, and/or Pay-Pal. Title and possession will not pass until after full payment has cleared. Title and possesion will pass at the time the car is picked-up. A $500 deposit must be paid within 24 hours of winning this auction. The car must be picked-up within 10 days of full payment clearing. If the car
is not picked-up within 10 days of full payment clearing, commencing on the 11th
day after full payment has cleared, I will charge $10 a day storage for each of
the next 30 days. Storage charges must be paid prior to title and possession passing to buyer. If the car is not picked-up within 40 days of full payment clearing, then I will return any monies that I have received over the $500 deposit and the $300 for storage, and I will sell the car to someone else.
PLEASE CONACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEFORE YOU BUY THIS CAR. IF YOU WANT A PICTURE OF A PARTICULAR AREA, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, AND I WILL TAKE THE PICTURE AND POST IT TO THIS E-BAY AUCTION. Thank you.

Junkyard Gem: 1989 Saab 9000 Turbo
Tue, Jul 24 2018Saab got a lot of sales out of its 99 and 99-based 900 models, but a bigger and more modern car became necessary in order to compete with other European manufacturers in the executive-car market. This car was the 9000, and examples are getting very hard to find nowadays. Here's a 200,000-mile turbocharged 1989 Saab 9000 in a San Francisco Bay Area self-service wrecking yard. Other than Mercedes-Benzes and Volvo 240s, I don't see many junkyard 1980s European cars with better than 200,000 miles on the clock. The owner or owners of this Saab loved it enough to keep it in nice shape for a good 30 years, and it drove more than 7,000 miles on average during each year of its life. The engine is the same 160-horsepower turbocharged Saab H that went into the 1989 Saab 900 Turbo. This engine is descended from the Triumph Slant-4, which Americans knew best as the power under the hood of the Triumph TR-7. Members of this engine family remained in production from 1968 through 2009. It has the five-speed manual transmission, which was starting to become an unusual transmission choice for U.S. car buyers by 1989 — even in Saabs. The Scania badging on Saabs went away after 1995. I see plenty of Saab 900s during my junkyard wanderings, but 9000s aren't so easy to find in the big U-Wrench yards in 2018. I'm not sure what's going on with the fabric in this car's door-panel inserts. Saab went with the same ignition-switch location as everybody else with the 9000, rather than the "traditional" spot between the front seats. Naturally, Saab purists were so outraged by this that they ordered another round of surstromming and swore to stick with their two-stroke 96s for the next 30 years.

Saab owners NEVS denied creditor protection by Swedish court
Thu, 28 Aug 2014The story of Saab is practically a Greek tragedy at this point. The quirky Swedish automaker that was once known as a pioneer of affordable turbocharging has been followed by years of news that just seemed to keep getting worse. At this point, maybe the brand name should be allowed to fade away into the ether and be remembered for the good times that it gave us.
Saab's latest predicament is that its parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden (or NEVS) has been denied protection from its creditors by the Swedish courts. According to Reuters, the judges called the business' financing plan "vague and completely undocumented." A company spokesperson told Reuters that it plans to appeal.
Seemingly in reaction to the court's decision, NEVS posted a press release on its website announcing that the company had applied "for a reorganization to create more time for the ongoing negotiations." The automaker continues to claim that it's negotiating with two global automakers to sell a portion of the company, possibly Mahindra, but the process is taking longer than it originally predicted. It seems a distinct possibility that this reorganization attempt is simply a way to buy extra time.
NEVS to build new Saab models in China's Qingdao
Thu, 10 Jan 2013National Electric Vehicle Sweden has officially signed a deal with Qingdao Qingbo Investment Company that will see the NEVS build EVs in Qingdao, China. The move is the first step on the road toward eventually selling vehicles in China. Reuters reports that the Chinese company has agreed to invest $307.33 million, after which point Qingdao Qingbo will receive 22 percent of the NEVS shares. Currently, there's no word on exactly when the funds and shares will change hands, but the Swedish automaker has previously said it fully intends to launch its first EV by early 2014.
NEVS has also made waves about potentially building a version of the old Saab 9-3 with a traditional internal combustion driveline. Currently, the manufacturer says it plans to ship the vehicles it builds in Sweden to the Qingdao port and distribute them to the rest of China from there. Later down the line, a manufacturing facility in Qingdao will supply the country with Chinese-built Saab models.
