1991 Saab 900 S Convertible 2-door 2.1l (classic) on 2040-cars

US $3,300.00
Year:1991 Mileage:122569
Location:

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.

-The car runs well but it is not perfect.  Please see, “PROBLEMS,”  below.
-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, 

+ 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. 

+ No electrical problems
+ Wheels are real, (not hub-caps).
+ No rust or dry-rot.
+ Clear title


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEMS:  

Interior cosmetic - I have shown some, but not all, of those issues in the pictures.  The issue includes rips, tears, curling, and missing pieces(s). 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 -  Previous owner told me that the top had just been replaced.  Later noticed that there was a piece of tape at the bottom of the rear window.  Dont 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. Electronics work great! 

Transmission:  The transmission is slightly slipping. 
When you put the car in reverse, the transmission slips.  Also, when the car rapidly goes into overdrive, there is slipping.  I have noticed that, if I remove the guide for the shift lever, there is less slipping.  Also, I did not notice any slipping during normal forward driving. 

Tires and wheels:  A wheel alignment is needed.  The front passenger side tire should be replaced immediately

AC: Does not work, not sure. I think it blows hot air.

Trunk lock: Can be opened electronically only. Key is stuck inside.

Seat belts: 
 The piece that the seatbelts plug into does not hold the seatbelts, and the covers for those pieces are both falling off.

Spoler: 
 The passenger side spoiler is currently inside of the car.  It has big crack in it, but is still in one piece.

Other problems:  There may be other problems that I do not know about, and there are likely other rips, chips, and tears on the interiorbut I have put the problems that I know about in this auction information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Tire Size:  Michellin 215/45 ZR 16 86Y

Battery:  I had to charge the battery when I moved the car to its new location.  The battery held the charge and started the car.  Other than that, I do not know the status of the battery.

GM recalling 524k vehicles over hood latches and toe link nuts

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

Just hours after confirming to Autoblog its intention to recall 97,540 vehicles in the US (117,651 in North America) for a possible manufacturing defect in the chassis control module of several models, General Motors is issuing two more campaigns that affect another 379,401 units in the US (524,384 in North America).
One campaign covers 290,107 US examples of the 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX and the 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X because the "rear toe link adjuster lock nuts" may be improperly torqued. If not up to spec, the toe adjuster link could separate and allow the wheel to shift while driving, making the handling unstable. GM says that it knows of three crashes and two injuries as a result of this problem. Dealers are inspecting the nuts and installing a new link assembly, if necessary. Autoblog first reported about this potential issue when it showed up on a list of recalls from Transport Canada.
The second recall is for 89,294 examples of the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark in the US manufactured from January 17, 2012, through July 29, 2014. According to GM, "corrosion can cause the secondary hood latch striker to stick in the open position." If this happens, and the primary latch also isn't engaged for some reason, the hood could fly open while driving. About 13,000 of these affected Sparks are at dealers and are being held until repaired. The fix requires replacing the hood striker. GM isn't aware of crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem.

Spyker to appeal dismissal of Saab lawsuit against GM

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

It seems as if Spyker CEO Victor Muller has made a decision on whether or not to pursue a legal battle between his company and General Motors. Spyker has announced it will appeal a US District Court decision to throw out the company's lawsuit against GM. As you may recall, on June 10 Judge Gershwin Drain ruled tht GM had a right to approve or disapprove Spyker's sale of Saab to Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile. Spyker sued GM for some $3 billion, claiming that the American automaker had forced Saab into bankruptcy by stopping Spyker from transferring intellectual property to its Chinese partner.
Spyker has said only that it plans to appeal the decision. Until now, the company has been silent about the ruling. GM, meanwhile, has said it is pleased with the original outcome. You can read the quick Spyker press release below for more information.

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.
