Summary

This is possibly the nicest original condition 1997 Saab 900 sedan for sale in the country. With less than 60k miles, this is also the lowest mileage Saab 900 S sedan of its body-style (1994-2002) nationwide.

 

Ownership History

I bought this car in 2010 from a dealer with a low 32,000 miles. I was told that the original owner was a college professor, and as such did not use the car very often. In the time that I owned this car, I used it first with my commute from Orange County to Los Angeles for work (approx. 80+ miles per day) for the first year, so the majority of the current miles are due to highway driving. Roughly a year later, I moved closer to the job and only had about a 8 mile round trip in West LA. I currently have been given a company vehicle, so I no longer have the need/space for an extra vehicle.

 

Vehicle Description (Detailed)

Exterior

The exterior is in very good condition for a 16+ yr. old car. During the time I've owned the car, it has always been garaged both at work and at night. That being said, it does have the normal wear and tear of a car that has been driven (rock chips, small dings, etc.). There are several small dings on both sides of the car. The car is a great "ten footer", in other words it looks perfect from 10 feet, but upon closer inspection it could use a good full detail and buffing. I've been told that could get out the "cloudiness" from what looks like hard water marks.

Interior

The interior is near perfect. Please reference the pictures for greater detail. Literally the only "problem" I can see is it looks like there is a small (size of a pen) two spots where it literally looks like a red pen broke. Other than that everything looks like new which is extremely rare. Dash is without cracks, all options work properly, and the seats look new. The only other complaint I have is the radio, or rather the speakers, is somewhat insufficient by today's standards. Didn't bother me much, as I wasn't playing much music, mostly AM radio on a long commute.

Mechanical

The car has been extremely reliable as an affordable driver with very few repairs beyond normal maintenance. I've taken a photo of all the work receipts since my ownership. All work with the exception of oil changes, was either performed by a Saab specialist or by the dealer in LA. The car has had brakes done within 20k miles, and is up-to-date on oil changes and is topped off with fluids.

The matching tires and donut spare tire are all BRAND NEW, they have less than 1,000 miles on them.

 

Terms of Auction

There is a $500.00 non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours of auction end.  The remainder balance is due within 7 days from auction close.  I am more than happy to work with you on coordinating pickup/delivery.  If you have any questions you can call me 817-903-9242. Bidders with "zero" bidding history, please email prior to bidding.

Bear in mind that this is a used vehicle, no warranty is expressed or implied. Thank you and good luck bidding!

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...

New owners still struggling to secure rights to use Saab name

Wed, 27 Jun 2012

Not to state the obvious, but if you're going to buy an automaker, it's probably advisable to secure rights to use the name.
That's what the new owners of Saab are trying to work out after buying the iconic Swedish automaker earlier this month, Automotive News reports.
National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), the Chinese-Japanese conglomerate, acquired the company's physical assets, including its factory in Trollhättan, but didn't get rights to use the Saab name and logo. Truckmaker Scania and defense company Saab AB maintain the name and logo rights, and will need to sign off on NEVS using it, according to the publication. The parties are in discussions.

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.
