1999 Saab Convertible Red Auto, Runs Nice, Minor Problems, 160k on 2040-cars
Albany, New York, United States
|
A nice, fun, cruise-around-the-countryside summery cranberry red Saab 9-3 Convertible (cabriolet) turbo with automatic transmission in good running condition but has some things that will need attention. Almost 160,000 miles, tires VG but not new, top excellent condition (and works beautifully), body VG with very slight signs of rust in a couple places on the edges. No damage, some slight scuffs and wear to paint, some scuffing to bumpers. Interior showing wear to driver's seat (the leather has split at the seams) and some dirt to back seat and to shelf behind back seat (as shown in pics). Just had major service done to oil system (cleaned internal screen, etc.), has a new radiator and the appropriate hoses as of last week, fairly new brake pads, new power steering lines, etc. I've maintained it well and kept it running for 6 1/2 years since buying it used in Saratoga. All receipts. Has had its own garage all along. Upcoming problems: turbo sounds whiny (but no smoke in exhaust--it appears to be a leaking the blowback tubes, and I'm getting that fixed if possible), and slight noise from exhaust system (which has been that way for a couple years). Come see it to get the whole story. A great car that is showing its age. I've put a lot into it in the last 2 years and it's at that point where it might need someone who can work on it themselves or be willing to service things as they arise.

Deal brokered to get Saab warranty service honored at GM dealers
Mon, 24 Dec 2012When Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn were killed off, at least current owners never had to question where they would have to take their vehicle in case it needed to be serviced. The same couldn't be said for Saab owners... until now. General Motors and Saab Automobile Parts North America (the remaining entity of the bankrupted automaker) have signed an agreement that provides 179 service centers to current Saab owners to receive factory-trained technicians and official Saab replacement parts.
These warranty service providers will have all the tools, training and parts to maintain and repair Saab vehicles, and they will also have access to a technical assistance center for the technicians. Next year, SPNA will also set up a customer assistance center, which will likely be most useful in helping current owners find repair shows, as well as a program called Saab Secure to give added service support to owners of late model (2010 and 2011 model year) Saab vehicles. Finally, to make sure customers have a sufficient parts supply to keep their cars on the road, SPNA operates out of a 153,000 square foot warehouse in Michigan that has the ability to ship more than 3,000 parts orders per day.
GM's official press release on the agreement is posted after the jump.
National Electric Vehicle stops Saab 9-3 production amidst financing woes
Tue, 20 May 2014It seems that quirky, Swedish automaker Saab might be on life support yet again. Its owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden, has announced that it's reducing its workforce and temporarily halting production of the 9-3 due to financial problems. NEVS was only building six cars a day, anyway.
The company put out a press release admitting its economic woes, but it still appeared hopeful. NEVS claims it's developing "a new platform on the Phoenix architecture," and it has a frame agreement with an international automotive OEM. It didn't give any specific details about either one of these assertions though. According to The Wall Street Journal, NEVS needs the partnership to lower development costs in order to stay afloat. Saab spokesperson Mikael Ostlund told Autoblog in an email that the stop in production of the 9-3 in Trollhättan would last four weeks.
NEVS says it's in negotiation to sell a portion of the company to an automotive company. Its current monetary woes are caused by shareholder Qingbo Investment Company not financing the company as agreed. "We plan to have the results of the discussions at latest during June," said Ostlund.
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
