2002 Saab 9-3 Se Needs Work on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
2002 Saab 9-3 SE with only 142K miles on it. It's a great car and a lot of fun to drive! Our family purchased the car several years ago from Mike Shaw, a Saab dealership in Colorado. It moved with a family member to SD for the last few years who is now moving back and not taking the car with. All of the maintenance and repairs in Colorado were performed by EOS motorsports and all of the work done in SD has been performed by Swedish Auto Tech. Both of which are highly regarded Saab repair shops. We recently had the car inspected by Swedish Auto Tech and it does need work as outlined below. Our family has loved this Saab as much as all of the others we've owned and we hope to find it a good home with another Saab enthusiast in SD!
Interior: - Smoker free! - Power windows - Power locks - Heated, power, leather seats with "turbo" logo - Cruise Control - Moonroof - Wood trim - AC died and was removed - Back left window doesn't roll down and the door doesn't open from the inside - Minor wear and tear and one or two small stains - Above average condition for the mileage!!! Engine/Trans/suspension: - Transmission is in good condition - Turbo boosts great - B204R "High Output Turbo" Engine - Motor is leaking oil from multiple seals and needs to be replaced or rebuilt. At the moment we've just been monitoring the oil level and adding oil when needed. - Needs alignment - Mechanics have recommended replacing front ball joints eventually - Slight exhaust leak (I believe it's patchable) - Rear shocks leaking - Power steering hose should be replaced - Includes a few misc. spare parts Exterior: - Silver - Gorgeous SE model body kit gets compliments all the time! - Scuffs on the back right door/fender and the back bumper * We have our fingers crossed this car ends up with another Saab enthusiast! It's in great shape for the mileage and doesn't deserve to get parted out!!! * ** The car will be available for inspection on Saturday July 22nd from 10-1 at the west end of the Fashion Valley parking lot, next to the trolley station.** ***Cash only. Car must be picked up locally in SD between the 29th and the 31st. It has Colorado tags and will need to be registered at the CA DMV.*** |

Saab restarts production line in Trollh"attan
Thu, 19 Sep 2013The 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.
2014 Saab 9-3 officially relaunched, reborn
Thu, 05 Dec 2013Saab is officially building cars again. Production of the 9-3 Sedan has kicked back off in Trollhättan, Sweden, and the first example is reportedly earmarked for the company's museum. Initial sales are targeted for China, although Swedish customers will also be able to buy new Saabs built in their country right away, too. It isn't immediately clear if the model will be available in the rest of Europe, let alone in North America.
The initial run of 9-3s will be powered by a 220-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder before an electric model joins the range next year. There are no Biopower or XWD all-wheel-drive models presently in production. And while the lion's share of the 2014 9-3 is a carryover from the pre-bankruptcy car, there are some changes, including a new anti-whiplash seat system and a "greater number of non-GM parts," reports SaabsUnited.
"I am very proud of the dedication and the focus that NEVS management and employees have demonstrated over the year that has passed since we became owners of the plant in Trollhättan, and who have made this possible. Swedish expertise along with Japanese technology around batteries and new lightweight materials and our Chinese group's focus on green technology is our strength for the future," said Kai Johan Jiang, the founder of Saab's parent company, National Electric Vehicle Sweden.
Former Saab chairman Muller faces summons in tax inquiry
Thu, 23 May 2013Former Saab Chairman Victor Muller may be called in for questioning as part of an official inquiry into suspected tax evasion by three of the automaker's former executives. A prosecutor has officially named former CEO Jan-Ake Jonsson and two other executives in the investigation, and official court documents say that Muller will be called in by the Financial Crimes Unit. According to Reuters, prosecutors are currently looking into allegations that the executives worked to dodge taxes between 2010 and 2011, when the automaker finally went into bankruptcy.
The Truth About Cars reports the investigation may center around the $540,000 paid as consulting fees to Latin America Tug Holding NV, a company Muller owns. It's possible that the Swedish authorities believe the Saab executives were using the tug boat company as a tax haven, and that the automaker should have paid taxes and social security contributions on the money. Muller has not been charged.
Meanwhile, Muller is defending his earnings in a new interview with Automotive News. Having come under fire for his $773,000 salary at Saab, the Spyker CEO said his pay was commensurate with an executive running a company with 4,000 employees.
