2003 Beautiful Saab 9-3 Se Convertible 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States
Up for sale is my 2003 Saab 9-3 Convertible SE. I absolutely love this car. It has been extremely good to me. I have had no major mechanical fixes with this car. I've only had to replace the ac compressor and this is around when I first bought the car. I also just put a new battery in the car. The car is a great running car. The only reason I'm selling it is because my husband and I are getting ready to have a new baby and we need a car with more space. The car's top is most definitely a functioning top.Now the top is moving really slow to not moving at all only because it is out of soft top hydraulic fluid. If you are a SAAB enthusiast or a mechanic, you'd know this is a pretty standard refill. Also, the car needs a secondary catalic converter. It had fallen off due to rust which caused the catalic converter to hang. So, we took the catalic converter off the car. We still have the catalic converter part. The car is loud because of this but we will give put the part in the car for you, so that you only have to worry about the secondary catalic converter, which will be an easy cheap welding job, if you want to get it fixed. It does not effect the car's performance at all. The check engine light is on due to the temperature sensor/thermostat. Usually, you get them replaced at the same time. I was quoted $60.00 for this. I got a code scan today that will verify this. This is also not an expensive fix. This is the ONLY reason the check engine light is on, as you can see on the document. This car has been a wonder. None of the issues has prevented us from driving. It just has the standard needs that any car does new brakes and tires when you see fit. This car is a solid 7/10. This car has beautiful black leather, HEATED seats, cruise control, ONSTAR, power seats with memory, telescopic steering, and more. There is no amount of money that you can put on the experience of driving a SAAB convertible. KBB lists the car at minimally $5000 even in fair condition with cosmetic wear and mechanic problems. We're not looking for as much just $3500 obo. Please be fair when bidding. For any inquiries please feel free to contact us at anytime. We would like to sell the car immediately.

What brands have Saab owners defected to? Polk investigates
Sun, 02 Sep 2012When a brand goes belly-up, it's natural for analysts to wonder where that brand's consumers will turn. General Motors has mothballed more car brands the last decade than most other automakers' have in their entire portfolios, so "Where did [insert brand here] buyers go?" has been a common question asked of The General. According to reports, it didn't do so well at retaining Oldsmobile owners (who supposedly went to Hyundai), or Hummer and Saturn buyers, but did get some return love from Pontiac owners.
A consultant with Polk has turned the loyalty lens on Saab. The Polk Disposal Loyalty Methodology tracks owners selling vehicles within six months of buying a new one. In 2010 and 2011, Polk found that when Saab died, owners went right up the middle of the mainstream to Honda. It was close, though, with just 0.2 percent separating Honda from number two Volkswagen. Audi comes in third.
After that it's back to the masses with Toyota, Chevrolet and Ford trumping import luxury brands. And if you combine all of the General Motors brands that Saab owners have migrated to, GM more than doubles Honda with a 15.2-percent share, so all the love is not lost.
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.
Saab owner may speed up relaunch with gas-powered 9-3
Wed, 21 Nov 2012National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the new owner of Saab, has good news for you if you happened to miss out on picking up a 9-3 before the company plummeted through bankruptcy. Automotive News Europe reports NEVS may offer a gasoline-powered 9-3 in 2013. That move would effectively step up the brand's re-launch plan by a full year. Originally, the company planned to introduce an electric vehicle in 2014, but NEVS is currently investigating ways to start production next summer using "a 9-3 with a traditional powertrain" in order to generate more cash for the electrification effort.
NEVS purchased Saab earlier this year with the intent of resurrecting the brand with a fully electric product portfolio. The new EVs would theoretically ride on the Saab Phoenix platform and be manufactured at the automaker's plant in Trollhattan, Sweden. The report of a resurrected gasoline model came courtesy of Mikael Oestlund, a company spokesperson familiar with the company's workings.
