2003 Saab 9-3 Arc (108k Miles) Being Sold To Benefit Shoe4africa on 2040-cars
New York, New York, United States

I am selling my 2003 Saab 9-3 in to benefit a charity
that I support.
The Charity Shoe4Africa is a 501c3 charity that supports many effective health and education programs in eastern Africa and is currently tackling our most ambitious project to date; building the first public pediatric hospital in sub-Saharan Africa. This project seeks to address the woefully deficient basic health care needs in a region that is vastly underserved:
Groundbreaking on the hospital has begun and the process of raising money to pay for the construction and hospital equipment continues. If you are moved to help us and need a car, please read on! The Car 2003 Saab 9-3 (ARC) with 108K miles. The car is well equipped with amenities (6 disk CD changer, moon roof, power heated leather seats etc) and is in very good shape. There are a few minor scratches in the paint as you would expect with a 10 year old car but it looks good and drives well. I am the original owner (and have a clean title) and have taken good care of the car performing all scheduled maintenance and oil changes. The only know defects are:
Other than these two minor items, the car is fun to drive and gets good mileage. The car currently has the winter tires and rims installed. Also included are a set of alloy rims and tires in good condition, and the Thule roof rack system with bicycle rails and a Thule SportRack Roof Box. Why am I selling the car When I moved back to NYC a few years ago, it quickly became obvious that I really do not need a car any longer. NYC has excellent public transportation and bicycle infrastructure that makes getting around without a car quite convenient and easy. As a result, the car spends most of its time in a garage and is driven only a few times per month. While it is nice to have a car for the convenience, I am aware that it is an extravagance that is unnecessary. At the same time I enjoy the convenience of having my Saab, I support a charity that is building a pediatric hospital for those who have zero access to health care. I have come to realize that my convenience is considerably less important than the basic needs of children in eastern Africa. It is with this thought that I am donating my car to help fund the hospital. 100% of the purchase price of this car will go directly to the charity. |

3 former Saab execs charged with tax evasion
Mon, 20 May 2013The Associated Press reports three former Saab executives have been arrested on charges of accounting fraud. Swedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren has refused to identify the individuals, but says they're suspected of attempting to evade taxes by falsifying Saab accounts between 2010 and 2011 during the Spyker years. Other reports indicate the parties involved include former General Counsel to Saab Kristina Geers (seen to the left of former CEO Victor Muller, above), a 15-year-veteran of the company - her husband, Eric, was the company's communications director for 9 years as well.
Saab filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and was purchased shortly thereafter by National Electric Vehicle Sweden. If convicted, the trio could face up to four years in prison for their crimes under Swedish law.
Spyker and Youngman sign deal, plan to build D8 SUV and Phoenix-based range
Mon, 27 Aug 2012It appears Spyker is strengthen its ties and carmaking ability with Chinese carmaker Youngman. This comes in the wake of the brand's latest dealings with a $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors regarding the demise of Saab.
Youngman is reportedly investing €10,000,000 ($12.5M USD) for a 29.9-percent stake in the company. The shares are being sold for €0.05 (6.3 cents) each, representing a fully diluted share. Youngman has said it will not take on more than the 29.9-percent stake.
Additionally, Youngman will invest €25,000,000 ($31M) for the development of an all-new Spyker vehicle, called the D8 P2P, named for the Peking-to-Paris rally. The vehicle had been shown as a concept by Spyker previously, but things had been quiet since then. It appears Spyker will now build the uniquely styled D8 Concept shown above. The vehicle is to launch at the end of 2014 and carry a price of $250,000 per vehicle.
GM denies Spyker claims in $3B Saab lawsuit
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Reuters reports General Motors has dismissed claims by Spyker outlined in a $3 billion lawsuit. Spyker alleged GM deliberately bankrupted Saab by preventing a deal with Chinese investor Zhejiang Youngman Lotus. GM, meanwhile, filed a response with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan saying that as the former owner of Saab, GM had the legal right to approve the deal with Youngman. But Spyker's lawsuit claimed GM's refusal to approve the deal with Youngman stemmed from the fact that the American automaker didn't want to create a competitor in China.
GM has said the issue stemmed more from the fact that it would stop licensing its technology to Saab or stop building vehicles for the manufacturer in the event it was bought by Youngman. Since Saab built its own platform that didn't use any GM tech, Spyker says that argument is meritless.
The lawsuit has Spyker seeking $3 billion in compensatory damages, though that number could swell with interest, punitive damages and legal fees, as well. Victor Muller, Spyker chief executive, has said the lawsuit is being funded by an anonymous third party. That party will share in any settlement. Youngman has refused to comment on whether or not it's footing the legal bill.
