2004 Saab 9-3 Arc Sedan 4-door 2.0l *no Reserve* on 2040-cars
Middle River, Maryland, United States
|
Please read the
description fully and ensure that you can meet the obligations of this auction
before bidding. This car is less than 20 years old and it has not been
Maryland State Inspected, therefore it can only be sold to a non-Maryland
resident. I have an unwritten rule of not keeping any office vehicle for more than one month, and sadly my time with this Saab has run out, but after this experience, I will now be keeping my eyes out for more Saabs to enjoy. The result of the one-month rule is that someone will be getting a great vehicle at what I suspect will be a very reasonable price. As you can see from the condition description, there are some little detractors from the car, it's not in pristine condition, but take a good look at the pictures and condition description and you will see the problems are minor and inexpensive fixes. The only difficult fix may be the air-conditioner, which was over-filled with Freon by the previous owner. The excess pressure has been drained and the mechanic who we go to for A/C said the increased pressure likely caused the malfunction and some new bearings and seals would be the least expensive fix, though it may require a new compressor. The mechanic seemed convinced that the bearings and seals will likely fix the problem (~$140), but it may need more and I want to be straight up about the possibilities, no surprises. That being said, the faults in the car are very minor, while the key components of the vehicle, the engine, turbo, drive train, are strong and ready for the road. You'll be surprised just as I was that first time you go to make a pass, push the gas, hear the turbo spool up and get pushed into your seat by the sprite little 2.0L. This car was really delight to drive and I'll be happy to pass it along to the next person who never new a Saab was like this. PLEASE READ: This car is less than
20 years old, and is not MD State Inspected, so it can only be sold to a
non-Maryland resident. Payment is to be made in
cash. Paypal and Bank

negative feedback must contact me prior to bidding – I will delete your bids
otherwise. Please do not send me angry emails when you bid without contacting
me, and then find that I have deleted your bids, I have had some bad experiences with false bidders and after some lengthy discussions with ebay support, this was the only option they gave me to avoid a repeat of those experience. This car is sold AS
IS, with NO WARRANTY. Please examine the photos, and contact me if you have any questions. Serious bidders are

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.
Spyker files $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors over Saab's demise
Mon, 06 Aug 2012"Smack." That's the sound of Spyker's process server dropping a big ol' pile of legal documents on the doorstep of The Renaissance Center, home of General Motors - or wherever GM's attorneys live during business hours. Contained therein is a Complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and demanding a jury trial, that seeks $3 billion in damages due to "the unlawful actions GM took to avoid competition with Saab Automobile in the Chinese market." Spyker accuses GM of "tortiously interfering" with Saab's business relationship with Chinese automaker Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile (Youngman), actions that Spyker CEO Victor Muller (above) said "deliberately drove Saab Automobile into bankruptcy."
(From Wikipedia: "Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships.")
The interference in question specifically refers to the very last potential deal, called the Framework Agreement, that Spyker worked out with Youngman. With lots of GM engineering embedded into the 9-4X and 9-5, The General had the right to approve any Saab partnership that would involve the transfer of GM intellectual property. Spyker had been rebuffed over every previous deal with a Chinese firm, including two bids by Youngman, due to GM concerns over its IP getting into Chinese hands and having to face Chinese-market competitors using its technology. The Complaint alleges that the Framework Agreement would have put a firewall around all GM IP - Youngman would only work on Saab's Phoenix platform, said to be just about free of GM tech, and would have no access to 9-3, 9-4X or 9-5 technology until after Saab ceased all ties to GM.
NEV deal to buy Saab delayed
Fri, 03 Aug 2012Remember a month and a half ago when we told you that Saab will "soldier on?" Well, we should have written "stand at attention."
According to SaabsUnited, the deal for National Electric Vehicle Sweden to buy the remaining Saab assets didn't close on schedule. In fact, it's been delayed by "a month, perhaps more." NEVS also seems to have indicated that it's not going to be answering any more questions about the deal until it's completed.
NEVS is supposedly planning on building electric cars based on the design that would have been the next-generation 9-3. The company itself is a partnership between a Chinese energy company and a Japanese investment group.
