2008 Saab Turbo 9-3 (handyman Special) on 2040-cars
Johnson City, New York, United States
Selling my 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0 Turbo. This is a handyman special as there is damage to the driver side rear passenger door, quarter panel, and tail light. The good news is that I have purchased a replacement door, quarter panel, and tail light for you to install that come with the vehicle in the matching red color (See Pictures). There are some scratches on the bumper where the quarter panel meets but the bumper does not need to be replaced. There is also a couple of small dents that could be popped out on the passenger side of the car. Car comes with a clean title. (Not Salvage) The damage occurred a few years ago when a UPS truck swiped it when it was parked on the street. Rather than claiming it to the insurance company UPS cut the previous owner a check on the spot. There is no damage to the frame. The car as actually been driven as is since the incident with no issues to report what so ever. Car also comes with an extra set of 16 inch rims. There is nothing wrong with the car mechanically. I acquired this vehicle from a friend on compensation for some debt that was owed to me. I had all intentions of fixing it up and keeping it as a gas saver and second vehicle but I decided to try to sell it because I could use the cash for some other projects. I also do not know of any mechanics where I can get a fair deal to fix it. Had it quoted at a local body shop that charges an outrageous amount per hour and they said they could fix it for around $2,000. This is an ideal project car if you can do it yourself or know a cheap collision repair specialist. As mentioned before the parts are in the original color which was lucky of my to find. So as far as paint is concerned there will only have to be blending.

Saab's latest Chinese owners facing their own credit woes
Sat, 16 Aug 2014Poor Saab, it can't seem to get a break. General Motors couldn't seem to make a go of it, neither could Spyker, and now it seems that its latest owner is encountering some problems of its own.
That owner, of course, is National Electric Vehicle Sweden, a Swedish holding company owned by Chinese investors. NEVS recently restarted production at the Saab plant in Trollhättan, Sweden, and had some ambitious plans for the brand's revival, but it appears to have run out of cash.
This according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, which discovered that NEVS is having trouble paying its suppliers. One such supplier, called Labo Test, has reportedly been owed some $22,000 by NEVS since February, and without payment, petitioned the Swedish government to place NEVS into bankruptcy proceedings. If that seems a little extreme to you over twenty-two grand, it would seem the parties agree, as the petition has reportedly since been withdrawn.
New owners still struggling to secure rights to use Saab name
Wed, 27 Jun 2012Not to state the obvious, but if you're going to buy an automaker, it's probably advisable to secure rights to use the name.
That's what the new owners of Saab are trying to work out after buying the iconic Swedish automaker earlier this month, Automotive News reports.
National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), the Chinese-Japanese conglomerate, acquired the company's physical assets, including its factory in Trollhättan, but didn't get rights to use the Saab name and logo. Truckmaker Scania and defense company Saab AB maintain the name and logo rights, and will need to sign off on NEVS using it, according to the publication. The parties are in discussions.
Saab's never-was 9-3 gets a few better looks
Sat, 23 Mar 2013The recent glimpses we've been getting of the never-was Saab 9-3 Phoenix must be like rubbing salt on the wounds of all the Saab fans out there. If that's the case, diehard Saab enthusiasts might want to look away from this. SaabWorld has uncovered a handful of shots of what was to be the next-generation 9-3 hatchback, and boy does it look sharp.
Revealing a clearer look at what we previously saw in grainy images or as a full-scale model, these new pictures show what Jason Castriota had in mind for the new car. The front end is obviously inspired by Saab's Phoenix Concept, while the rear of the car pays homage to the Saab 900 hatchback.
We like the overall look. Let us know what you think in the Comments.
