Saab 9-3 1999 Hatchback 9 3 on 2040-cars
Nashville, Tennessee, United States
|
For auction is my wife's 1999 Saab 9-3. She all but stopped driving it when she went back to school and so it has been sitting outside for about 3 years now. Now that she has graduated and is working nearby where she doesn't have to drive we have decided to part with it. Because it has been sitting the battery no longer holds a charge, but it does start up fine with a jump and the level of charge quickly increases as read by a meter. It drives and shifts smoothly. There are a few spots of exterior damage which I have documented in the photos. The plastic case that goes around one of the back seat belts is separated but can could probably be easily be snapped back in place--it does not effect the actual use of the seatbelt. A good portion of LCD display does not display properly with missing lines going through the information on the screen. The knobs that adjust the thermostat are loose and often come out but can be put back in place. The tires still have a lot of tread left in them. The sunroof works fine and makes the car even more fun to drive. It has heated seats and the leather interior is in good shape. It has a leather wrapped steering wheel and sport driving mode. The remote to unlock/lock the doors does not work, even after replacing the battery. The hatchback opens fine but does not stay open without holding it up. The owners manual and Saab branded leather case for it are included. In the past it has at times made a sound while running that we believe was from the air compressor, but the ac blows cold and when I drove it around my neighborhood this morning the sound was not happening. In fact driving it around the neighborhood this morning was a lot of fun and almost made me decide not to sell it but since we don't need it I am moving forward with the plan.
I have tried to disclose any and all known issues but since it hasn't been getting much use there is a chance there are things that I am not aware of. For this reason I am selling it "as is" with a low reserve. Thank you very much for checking out my auction. Please email me if you have any questions or if you are in the Nashville area and would like to check it out. |

Saab plant reopens, production to resume by year's end?
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Saab is gearing up to start production of the 9-3 again in September, two years after the last exampled rolled off the assembly line at the company's Trollhättan factory, Aftonbladet reports. Saab's new owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS), a Chinese-Japanese consortium created solely to buy Saab, says that the model's parts supply is the bottleneck in the production process, understandable since many of Saab's suppliers closed after it stopped production two years ago. The automaker also needs to establish a new dealership network. It is not entirely clear where Saab will market their new models, but North America is not expected to figure into their plans, at least initially.
Almost 400 factory employees are reportedly back working at Trollhättan, and Saab is looking to recruit 180 workers to help with production, presuming the factory can overcome its supply issues and go back online in the fall.
The new 9-3 is understood to be something short of an all-new car, a revision of the old 9-3 that started production in 2002. It will reportedly be offered initially as a four-door sedan and two-door convertible, and it will have a turbocharged engine, according to NEVS, which we expect will be a four cylinder. An electric 9-3 could come as early as next year. Turbocharged engines are part of Saab's DNA, NEVS Vice President Mattias Bergman has stated, and future Saab models will have them - despite the automaker's planned progression toward electric vehicles. The 9-3 will get small facelifts over time, says Mikael Östlund, a press officer at NEVS.
GM recalling 524k vehicles over hood latches and toe link nuts
Fri, 03 Oct 2014Just hours after confirming to Autoblog its intention to recall 97,540 vehicles in the US (117,651 in North America) for a possible manufacturing defect in the chassis control module of several models, General Motors is issuing two more campaigns that affect another 379,401 units in the US (524,384 in North America).
One campaign covers 290,107 US examples of the 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX and the 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X because the "rear toe link adjuster lock nuts" may be improperly torqued. If not up to spec, the toe adjuster link could separate and allow the wheel to shift while driving, making the handling unstable. GM says that it knows of three crashes and two injuries as a result of this problem. Dealers are inspecting the nuts and installing a new link assembly, if necessary. Autoblog first reported about this potential issue when it showed up on a list of recalls from Transport Canada.
The second recall is for 89,294 examples of the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark in the US manufactured from January 17, 2012, through July 29, 2014. According to GM, "corrosion can cause the secondary hood latch striker to stick in the open position." If this happens, and the primary latch also isn't engaged for some reason, the hood could fly open while driving. About 13,000 of these affected Sparks are at dealers and are being held until repaired. The fix requires replacing the hood striker. GM isn't aware of crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem.
Spyker's $3B lawsuit against GM for blocking Saab sale thrown out
Tue, 11 Jun 2013US District Judge Gershwin Drain has dismissed a $3-billion lawsuit Spyker filed against General Motors. In the suit, Spyker accused GM of attempting to bankrupt Saab after the US automaker had already sold the company to Spyker. GM in effect blocked the sale of Saab to China's Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile Company by prohibiting the transfer of some of its intellectual property. But the court found that GM had a "contractual right" to approve or disapprove any change of ownership. Furthermore, Reuters reports Judge Drain said the contract between GM and Spyker "is clear, unambiguous and absolute" on the matter.
GM, meanwhile, says it is pleased with the ruling. Spyker CEO Victor Muller has not said whether or not his company will appeal the ruling. The Dutch automaker is expected to make a final decision once the court issues its written order on the case.
