1999 Saab 9-5 Wagon, near perfect body with just a very few small scuffs and tiny rock chips, no dings, dents or paint flaws, see pics. Black leather interior in great shape, heated front and rear seats with power controls and 3-way memory settings; small cracks and a single hole in front of drivers seat and cracked leather on center console, otherwise in perfect condition. 2.3L turbo engine with 4 speed automatic transmission is super reliable, has never let us down, powerful and economical. Stock Garrett turbo upgraded with brand new Mitsubishi GT unit from Saab 9-5 250 HP Aero model, nice increase in highway passing power and economy over stock - regularly returns 28+ MPG at 75+ hwy speeds, capable of over 32 MPG at steady 65 MPH. All engine and transmission mounts were replaced as a maintenance item less than 1000 miles ago, greatly smoothing out vibration at idle most 9-5s are known for. No leaks or drips. Silicone intercooler hoses and vacuum lines installed with new turbo. Mobil One synthetic oil and fluids throughout.
Rear seat is a 60/40 split and folds to form a long load floor - lots of room back there for camping, groceries or whatever you might need to carry. Continental Extreme DWS (Dry, Wet, Snow) all-weather Ultra-high-performance (UHP) 16" radial tires on stock Saab rims, no curb rash or oxidation. Brakes, suspension, steering all tight and work as they should. Both Sport and Winter shift modes work well. SID rebuilt a few years back, no missing pixels and all functions work. Radio & CD player sound good, has stock subwoofer built into cargo area and you can crank it! Cold AC and working heat front and rear. Cruise control, tilt wheel, front, rear and headlight wipers with new blades. Sunroof works perfectly in both modes and seals well, no water or air leaks. All glass and mirrors intact, headlights and other lenses are bright and shiny with no oxidation, power mirrors occasionally intermittent and fog light cover on one side is cracked. Has been a California/Arizona vehicle for many years so there is absolutely NO rust anywhere, body and chassis are solid and clean as can be. There is a trailer hitch and 4-pin wiring harness from a previous owner but we've never used it. Couple of small items for complete disclosure - 1: SID will occasionally display false errors such as front or rear light failure and check coolant level when there are no faults. As these go away with the push of a button never gave it much thought after confirming time and time again that there are no actual problems. 2: AC is cold (44 degrees) but left side driver's dash vent blows warm air only - a known Saab issue involving the driver side flapper door motor. All other vents work fine and the faulty vent can be completely shut off so again this does not present a problem in use. 3: Cruise control will always set fine the first time you use it but sometimes will not reset after hitting the brakes - sometimes this resolves itself right away, sometimes it takes a few miles but always eventually starts working again. At this time, these are the only issues I am aware of. This is a fine example of a clean, well maintained Saab 9-5 turbo wagon which needs nothing to enjoy driving day in and day out. This has been our long-distance travel wagon and has been smooth, comfortable and reliable on any number of 1000+ mile trips - we are only selling as we needed a manual shift wagon to flat-tow behind our motorhome, so it's been replaced by a Passat turbo wagon, which is almost, but not quite, as nice to drive as the Saab! We'll miss it! NO Reserve! Saab is sold as-is, where-is with no warranty expressed or implied. Buyer responsible for all shipping and/or travel costs, seller will cooperate with all reasonable arrangements for shipping or pickup in person. We welcome and encourage inspections during the auction period, located in Ash Fork AZ, 50 miles from Flagstaff or Prescott. Fly in to Flagstaff, Prescott, Phoenix or Las Vegas airports and drive home. Clear AZ title, no issues. Check our 100% feedback, we strive to always show items in their true condition. Thanks much for looking and have a great time bidding! |

Grainy leaked images show stillborn Castriota-designed Saab 9-3
Mon, 04 Feb 2013The Saab faithful are going to be playing the "what if" game for years to come. It's one of the burdens of being a fan of a dead brand. A fresh batch of grainy 9-3 Phoenix images have made their way online, alleged shots of a design proposal penned by none other than Jason Castriota. The five-door looks to feature an honest liftback, though SaabsUnited.com says this particular vehicle was drawn up as part of a business plan in early 2011. As such, Castriota apparently told the site the final product was to look much more athletic than what we see here. While the low-resolution images make it difficult to tell much about the design, we certainly appreciate the familiar roofline, full band taillamps and the contrasting rear spoiler reminiscent of the old Saab 99 and 900 ducktails.
Unfortunately, we know all too well why this creation never saw the light of day. Would-be savior Victor Muller couldn't quite pull Saab out of its nosedive, and the company fell into bankruptcy before the 9-3 Phoenix could get off the ground. There's talk of the Phoenix platform and Saab brand having new life in other markets as EVs and even as gas cars, but the model seen here will likely never see production - let alone North American showrooms.

Saab 900 SPG is the latest Petrolicious love story
Thu, 03 Oct 2013The latest video from the crew at Petrolicious covers one funky Swede - a 1989 Saab 900 SPG. Produced from 1978 to 1998, the 900 enjoyed a long history, and thanks to its iconic look, it's quickly becoming a modern classic for the off-kilter car enthusiast. The SPG, short for Special Performance Group, makes this a particularly rare find, with owner Jordan Melville saying, "I didn't even realize what I had at the time."
Melville gives a rundown of his life with the 900 and his passion for Saab overall, even reflecting on that dark day that saw the Swedish brand closed its doors. As always, the videography is excellent and the story is intriguing in this latest video from Petrolicious. You can view the entire video down below.
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.
