2001 Saab 9-5 Aero Sedan 4-door 2.3l on 2040-cars
Harrodsburg, Kentucky, United States
|
This is my wife's 2001 Saab 9-5 Aero. Purchased from Quantrell Caddilac/Volvo/Saab of Lexington, Ky in 2004. Previous owner was one of the salesman's wife. This car has every option available on the Saab 9-5 Aero, too many to list here, but I will list some options not usually mentioned: Heated front and rear seats. Sport mode button for fun. Winter mode button for bad weather. Wood grain trim console and dash package. Power moon roof, works like new, no leaks. Coolest cup holder in the world. Feel free to look up all the options this car has. The odometer is currently reading 77,454, BUT this car had a brand new from factory engine installed by Quantrell Saab of Lexington, Ky at the 49,700 mile odometer reading. Covered under warranty. Thus net mileage on new engine is 28K. New MoMo wheels and less than 20K miles on new tires. I have all the paperwork to validate all of the above. Paint job is in excellent condition considering this is a 14 year old car. Power steering pump apparently failed yesterday, thus the reason for this posting. We had been cosidering selling it anyway due to now having grand children and needing more room for them and their stuff. Car runs great except no power steering. You will need trailer if you want to purchase. Besides what I believe to be power steering pump failure, the only other issues with the car are that the drivers side window has jumped off track twice since we have owned the vehicle. Local mechanic fixed it both times quickly, stating the plastic track roller broke both times. I have and extra one of these I will give you. The drivers side power door lock is not working but I think it's because the mechanic who fixed the window forgot to connect it. The wood grain trim on drivers side below shifter has curled up a little at the corner and I tried to fix it with glue during cold weather and it cracked and broke off. About in inch in size but still in place. Also the OnStar antenna base has dried and cracked. Other than the above, car looks like new and runs great. Hopefully a Saab collector sees this post because I've had several strangers ask me about this car in the past. I also have a hard copy Haynes Saab 9-5 Owners Workshop Manual I found on Ebay that I will give you. No modifications have been made to this car. It is 100% stock.

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.
Vampire Weekend burns for Saab
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Or is it the other way around?
Could Vampire Weekend be trying to tell me something? A just-launched music video for the indie rock band's new single Diane Young features what looks like a pretty mint black Saab 900 Turbo Convertible being torched in slow-motion. In fact, with the exception of a brief, flickering cameo by a 900 three-door of a similar vintage, that's all that there is to the nearly three-minute long video. It's both sad and oddly beautiful.
Coincidentally, I have a similar-looking turbocharged black Saab convertible sitting in my garage, and I've been reluctantly pondering its sale this very week. Admittedly, mine is a later model (2001 9-3 Viggen), but tri-spokes and more tapered rump aside, it looks eerily identical. And while mine isn't mired in flames (I love it too much to torch it), through no fault of its own, it's been sitting motionless far too regularly. Thankfully, I see a better future for it than the droptop seen above.
GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect
Fri, 13 Jun 2014General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.
