No Reserve!

We are selling our 2001 Saab 9-5 SE Wagon as i will be inheriting my wife's Volvo. I have used this car for a long work commute for the last year and it has performed perfectly. We purchased it in October of 2012 with 120,000 miles on it. Prior to my ownership it had two Colorado owners both of whom garaged the car. At 120,000 miles, when we purchased it, I installed a new throttle body, new front brake rotors and pads, new swaybar end links links and new Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires. In addition, all of the other routine maintenance items were addressed such a flluids changed, etc. Every 5000 miles we change the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic oil. At 140,000 miles it developed a whining sound which turned out to be the alternator. So we replaced the alternator as well as the serpentine belt. The timing belt and water pump were replaced by the previous owner at 105,000 miles so this car will be due to have the timing belt replaced in about 20,000 miles at 165,000 miles.

ITEMS OF NOTE

3.0L Turbo engine- in 80% interstate and 20% city driving I typically average 26-27 miles to the gallon. The most fun to drive up I-70 I have every driven.

Leather heated front and rear seats- all seat heaters working properly

Traction control- works amazingly well. My commute includes some mountain driving and I never felt like I needed all wheel drive.

Onstar system works properly with the antenna in tact. I am not a subscriber, but you could be it you chose to.

All pixels on the center display work properly as does the temperature, trip computer, average miles per gallon, etc.

Front and side air bags for the front seats.

The rear hatch does not support itself currently. I have a replacement strut to swap in but have not spent the time to repair this item.

Half of the time on start up the system displays " Service Security System." Apparently, there is a rechargeable battery in the security system in case your main battery is disconnected or dead. After years of use this will get low on charge and need to be replaced. I priced this part and decided I could live with hitting CLEAR on the display occasionally as it does not effect the security system or the reliability of the car.

There is a slight coolant leak somewhere in the left front part of the engine bay. It does not drip and there is not a coolant odor however, I have to top off the coolant about once per oil change. It has been such a minor issue that I have not taken more time to address it.

The sunroof works properly, however, there is a clip on the wind screen the occasionally will pop up and get caught when closing. I have not repaired this as I usually use it in flip up vent mode and it works just fine.

There are some wear spots on the driver's seat leather and some slight cracking on the front passenger seat leather.

This wagon has always been a Colorado car and has the rock chips in the hood to prove it. However, as with all Colorado cars there is not any rust.

When I purchased the wagon, the front bumper valance had been split and the fog lights were both broken. I have not taken the time to repair the valence other than to use Gorilla Tape to hold the pieces together. I replaced the existing fog lights with fillers from genuine SAAB parts and added a pair of Hella 500FF for my mountain commuting. These are wired into the factory switch and work very well. I also think they give this SAAB a unique look.

The body is very straight given the age and mileage. The only significant scratch is on the rear bumper on the passenger side that was there when we bought it. When we purchased the wagon, I took it to my local paintless dent removal shop to have the few dings taken out. You will be amazed at how straight this body is. The paint shines nicely- a result of many years of being kept in the garage.

The original spare tire has never been used. The original luggage net is in the rear compartment still in the original bag.

I have both keys with the built in key fob and the owner's manual.

Clear Colorado title in hand.

I welcome anyone who would like to come take a look and drive the car prior to bidding.

GM recalling 524k vehicles over hood latches and toe link nuts

Fri, 03 Oct 2014

Just 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.

NEVS completes Saab purchase, earns right to brand name but not griffin badge

Mon, 03 Sep 2012

According to the Associated Press, a Hong Kong-based concern is close to building new Saab models. After some delays, National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) has completed the purchase of bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab.
NEVS says it plans to debut an electric vehicle in about 18 months. When the car comes to market, it will wear the Saab name, but not the marque's well-known griffin logo. Reuters reports that the company will produce EVs based on the Saab 9-3 platform, with intentions to sell these vehicles primarily in the Chinese market. Due to the continued use of the distinctive griffin head logo by commercial truckmaker Scania and the Saab aerospace group, NEVS was only granted access to the Saab name, not its emblem.

Victor Muller to pay Sweden back taxes for Saab work

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

Victor Muller, Saab's CEO from 2010 to 2011, has been ordered by the Swedish court to pay the back taxes he owes the country for his work at Saab, Autoweek and Volkskrant report. When he was the automaker's CEO he received a salary of about 8 million Swedish Krona ($1.25 million), which was recorded as a reward for consultancy work for a company in the US that Muller owns. The move allowed him to evade taxes for awhile, but the court has ordered him to pay taxes on his full salary.
Muller, who is also CEO of Spyker, and two other Saab executives were accused of accounting fraud in May, which took place in 2010 and 2011. According to reports, Muller maintains that he is not subject to taxes in Sweden.
