 2001 9-5 Sedan with under 9,000 miles.

Premium package with Harmon Kardon Audio, Memory Drivers seat, Heated Seats

 I purchased  this car to replace my daughter's 9-3 which has 140,000 miles. She has decided to keep her car and I have a 9-3 Anniversary edition for my daily driver so the 9-5 needs a new home.

 Condition is as you would expect for the mileage. There are a few cosmetic flaws in the black painted finish on the trim around the sunroof and rear window. Other than that the exterior, body and paint, etc. are close to perfect. When I bought the car from the daughter of the original owner the body needed three areas repaired, the lower rear right front fender and the left front wheel arch were creased and the rear bumper had minor damage to the right corner. These were repaired professionally and are now in as new condition.

Interior is also pristine, no rips, tears, wear areas on the upholstery or trim. There are two flaws, one is that the center emblem on the steering wheel has lost it's decal, the other is that the trim around the shifter had a small crack in it. I bought a replacement and will have it installed prior to final sale.

Mechanically there's not much to say, there really are no issues. The car starts , runs , and sounds as new. Engine is very quiet and smooth, no squeaks, rattles or looseness in the suspension. I also have a 2000 Aero with over 120k, nice well maintained car but the difference is striking. Rotors and pads have minor wear as would be expected. Tires are fresh Pirelli P-7's and have less than 1k on them.

Please look at the photos and feel free to ask any questions. I have also listed her for sale locally, therefore I reserve the right to cancel this auction early.

Super sleeper Saab 900 does 174 mph in the standing mile

Sun, 14 Apr 2013

Somewhere behind Hennessey setting a new top speed record at this year's Texas Mile with its camouflage Ford GT, a stock-looking 1996 Saab 900T pulled up to the line to see what it could do. The dealer showroom wheels wouldn't offer any indication that the 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood was getting help from a Garrett turbocharger, a tuned ECU and E85 gas to put out 465 horsepower at the front wheels.
Knowing that, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that at the other end of the mile the sky blue Swedish wonder was doing 174 miles per hour. The four-cylinder class at the Texas Mile has plenty such rockets, too, this Swede coming just behind a Dodge Neon that did 175.8 mph. You can watch the Saab do its thing in the video below.

Mahindra eying stake in Saab owner NEVS?

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

It's ironic that Saab's current vehicle architecture is called the Phoenix platform, because like the mythological bird, the company keeps returning from the ashes. That's right, the embattled Swedish automaker isn't completely dead yet. Again. Actually, it may be facing yet another buyout, and this time, the buyer may be from India.
Less than a month ago, the situation looked ominous for Saab. National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the carmaker's current owner, temporarily shut down 9-3 production at its Trollhättan factory not long after restarting it in the first place. According to Just Auto, it laid off about 100 consultants allegedly linked to problems making June payroll, as well. At the time, Saab claimed that the measures were temporary, and it was negotiating selling part ownership to another automaker.
Those assertions might have some truth behind them, it seems. Indian newspaper The Economic Times reports that Mahindra & Mahindra and an unnamed Asian automaker are negotiating with NEVS to purchase part of the company. It claims that the Indian automaker sees Saab as an opportunity to add a premium brand to its business.

2014 Saab 9-3 officially relaunched, reborn

Thu, 05 Dec 2013

Saab is officially building cars again. Production of the 9-3 Sedan has kicked back off in Trollhättan, Sweden, and the first example is reportedly earmarked for the company's museum. Initial sales are targeted for China, although Swedish customers will also be able to buy new Saabs built in their country right away, too. It isn't immediately clear if the model will be available in the rest of Europe, let alone in North America.
The initial run of 9-3s will be powered by a 220-horsepower, 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder before an electric model joins the range next year. There are no Biopower or XWD all-wheel-drive models presently in production. And while the lion's share of the 2014 9-3 is a carryover from the pre-bankruptcy car, there are some changes, including a new anti-whiplash seat system and a "greater number of non-GM parts," reports SaabsUnited.
"I am very proud of the dedication and the focus that NEVS management and employees have demonstrated over the year that has passed since we became owners of the plant in Trollhättan, and who have made this possible. Swedish expertise along with Japanese technology around batteries and new lightweight materials and our Chinese group's focus on green technology is our strength for the future," said Kai Johan Jiang, the founder of Saab's parent company, National Electric Vehicle Sweden.
