2003 SAAB 9-5 Linear 2.3L TURBO!! 100% Ebay rating This 2003 SAAB 9-5 is a good running car with 179K miles. Has normal wear and tear and a few extra dings. This is not a new car, but runs well. It does need a few things and I list with "buyer eyes" so there are no surprises. I want to keep my good rating. Bid with confidence, but also ASK QUESTIONS before bidding. It is my daily runner to college, but with our rough PA winter the potholes gave me some trouble and now I get a noise and vibration on the front right tire. I am ready for something newer. I think it could be a bent tie-rod end or a wheel bearing finally gave out. Bid expecting to make that repair. It passed inspection until August 2014. Moonroof motor is tired, but works. Trunk motor stopped working so I removed it and was going to buy a new one on ebay. It has been removed, but I didn't buy that part yet. I will give you the old motor so you have the right part. Tires are in good shape. Interior good shape. Radio and sound system are great. This would be a great car for someone looking for a decent European car. Engine oil changed regularly. This has a low reserve and starting at $100. Upon winning the bid you must pay 20% via PAYPAL. This deposit is non-refundable. The balance is due upon pick-up. Please only bid if you plan to buy. You can drive this home, but you will hear the noise I'm talking about... or you could flatbed it if you are worried about the vibration. I really like the styling of this SAAB and it had a very smooth ride until the pothole deal. The Turbo kicks in great. No fluid leaks that I know about. Always used premium gas to keep it running nicely. I bought this a couple of years ago from a neighbor that had a salvage title because he had a small accident on the front end. He had all the repairs done & in PA you have to have it re-inspected (a very stringent inspection) before they re-issue a title. For that matter, the car has to pass inspection every year. So you are getting a good car here. Feel free to ask questions via ebay. Good luck bidding! |

Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Nordic countries are known for their beautiful fjords, blonde-haired populace and bitter cold for a good portion of the year. The hours spent indoors during the dark, cold season apparently gives a lot of time for some crazy brainstorming. Tire store chain Vianor is highlighting the Traktor Terror in a new video. If Ken Block is the master of Gymkhana, then these guys know all about Farmkhana in their custom, turbocharged tractor.
According to the YouTube description from Vianor, the tractor is a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier with an added roll cage, adjustable front suspension and extended frame. The engine is thoroughly Swedish, and it's based on a Volvo 940 Turbo with a Volvo 240 head and Volvo 740 intercooler. However, it uses a Saab turbo Prospark ignition and fuel system. All told, the setup is claimed to make 225 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
That's not crazy power, but this tractor can certainly put it down. The farm machine has no problem smoking those big rear wheels and drifts easily.... although, it may be a tiny little bit unstable (hence the roll cage). If nothing else, this looks like the world's most fun way to be a farmer, that's for sure.
Spyker files $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors over Saab's demise
Mon, 06 Aug 2012"Smack." That's the sound of Spyker's process server dropping a big ol' pile of legal documents on the doorstep of The Renaissance Center, home of General Motors - or wherever GM's attorneys live during business hours. Contained therein is a Complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and demanding a jury trial, that seeks $3 billion in damages due to "the unlawful actions GM took to avoid competition with Saab Automobile in the Chinese market." Spyker accuses GM of "tortiously interfering" with Saab's business relationship with Chinese automaker Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile (Youngman), actions that Spyker CEO Victor Muller (above) said "deliberately drove Saab Automobile into bankruptcy."
(From Wikipedia: "Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships.")
The interference in question specifically refers to the very last potential deal, called the Framework Agreement, that Spyker worked out with Youngman. With lots of GM engineering embedded into the 9-4X and 9-5, The General had the right to approve any Saab partnership that would involve the transfer of GM intellectual property. Spyker had been rebuffed over every previous deal with a Chinese firm, including two bids by Youngman, due to GM concerns over its IP getting into Chinese hands and having to face Chinese-market competitors using its technology. The Complaint alleges that the Framework Agreement would have put a firewall around all GM IP - Youngman would only work on Saab's Phoenix platform, said to be just about free of GM tech, and would have no access to 9-3, 9-4X or 9-5 technology until after Saab ceased all ties to GM.
Mahindra eying stake in Saab owner NEVS?
Tue, 17 Jun 2014It'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.
