We understand that buying a vehicle online can sometimes leave you un-easy. We are aware that there are other dealers online that do not fully describe the vehicles listed. They might leave important information out, or not have a thorough description of that item.

Our goal is simple. We aim to be honest and fair with all of our deals. Word of mouth and return business has gotten us this far. We achieve this by providing you with all of the information YOU need to make a comfortable decision, and hopefully proceeding to your investment, a vehicle! We strive for A+ satisfaction. We do not want to waste anyone’s time, and definitely don’t want to mislead you. This is why we inform you of EVERYTHING we know, and provide you with detailed descriptions and conditions of the item for sale. Business is expanding, explaining the new eBay account.

The Saab 9-5 linear is a very well-engineered Swedish machine. Saab started out first with the intent to build airplanes. Demand was low shortly after so with the same engineering they soon started building cars. Kind of like B.M.W., these vehicles are not built like your average American or foreign car.

This is not your older Saab; they claim that there were 1,100 changes to substantially improve this generation. These are very thoroughly built with comfort, convenience and SAFETY in mind for you, the consumer. Did you know that the Saab 9-3 and 9-5 were the first cars in the world to earn the max score in a side impact crash test? The standard side impact airbags have a lot to do with this. Saab decided to carry this to every car no matter what budget.

The experts from the consumer guide rated this car a 58, same as the Volkswagen Passat. Impressive! The BMW 3-series was rated lower at 56. Volvo’s S40 rated 47. Mercedes-Benz C-class rated a 46 and the Audi A4 received a 45. These are based upon 10 different categories from ‘99-‘02. Saab’s 9-3 beat all of these high end vehicles and most likely you never knew or considered Saab. People are starting to catch on and now. VW is in high demand, just like Honda was and still is. Be ahead of the game and buy a Saab now before the prices become unfair.

Yes, Saab filed bankruptcy and they are no longer in business as of right now. I have heard people are scared as their concern is about parts and labor. There will always be parts available in the replacement and modification market. They are not harder to find than any other car nor more expensive. They might be a little harder to find than Honda, because they are not mass produced, low quality parts. As for the labor side, any mechanic can work on these vehicles. I have not heard of different rates because it is a Saab. This is not a Porsche, where a tune up is going to cost you $500. An oil change is going to cost the same as your average car and you don’t need to be an engineer to do it yourself. I thought it would be nice to share some information I have learned over time.

Finally…

INTERIOR: Saab’s generally attract buyers that are very meticulous and neat. This 9-5 looks barely worn. The black leather seats look great, no rips, tears and barely even creased. Carpets look good. There are no offensive odors in the car. The spare tire, jack and tools are all still there. The quality and workmanship shows in this vehicle. I noticed the ‘night mode button’ and I had to push it. This shuts off or dims the lights that are not important for the driver. This creates less distraction for the driver when driving in the night. I think this feature would be great for the women. I noticed the dash cup holder does work properly, and there is one in the center console. I think there is a component part not functioning properly. I have not noticed any significant signs of wear. The A/C was cold and easy to use. The sunroof works great and all the windows. Everything works!

EXTERIOR: The body looks straight and sharp! With its own unique look similar to none it is very sleek looking. There are no obvious scratches of dents. There is a small ding on the driver side of the rear door. The tires all look great as you can see in the pictures. The fog light covers are gone, but it is actually barely noticeable.

MOTOR/HANDLING: The Saab 9-5 was very impressive to drive. Saab did not lack in any category as far as, acceleration, suspension, comfort, ease of use. This car definitely feels safe to be in. I can feel the turbo spoil up and the boost gauge works properly indicating everything is running smooth. It is very risky to buy a car online without knowing the condition of the turbo. The gears went in smooth and the clutch is very sensitive, feels new. The suspension felt great and steering was excellent. This is a fun daily driver, safe, reliable, and sporty. I admire the EcoPower engine. It was designed to put out high power and torque when it is needed, BUT still delivers good fuel economy and low emissions. I looked up the avg. mpg for this car and found people are averaging 28.5 miles per gallon in the gas engines. I think anywhere around that would be great. When I was driving I noticed the check endine light is on, ABS light, Brake light, and the speedometer was not working. The code ready P1625 and I did some research. This is a SIMPLE FIX. If you clean the ABS TCS module, all of these problems are linked and they will all be fixed. At worst case just buy a new one for under $100. Saablink.net will provide you with the same info, just do some light research. This car feels very reliable and I would have no doubt in driving it across the country. It was taken on a 3 hour drive with no problems!

To sum up this car, this car is probably what most of you are looking for, something safe for your first time driver, cheap, and easy to insure also. Are you looking for a gas efficient car that’s not from the 90’s? Or maybe you are looking for a daily driver, something to put miles on, either way this car has got you covered and it should deliver more than what you need. This car will get you where you need to be safe and cost effective, and it will last you as long as you need it. It is just broken in. It is simple, if you need a car like this for cheap, just buy it!

NEVS announces 200 layoffs as it says Saab restart will 'take time'

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

For a fleeting moment a few weeks ago, the news from Saab-owner National Electric Vehicle Sweden appeared almost positive. The company had its reorganization plan approved (a day after it was denied), and the automaker was actually showing a real, running vehicle, albeit one with a top speed of 75 miles per hour. But those tiny crumbs of potential goodness have been swept away because NEVS has announced layoffs of as many as 200 factory employees in September "due to lack of work."
Workers probably shouldn't get too eager to return to the factory either, because company's "decision to re-start production will be further delayed" by an unspecified amount of time, NEVS says in a press release. To begin assembling cars again, the company needs to find long-term funding and a new majority owner. Those seem like two very steep hurdles for the embattled automaker to clear.
Despite not producing cars since May, NEVS still claims it's negotiating with a new owner, possibly Mahindra, but according to Reuters, the Swedish company owes about 400 million kronor ($56 million) to creditors. According to its layoff announcement, getting rid of these workers is one step in the business' reorganization plan to be presented on October 8. Scroll down to read its full release.

Saab plant reopens, production to resume by year's end?

Mon, 19 Aug 2013

Saab is gearing up to start production of the 9-3 again in September, two years after the last exampled rolled off the assembly line at the company's Trollhättan factory, Aftonbladet reports. Saab's new owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS), a Chinese-Japanese consortium created solely to buy Saab, says that the model's parts supply is the bottleneck in the production process, understandable since many of Saab's suppliers closed after it stopped production two years ago. The automaker also needs to establish a new dealership network. It is not entirely clear where Saab will market their new models, but North America is not expected to figure into their plans, at least initially.
Almost 400 factory employees are reportedly back working at Trollhättan, and Saab is looking to recruit 180 workers to help with production, presuming the factory can overcome its supply issues and go back online in the fall.
The new 9-3 is understood to be something short of an all-new car, a revision of the old 9-3 that started production in 2002. It will reportedly be offered initially as a four-door sedan and two-door convertible, and it will have a turbocharged engine, according to NEVS, which we expect will be a four cylinder. An electric 9-3 could come as early as next year. Turbocharged engines are part of Saab's DNA, NEVS Vice President Mattias Bergman has stated, and future Saab models will have them - despite the automaker's planned progression toward electric vehicles. The 9-3 will get small facelifts over time, says Mikael Östlund, a press officer at NEVS.

Last 900 Saabs heading to auction

Fri, 22 Jun 2012

If you've been wanting to get your hands on one last new Saab but missed out on the great Saab sell-off when Saab Cars North America declared bankruptcy, well, your ship has now come in.
Actually, it came in last year - but hundreds of new Saabs got waylaid at ports in California and New Jersey because of the bankruptcy, according to SaabWorld.net. Those cars are now slated for auction, some 900 of them, which will be available for dealers, exporters and rental car companies to bid on beginning next week. Eventually, 300 of these cars should make their way to Saab dealers, where they're expected to be sold off at 30- to 50-percent discounts. The other 600 will either be exported or used as rentals, according to the report, so "the price of Saabs will not be severely depressed."
Besides the new cars, some 67 company cars, including some interesting stuff like a 1960 Saab Quantum IV and a 1970 Sonnett III, will also be auctioned off, according to the report. Of the new cars, just over half are 9-5 models, some 400 are 9-3 sedans, another 60 are 9-3 wagons, and about a dozen are convertibles. According to the report, 28 are actually 9-4X crossovers, which is more than 10 percent of Saab's total 2011 sales for that model.
