You can bid with confidence on this classic 900S with an 89 SPG retrofit. It has a normally aspirated engine(which is why the transmission still works). The car is originally a California car and I moved it to Indiana 2 years ago. Only serviced by Saab enthusiast mechanics, but it  hasn't needed much since I bought it 5 years ago, with 165,000 miles on it. 

You are looking at a classic Saab, so I presume you know something  about these cars.
Here is the skinny; New (excellent used)bronze tinted windshield, new front brake pads, new throttle dashpot, new spark plugs, newer fuel pump, Right side outer CVJ boot, newer AC fan. Headliner is 5 years old and a little stained. The seats are out of a 90,000 mile car so they are comfortable and purple. Has typical aftermarket Alpine stereo but CD does not work, has MP3 dock input.
The Air conditioner works and was retrofitted 4 years ago with R134 refrigerant.
I have recently taken 2 cross country trips with this car. One to the outer limits of Maine and the other to South Carolina. The only issue was with the shift shaft coupler which was replaced.
This car consistently gets 33 MPG on the highway and does not burn ANY oil.
Now for what I know that it needs; Steering rack leaks, steering knuckle binds. Needs a new exhaust, but is wrapped and quiet! The central lock does not work, due to wire insulation deterioration and a short somewhere. This deterioration is also occurring on the wires to the cruise control and it will disengage over a stiff bump. The vacuum hoses for this unit are new so this is not the issue. As I said it works.
Fuel filler neck leaks, I have the replacement. Tachometer works intermittently.
A good freeze, helped to tear the weatherstrip loose on the drivers door, so there is some leakage that occurs when it rains. I doubt there is rust under this area, but this needs to be addressed.
I painted this car myself 5 years ago, spot filler only in body(really) and replaced the passenger door and hood from different cars. there are no dents, no rust through(anywhere) including front suspension trouble area!
This is a 27 year old car with 252,000 miles on it. It is by no means perfect but I obviously will drive it anywhere AND SO CAN YOU. IT NEEDS SOME THINGS, but I am done with it. This has been a truly wonderful and fun car and by far the best car of my 31 cars, that I have ever owned!!!
I have extra SPG parts for left and right middle section of the car along with the rails. Many extra parts as shown, including nice bright Hella headlights. Also a tow bumper and a tow bar. I moved with this behind a motorhome.

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General 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.

Saab 900 SPG is the latest Petrolicious love story

Thu, 03 Oct 2013

The latest video from the crew at Petrolicious covers one funky Swede - a 1989 Saab 900 SPG. Produced from 1978 to 1998, the 900 enjoyed a long history, and thanks to its iconic look, it's quickly becoming a modern classic for the off-kilter car enthusiast. The SPG, short for Special Performance Group, makes this a particularly rare find, with owner Jordan Melville saying, "I didn't even realize what I had at the time."
Melville gives a rundown of his life with the 900 and his passion for Saab overall, even reflecting on that dark day that saw the Swedish brand closed its doors. As always, the videography is excellent and the story is intriguing in this latest video from Petrolicious. You can view the entire video down below.

GM denies Spyker claims in $3B Saab lawsuit

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Reuters reports General Motors has dismissed claims by Spyker outlined in a $3 billion lawsuit. Spyker alleged GM deliberately bankrupted Saab by preventing a deal with Chinese investor Zhejiang Youngman Lotus. GM, meanwhile, filed a response with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan saying that as the former owner of Saab, GM had the legal right to approve the deal with Youngman. But Spyker's lawsuit claimed GM's refusal to approve the deal with Youngman stemmed from the fact that the American automaker didn't want to create a competitor in China.
GM has said the issue stemmed more from the fact that it would stop licensing its technology to Saab or stop building vehicles for the manufacturer in the event it was bought by Youngman. Since Saab built its own platform that didn't use any GM tech, Spyker says that argument is meritless.
The lawsuit has Spyker seeking $3 billion in compensatory damages, though that number could swell with interest, punitive damages and legal fees, as well. Victor Muller, Spyker chief executive, has said the lawsuit is being funded by an anonymous third party. That party will share in any settlement. Youngman has refused to comment on whether or not it's footing the legal bill.
