Selling my 1989 SPG. 

THIS IS A RUNNING PARTS CAR!!!
I just bought this car, kind of spur of the moment, and it turned out to have a worse rust problem than I initially realized.  I was going to cut and weld, but...no thanks.  
The rust is limited to the floor (including trunk) of this car, and the door sill/frame in that area, but its basically the whole floor.  passenger side front seems ok, but other than that its ROUGH.
Don't ask for pictures. I'm not crawling under the car. Just assume its terrible if you sit or put your feet on it- theres a reason I call this a running parts car.
The OTHER usual rust spots are actually pretty nice, like where the control arms attach to the frame.  Weird.
Anywho, this is a pretty decent running car, fires up every time, sounds ok (could use plugs/wires/general tune), the turbo seems to function as intended (I love the look on peoples faces when they get passed by this car), and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the transmission shifts with ZERO ISSUES all the way up and down the line. Clutch seems pretty good.
Power steering is on its way out the door, the tires are 70% tread BF Goodrich Touring T/As, but honestly, they are dry rotted and should be replaced. (on the other hand, I bought the car 3 hours from home and drove it straight back, at an average 80 mph, so...who knows)
Need a set of SPG rims? These are clean looking, good for 24 years old. Maybe slap some winter tires on these and swap out at the seasons?
The air and cruise don't actually work, the windows work, but the drivers switch is a tad finicky. Central locking system works.
All glass is intact. 
This car has the Saab/Clarion tape deck and eq, but the deck is locked out and the eq doesn't seem to turn on, but that may be because of the deck being locked.
The body seems to be intact, other than a little rust on the passenger fender. Drivers side fender is 100%, doors look ok, rear quarters are good. Hatch has no rust, but is all smashed up at the bottom.  Still seals and locks. Hard to get a good pic of this for some reason, but trust me when I say this hatch is done. Good thing that has to be the single easiest part to get. 
Interior is...lame. Headliner is gone, front seats need redone, dash has lots of cracks and I think someone had it out at one point. Crap as far as the eye can see.
Actually, no, the backseat is awesome. Gorgeous. Like new. Cause thats what the people want. A nice backseat.

Ok, I think I got it all.
Any questions NOT ABOUT the rusted out floor/frame rails, feel free.

Good luck.

National Electric Vehicle stops Saab 9-3 production amidst financing woes

Tue, 20 May 2014

It seems that quirky, Swedish automaker Saab might be on life support yet again. Its owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden, has announced that it's reducing its workforce and temporarily halting production of the 9-3 due to financial problems. NEVS was only building six cars a day, anyway.
The company put out a press release admitting its economic woes, but it still appeared hopeful. NEVS claims it's developing "a new platform on the Phoenix architecture," and it has a frame agreement with an international automotive OEM. It didn't give any specific details about either one of these assertions though. According to The Wall Street Journal, NEVS needs the partnership to lower development costs in order to stay afloat. Saab spokesperson Mikael Ostlund told Autoblog in an email that the stop in production of the 9-3 in Trollhättan would last four weeks.
NEVS says it's in negotiation to sell a portion of the company to an automotive company. Its current monetary woes are caused by shareholder Qingbo Investment Company not financing the company as agreed. "We plan to have the results of the discussions at latest during June," said Ostlund.

Saab's latest Chinese owners facing their own credit woes

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

Poor Saab, it can't seem to get a break. General Motors couldn't seem to make a go of it, neither could Spyker, and now it seems that its latest owner is encountering some problems of its own.
That owner, of course, is National Electric Vehicle Sweden, a Swedish holding company owned by Chinese investors. NEVS recently restarted production at the Saab plant in Trollhättan, Sweden, and had some ambitious plans for the brand's revival, but it appears to have run out of cash.
This according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, which discovered that NEVS is having trouble paying its suppliers. One such supplier, called Labo Test, has reportedly been owed some $22,000 by NEVS since February, and without payment, petitioned the Swedish government to place NEVS into bankruptcy proceedings. If that seems a little extreme to you over twenty-two grand, it would seem the parties agree, as the petition has reportedly since been withdrawn.

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.
