Hi there everyone! Up for sale 1989 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible. I will not describe the vehicle with endless sentences and descriptions trying to hide any imperfections. Below you will find CLEAR and VISIBLE divided list of things about the car which consists of: PROS, CONS, EXTRAS. WHILE RESTORING YOUR SAAB, THE MOST IMPORTANT IS TO STICK TO FACTORY LOOK. Enjoy.

- new rear break pads
- new electric antenna - works 10/10
- new trunk rust protection
- new seam sealer over the trunk area
- new trunk carpeting (with OEM Saab Tool Box - it lacks only radio eject hooks and allen wrench)
- new front Pioneer speakers (rear ones working great, OEM Clarion made for Saab)

- car runs strong, no choking, no jumping, no overheating
- no rust in wheel wells area
- all 6 pieces of black rubber trim with silver-pearl inserts were replaced
CONS:
- small drops of oil getting out of an engine - normality as for Saabs - still waiting for a result after adding one of STOP LEAK solutions
- dirty engine - I didn't wash it to avoid any further problems - meaningless, for the fact it is covered with significant mist of dust, it doesn't affect anything
- interior lights don't work when set to 1 - open door position; 2 - all 3 work perfectly (including rear map lights)
- plenty of rock dings on a hood
- few scratches around the car
- one small rock chip on a front window - doesn't threaten the whole piece
- few nail-size rusty spots
- paint and filler cracked over the fueling cap - got to be fixed
- steering rack got to be replaced - $130 + labor $250-300 - depending on a state - it has a leak, however, it doesn't leak the way it could affect steering pump
- front 10 inches of headliner faded due to sun beams when top was stored down
- grill got crack on it
- front passenger seat got small hole in it - insignificant
- few scratches around internal vehicle area
- cruise control acts sometimes - if you set speed, it starts to accelerate anyway after 2-3 seconds - In my opinion it is sth with cc valve, got no time to check it
- AC needs to be filled - it is convertible, I was not using it
- trunk lid needs new paint - didn't bother me at all
- driver's front turn signal has few cracked out small pieces
EXTRAS:
- rare plastic top cover - it has two corner cracks and few scratches but still, it looks 100 times better than bare top
- additional MOMO steering wheel made for SAAB
- extra gauges: oil temp, oil pressure, voltage VDO - worth around $200 - very good condition
- brand new front break pads - thought they got to be replaced with rear ones, but it is not necessary yet
- two sets of keys
- original user's manual
- barely used OEM jack
- barely used extra wheel
- two CHROME door handles - perfect condition - just in case if you wanted to brighten the outlook
- brand new air filter - it has already new one inside, this one is just a spare one
- OEM tire changing mud matt - stay clean changing your tire on a dirty road
- OEM Clarion stereo set - works just beautifully
This is pretty much all I wanted to share with you about my Saab. If I forgot about something, I will add it shortly, but I am pretty sure that it was all. If you have any questions or doubts concerning this listing, don't hesitate to ask, I will be more than glad to assist you. 99% of all the things that have been done around the car were done by me. I own other Saab 900i which I also put a lot of effort in to make it work and look as it deserved for it. I got to sell this one, because I am leaving US soon for longer period of time and I need that money. It doesn't mean I will sell it for symbolic penny. I put my heart, time, blood (haha) and money into that 900 as I love Saabs. I made everything around the car AS FOR ME. Not to sell it, not to trade it, everything was made with great doze of patience, research and attention. Plus, don't forget about the trunk photo - lots of extras.
WITHIN FEW DAYS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE AND CHECK THE CAR IN STAMFORD, CT
I will not ship it. If you decide to buy it, you will have to come and pick it up in STAMFORD, CT.
I was allowed to add up to 24 pictures. I got folder with 150 of them. If you want to see the rest of the photos, just let me know, I will send them to you right away.
Happy Bidding and Keep Saabing! : )

Saab begins 9-3 EV pilot production
Thu, 10 Apr 2014To say that Saab has had a tough time lately would be like saying that it's been a little colder than usual this winter. After General Motors finally gave up and sold it to Spyker in 2010, Saab declared bankruptcy the following year. GM successfully blocked Spyker from selling Saab to Chinese automaker Youngman the following year, but ultimately it ended up in the hands of another Chinese consortium called NEVS. Standing as it does for National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the new owners promised not only to restart production of the long-suffering 9-3, but also to turn it into an electric vehicle. And that's just what it's doing.
The latest news coming out of Sweden indicates that NEVS/Saab has started building the first examples of the 9-3 EV. These first 200 or so examples are set to be shipped off to Qingdao - the Chinese city that is home to the Tsingtao brewery, hosted the sailing components of the 2008 summer games on Beijing, was supposed to host an IndyCar race in 2012 before it was canceled, and also itself just happens to own 22 percent of NEVS.
These first EVs have their batteries mounted down low in the chassis for a low center of gravity and have a range of about 20 miles on a full charge. That's absolutely paltry compared to the other EVs on the market: a Nissan Leaf will travel more than four times that distance, and a Tesla Model S will go ten times farther on a charge.
NEV deal to buy Saab delayed
Fri, 03 Aug 2012Remember a month and a half ago when we told you that Saab will "soldier on?" Well, we should have written "stand at attention."
According to SaabsUnited, the deal for National Electric Vehicle Sweden to buy the remaining Saab assets didn't close on schedule. In fact, it's been delayed by "a month, perhaps more." NEVS also seems to have indicated that it's not going to be answering any more questions about the deal until it's completed.
NEVS is supposedly planning on building electric cars based on the design that would have been the next-generation 9-3. The company itself is a partnership between a Chinese energy company and a Japanese investment group.
Vampire Weekend burns for Saab
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Or is it the other way around?
Could Vampire Weekend be trying to tell me something? A just-launched music video for the indie rock band's new single Diane Young features what looks like a pretty mint black Saab 900 Turbo Convertible being torched in slow-motion. In fact, with the exception of a brief, flickering cameo by a 900 three-door of a similar vintage, that's all that there is to the nearly three-minute long video. It's both sad and oddly beautiful.
Coincidentally, I have a similar-looking turbocharged black Saab convertible sitting in my garage, and I've been reluctantly pondering its sale this very week. Admittedly, mine is a later model (2001 9-3 Viggen), but tri-spokes and more tapered rump aside, it looks eerily identical. And while mine isn't mired in flames (I love it too much to torch it), through no fault of its own, it's been sitting motionless far too regularly. Thankfully, I see a better future for it than the droptop seen above.
