Hi there, I have for sale my grandfathers' '89 SAAB Turbo Convertible.This Saab has been in storage for the past 2 years due to health problems. After sitting 2 years we charged the battery and unsurprisingly she started right up (Saabs always start), after which we drove from Pa down to southwestern Va approx. 300 miles without issue. The engine was replaced about 3 years ago with one from a wrecked Saab turbo (rear end) with only 117k on the clock. The engine is strong and pulls well, the tranny is smooth but does have some trouble with quick shifts into 2nd, otherwise she stays in all gears including 2nd. The Clutch slave cylinder was also replaced with the engine 3 years ago. There is not really any additional mileage added after the work was done, again this was stored for the last 2 years. The top is in good shape with no tears and the power motor for the top does work very well. The interior is in fair shape, as most leather interiors found in older Convertibles, the leather has worn on one side of the drivers seat but over all there are no large rips or tears. The dash has a couple of cracks as do almost all classic 900s nowadays. The issues on this Saab are not major and can be corrected with ease. There is some rust on the corners of the hood near the turbo badges as well as a couple of small spots of rust just starting on the lower part of the front finders and drivers door. The Frame is in good shape. The master Cylinder has only just began to loose pressure while holding the brake on a hill, otherwise the car does not pull to any one side. The tires are fair as is the paint which still shines. The power windows do work but they are a bit slow, maybe a bad ground or just in need of some lube. Also there is a dent on the drivers side rear fender on the top corner, as well as a small crack in the bottom left hand corner of the windshield. The only other problem with this Saab is the key tumbler, which has worn out, so the ignition switch must be turned with a screw driver but this is an easy fix, and I am willing to install the new parts minus the costs for them (ignition switch only) as this does require a special tool which I have. This is a no reserve auction highest bid wins. As I stated before this Saab needs some work but is still a rather easy fix and can be on the road in time for spring. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime and I'll be happy to help. Thanks again for your time and happy bidding.

3 former Saab execs charged with tax evasion
Mon, 20 May 2013The Associated Press reports three former Saab executives have been arrested on charges of accounting fraud. Swedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren has refused to identify the individuals, but says they're suspected of attempting to evade taxes by falsifying Saab accounts between 2010 and 2011 during the Spyker years. Other reports indicate the parties involved include former General Counsel to Saab Kristina Geers (seen to the left of former CEO Victor Muller, above), a 15-year-veteran of the company - her husband, Eric, was the company's communications director for 9 years as well.
Saab filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and was purchased shortly thereafter by National Electric Vehicle Sweden. If convicted, the trio could face up to four years in prison for their crimes under Swedish law.
Nicolas Cage flogs Saab-based Senova from Beijing Auto [w/video]
Mon, 13 May 2013BAIC has officially pulled the covers off of its new Senova D Series sedan for China. The four-door is based on the old Saab 9-5 and boasts a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Local buyers can get their hands on the machine for around $22,745 at current conversion rates. Other engine options include a turbocharged 1.8-liter four cylinder as well as turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder, and a wide range of safety equipment comes standard on every trim except the very base model. Those goodies include a tire pressure monitoring system, active head restraints, blind spot detection, driver fatigue detection and parking sensors.
The Senova nameplate serves every model based on former Saab architectures, including the Epsilon, GM2900 and GM2400 platforms as well as engine and transmission tech. In order to promote its new products, BAIC has hired Hollywood staple Nicolas Cage to serve as the company's brand ambassador. Cage stars in the Senova-heavy Town of Car Legends action-packed video short (directed by Olivier Megaton of Transporter 3 and Taken 2 fame) which you can view by scrolling below.
Saab 9-3 production to start in China in 2013 [UPDATE]
Thu, 17 Jan 2013We knew that National Electric Vehicle Sweden planned to restart production of the last-gen Saab 9-3 at some point in the future, we just didn't know exactly when, or exactly where. As it turns out, the answers to those questions are soon, and China.
Though NEVS had initially said it will build vehicles in Sweden before shipping them to China, the latest report from Autocar suggests that the cars will instead be built right in Quingdao starting later in 2013. That's right, this calendar year. Also on the docket is a followup electric version of the 9-3, which is slated to come to market in 2014 in an effort to satiate China's wish that there be half a million EVs silently filling its streets within the next two years.
NEVS wants to be part of the EV solution, but it's not going to be easy. Naturally, if these cars are to be built in China, a factory has to be located or built, tooling needs to be in place, workers need to be hired and trained and a lengthy trail of paperwork has to be signed off by the government before even the well-known gasoline-powered 9-3 can be a reality, let along the unknown quantity that is the 9-3 ePower.
