1990 Saab 900 Spg Hatchback 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Brooklyn, New York, United States
Overall a very nice, all original 1990 SPG that does need some attention. I'm the second owner purchased 6 years ago at 180k miles from a seller in DC area. Its been an extremely reliable weekend driver- It starts in all weather-transmission seems very sound, turbo spools nicely and motor pulls strong. It does have some condition issues and could use a tuneup. Antilock light came on a thousand miles ago but petal is firm and responsive, SRS is on and it's probably due a clutch job ( last at 160k) - The body is is in generally very good shape- it has minimal rust, the only area I'm aware of is a 3" patch on the lower inside face of drivers door but it has not gone through the metal ( see photo). The drivers side window recently stopped working- i don't know if its the regulator or motor. The windshield glass has (2) dings from last owner, Rear quarter SPG trim was knocked off by someone who hit my bumper- paint top coat got grazed in that area but metal panel is fine, and undamaged trim panel is included (see photo). Interior is in good shape - headliner is excellent ( new at 150k) - Sunroof works great - leather is in very good condition except for fairly large hole in drivers seat back( see pic)- it has average dash cracks, carpet has some wear but new extra material is included from previous owner. Paint is original and still shines respectably -but has gotten a couple small city scratches over the past several years. AC was converted at 150k by previous owner but is currently not working. There is a Security system that I've never activated - manual and code included . 3 spoke alloy rims are in great shape with recent Dunlop Potenzas - Front 95% rear 85%.
Relatively recent work has included new battery(09) and alternator (08) - Tie rods and Ball Joints ( '10 )- New Exhaust (10') . New turbo was replaced @150k by previous owner as well as many other parts. All receipts since purchase are included. Its gotten Mobil 1 every 3k miles. Its been an excellent car and could be a great candidate for restoring or with modest effort an affordable, reliable, and completely classic car design. Full set of bound 900 Service Manuals are available separately if interested. |

GM recalls over 230,000 more Trailblazer-family SUVs over door electronics
Sun, 16 Jun 2013Back in August, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall on the General Motors GMT360 SUVs (Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X) ranging from the 2005 to 2007 model years and the 2006 GMT370 SUVs (Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL) due to potential fires associated with the driver's door module. Initially limited to 250,000 units sold or registered in 20 Snow Belt states (and the District of Columbia), the recall has now been expanded to include an additional 193,000 of these SUVs in the US and, according to The Detroit News, 40,000 more sold outside the US, including Canada and Mexico.
Like the original recall, the issue is still a faulty driver's door module that can short out, which could lead to a fire. The Detroit News is reporting that, out of the 443,000 units being recalled, GM says that there were 58 fires that caused 11 minor injuries, and the expanded recall accounted for six fires and one injury. Despite the lower number of fires, the recall notice recommends that owners park their vehicles until the recall repairs has been performed.
On recalled units with functional modules, the repair consists of a protective coating being applied to the module, while vehicles with modules that are not working properly will have the driver's door module replaced. The official recall notice is posted below, and it includes contact information for customers of all five brands.
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.
Spyker files $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors over Saab's demise
Mon, 06 Aug 2012"Smack." That's the sound of Spyker's process server dropping a big ol' pile of legal documents on the doorstep of The Renaissance Center, home of General Motors - or wherever GM's attorneys live during business hours. Contained therein is a Complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and demanding a jury trial, that seeks $3 billion in damages due to "the unlawful actions GM took to avoid competition with Saab Automobile in the Chinese market." Spyker accuses GM of "tortiously interfering" with Saab's business relationship with Chinese automaker Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile (Youngman), actions that Spyker CEO Victor Muller (above) said "deliberately drove Saab Automobile into bankruptcy."
(From Wikipedia: "Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships.")
The interference in question specifically refers to the very last potential deal, called the Framework Agreement, that Spyker worked out with Youngman. With lots of GM engineering embedded into the 9-4X and 9-5, The General had the right to approve any Saab partnership that would involve the transfer of GM intellectual property. Spyker had been rebuffed over every previous deal with a Chinese firm, including two bids by Youngman, due to GM concerns over its IP getting into Chinese hands and having to face Chinese-market competitors using its technology. The Complaint alleges that the Framework Agreement would have put a firewall around all GM IP - Youngman would only work on Saab's Phoenix platform, said to be just about free of GM tech, and would have no access to 9-3, 9-4X or 9-5 technology until after Saab ceased all ties to GM.
