1992 92 Saab 900 Turbo S Hatchback on 2040-cars

I'm auctioning my 1992 Saab 900 S, LPT turbo 5 Speed. 155,274 miles, passes smog. Originally the naturally aspirated S model, I converted the car to a Turbo approximately 80,000 miles ago. (email me for more specifics if you want… 10.1:1 compression, 5-8 psi boost on 91 octane, manual boost control (no APC) Probably puts out somewhere around 170hp though capable of ALOT more - the car is my daily driver and I have had no interest in driving it aggressively or desiring more power... it is set up very conservatively). Original owner, purchased new in 92. Religiously maintained for its whole life. Many parts have been replaced with new ones over the years including a rebuilt transmission, fuel pump, radiator, head gasket/re-surfaced head, belts, headliner, headlights, Hall sensor, various other sensors, etc... Has Turbo model exhaust, clutch, fuel pressure regulator and injectors, exhaust. Equipped with Bilstein shocks and Intrax springs (lowered 1 inch). Also has had turbo replaced 3 times, most recently with the Mitsubishi TE-05 from a 93 900 turbo. Currently equipped with stock intercooler, though it used to have a front-mount intercooler installed - intercooler and all plumbing included if you want to put it back on! Has a bunch of little things that need work: leather pretty good but needs a lot of re-stitching, stereo speakers (all upgraded) need re-wiring, only one windshield wiper works, turn signal stalk broken/replaced with 3 way switch, horn buttons broke off (horn still operates). Needs windshield washer pump. There is one spot of rust around the right rear wheel well. Dashboard has some cracks in it. Leaks oil (out of the engine, not into it...) and power steering fluid (requires topping off once a month). It will need a new starter soon - the starter motor is good but the solenoid only engages a little once the engine is warm, requiring 2, sometimes 3 re-ignition attempts - it's not getting worse, I've been driving it like this for several months. May eventually need a new front right Inner Driver/Companion Flange: there is a little shimmy/low frequency vibration when the engine is under load at about 65mph - other speeds no vibration at all. Body has a few scratches and dings, nothing serious, and the clearcoat is peeling off the hood. Alignment is spot on - car tracks straight ahead if you take your hands off the wheel, though the right rear tire wears slightly more on the inside than the outside. Engine runs rock solid, no smoke, starts right up (assuming the solenoid engages:)) Transmission is rock solid, though "clicks" a little when reversing with foot off the throttle. It's a salvage title because insurance considered it totaled when someone bashed in a taillight! Taillight replaced, only a little trim is missing and there's a scratch on the hatch near that taillight.

Spyker to appeal dismissal of Saab lawsuit against GM

Fri, 21 Jun 2013

It seems as if Spyker CEO Victor Muller has made a decision on whether or not to pursue a legal battle between his company and General Motors. Spyker has announced it will appeal a US District Court decision to throw out the company's lawsuit against GM. As you may recall, on June 10 Judge Gershwin Drain ruled tht GM had a right to approve or disapprove Spyker's sale of Saab to Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile. Spyker sued GM for some $3 billion, claiming that the American automaker had forced Saab into bankruptcy by stopping Spyker from transferring intellectual property to its Chinese partner.
Spyker has said only that it plans to appeal the decision. Until now, the company has been silent about the ruling. GM, meanwhile, has said it is pleased with the original outcome. You can read the quick Spyker press release below for more information.

Saab's never-was 9-3 gets a few better looks

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

The recent glimpses we've been getting of the never-was Saab 9-3 Phoenix must be like rubbing salt on the wounds of all the Saab fans out there. If that's the case, diehard Saab enthusiasts might want to look away from this. SaabWorld has uncovered a handful of shots of what was to be the next-generation 9-3 hatchback, and boy does it look sharp.
Revealing a clearer look at what we previously saw in grainy images or as a full-scale model, these new pictures show what Jason Castriota had in mind for the new car. The front end is obviously inspired by Saab's Phoenix Concept, while the rear of the car pays homage to the Saab 900 hatchback.
We like the overall look. Let us know what you think in the Comments.

NEVS' reorganization plan approved after all?

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

What a difference a day makes. Thursday, we reported that current Saab parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden had its application for creditor protection denied by the Swedish court for being "vague and completely undocumented." But NEVS was back in court on Friday, and this time the application was granted. However, the story continued to get weirder as defense contractor Saab AB allegedly revoked NEVS' rights to use the Saab name.
NEVS did put out a brief press release confirming the court decision saying: "The District court of Vänersborg, Sweden, today August 29 approved the application for reorganization from National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB." The company allegedly has over 90 creditors, and according to Reuters, it owes them roughly 400 million Swedish krona ($57.56 million). The business says that it is in negotiations with two, unnamed companies to get additional funding.
Also, according to Reuters, Saab AB, best known for making fighter planes, has revoked NEVS' rights to the Saab brand name because the company's application for creditor protection gave the defense contractor that right. When NEVS bought Saab, it only acquired the automaker's physical assets, and had to negotiate for the rights to use the name.
