This convertible is my own "baby". If you are not already a Saab lover, this will make you one.
If you look on-line and read some of the Saab Blogs, the cars built before General Motors got involved are considered "The Real Saab's".
I like that it's a 4-cylinder, fuel injected, turbo charged car, and the engine has a timing CHAIN, not a timing BELT.
I can get 28 miles per gallon (MPG) on the highway.
A/C blows nice and cold. (Good heat too.)
The convertible top works very well with no problems. All electric windows work, electric adjustable seats
and a great radio with CD changer in the trunk.
A great car with amazing gas mileage, very reliable, very safe, totally fun to drive, leather and just drop dead beautiful.
I will tell you it always gets Mobil-1 oil changes and has regular check-ups.
New tires only 6-months ago (see photos) and a new fuel pump and a new throttle cable at the same time.
Heater and Air Conditioning works great. Clutch and transmission feel great, no issues. She starts, runs and drives and brakes beautifully.
I can get between 18 to 20 MPG around town and 28 MPG on long trips. ...and look great doing it !!! Smooth and comfortable.
This car has a nice digital read out for mileage, trips, temp, ETA and a whole host of other functions.
This car does have some minor blemishes:
There is a small tear in the drivers seat, (down low on the left corner of the back section.) If I keep the car, I will install sheepskin covers on the seats.
There are also small cracks in the tail light lens, (center section) the left headlamp outside glass is cracked, (still works fine.) and 3 small hairline cracks in the bottom center section of the windshield. ( I had the local "Ding Doctor" repair the windshield.)
There are some scuff marks on the corners of the bumper and some very very light parking lot marks on the body. (you will never see them.)
Also, there is a mark in the heater LCD display, (see photo) but you can still read the settings.
The "SRS airbag" light is on and the electric radio antenna stays at half mast, but you can hear the antenna motor working.
Please take a look at the pictures, these blemishes are not very visible, but I want to be totally "up-front" since you are not here to see for yourself.
Overall this is a great and reliable car. The problems I listed are all superficial and this is a good "daily driver", plus it's fun and fancy looking.
*** Please feel free to schedule a time to come and see the car before the auction ends, or ask any questions and I will do my best to get you answers in a timely fashion.
For the winning bidder, I can drive the car 150 miles to the Denver International Airport (DIA) and meet you, for an additional $300.
(ie. $1.00 per mile, round trip.) All funds would have to be cleared in advance. -Thank you.
THIS WILL BE A GREAT CAR FOR SOME LUCKY PERSON: DAUGHTER, SON, WIFE OR LUCKY GUY LIKE ME. MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAS SOME WONDERFUL ADVENTURES IN THIS CAR, AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR SOMETHING NEW.
Please bid with confidence.

GM recalling 524k vehicles over hood latches and toe link nuts
Fri, 03 Oct 2014Just hours after confirming to Autoblog its intention to recall 97,540 vehicles in the US (117,651 in North America) for a possible manufacturing defect in the chassis control module of several models, General Motors is issuing two more campaigns that affect another 379,401 units in the US (524,384 in North America).
One campaign covers 290,107 US examples of the 2010-2015 Cadillac SRX and the 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X because the "rear toe link adjuster lock nuts" may be improperly torqued. If not up to spec, the toe adjuster link could separate and allow the wheel to shift while driving, making the handling unstable. GM says that it knows of three crashes and two injuries as a result of this problem. Dealers are inspecting the nuts and installing a new link assembly, if necessary. Autoblog first reported about this potential issue when it showed up on a list of recalls from Transport Canada.
The second recall is for 89,294 examples of the 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark in the US manufactured from January 17, 2012, through July 29, 2014. According to GM, "corrosion can cause the secondary hood latch striker to stick in the open position." If this happens, and the primary latch also isn't engaged for some reason, the hood could fly open while driving. About 13,000 of these affected Sparks are at dealers and are being held until repaired. The fix requires replacing the hood striker. GM isn't aware of crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this problem.
What brands have Saab owners defected to? Polk investigates
Sun, 02 Sep 2012When a brand goes belly-up, it's natural for analysts to wonder where that brand's consumers will turn. General Motors has mothballed more car brands the last decade than most other automakers' have in their entire portfolios, so "Where did [insert brand here] buyers go?" has been a common question asked of The General. According to reports, it didn't do so well at retaining Oldsmobile owners (who supposedly went to Hyundai), or Hummer and Saturn buyers, but did get some return love from Pontiac owners.
A consultant with Polk has turned the loyalty lens on Saab. The Polk Disposal Loyalty Methodology tracks owners selling vehicles within six months of buying a new one. In 2010 and 2011, Polk found that when Saab died, owners went right up the middle of the mainstream to Honda. It was close, though, with just 0.2 percent separating Honda from number two Volkswagen. Audi comes in third.
After that it's back to the masses with Toyota, Chevrolet and Ford trumping import luxury brands. And if you combine all of the General Motors brands that Saab owners have migrated to, GM more than doubles Honda with a 15.2-percent share, so all the love is not lost.
Victor Muller to pay Sweden back taxes for Saab work
Thu, 03 Oct 2013Victor Muller, Saab's CEO from 2010 to 2011, has been ordered by the Swedish court to pay the back taxes he owes the country for his work at Saab, Autoweek and Volkskrant report. When he was the automaker's CEO he received a salary of about 8 million Swedish Krona ($1.25 million), which was recorded as a reward for consultancy work for a company in the US that Muller owns. The move allowed him to evade taxes for awhile, but the court has ordered him to pay taxes on his full salary.
Muller, who is also CEO of Spyker, and two other Saab executives were accused of accounting fraud in May, which took place in 2010 and 2011. According to reports, Muller maintains that he is not subject to taxes in Sweden.
