$900.00 OBO, don't be afraid to offer.

Only needs alternator (belt is off for alternator exchange, as well as the tire for access, but the tire will be put back on) to run n go. Brand New Battery, one run in.

 the alternator bolt was rounded out, now drilled and harder than my cheap tap bits. I'm getting another truck; don't have the time for this Sweet Bessy. :* t'was magn?fico.

 car goes hour and back 4 days a week for school, works all the time except for few times it doesn't, then always back up n running like a beast / platypus. 

Basically The unit needs normal repair and has moderate usage at a 198,892 mile Saab, so electronically should be assumed at this point;  

the car has the typical factory low voltage never corrected, radio's works comparable the to 90's; digital display is old/missing elements/voltage and security locked, I don't call tech support much, that's what it takes, Once you get the code from them the 6 disk changer is in the trunk. Saab phone conversation. 

The driver seat is wonky. Don't press up , serious time and effort to make it go down. also driver seat is slightly damaged; immediate to the exterior of the car.

 Occasional non start, most likely due to the low voltage , or a problem with the centrally located ignition switch in the ignition from time and H2O; Different fixes, profit gaining product obsolescence.

 It needs most seals ideally for restoration (leaks oil/trans, the power steering from the reservoir bottom - new line and reservoir would be best; get a reservoir from a junker if you can), so take it apart and put it together w/ maintenance checks and minor parts for perfection in soon to be classic taste.

The gear box regulator mechanism, possibly called a neutral safety switch, but Saab style, on top, under the battery, if new replacement $300-400, said to be repairable with cleaning and greasing, mechanical/electrical component. causes gear slip up 1 out of 20-48 days, stuck wont shit for a sec or until it does. needs to be fixed for proper restoration, or child care purposes. 

The roof leaks in moderately heavy rain or with sitting, this can be repaired at a shop though at a low cost to value ratio. 

Blown spare on Saab normal rim in the trunk.

New valve cover gasket I installed due to small leak, 3 months ago approximately.

Saab owner may speed up relaunch with gas-powered 9-3

Wed, 21 Nov 2012

National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the new owner of Saab, has good news for you if you happened to miss out on picking up a 9-3 before the company plummeted through bankruptcy. Automotive News Europe reports NEVS may offer a gasoline-powered 9-3 in 2013. That move would effectively step up the brand's re-launch plan by a full year. Originally, the company planned to introduce an electric vehicle in 2014, but NEVS is currently investigating ways to start production next summer using "a 9-3 with a traditional powertrain" in order to generate more cash for the electrification effort.
NEVS purchased Saab earlier this year with the intent of resurrecting the brand with a fully electric product portfolio. The new EVs would theoretically ride on the Saab Phoenix platform and be manufactured at the automaker's plant in Trollhattan, Sweden. The report of a resurrected gasoline model came courtesy of Mikael Oestlund, a company spokesperson familiar with the company's workings.

Court extends Saab reorganization bid until end of November

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

Saab parent company National Electric Vehicle Sweden refuses to go down without a fight. After a recent trip to court, the company is emerging with an extension on its reorganization until November 29. According to Europe Online Magazine, there's also an appointed committee of creditors and union representatives to monitor NEVS' restructuring process.
NEVS still isn't giving up hope of saving itself, and the company claims there are has two potential strategies for getting back on its feet. The main plan is to "finalize the negotiations with the two Asian automotive manufacturers," according to a press release. Those firms still aren't identified, but Mahindra may be involved. According to Europe Online Magazine, one of the businesses is looking to take partial ownership of NEVS, and the other is considering some sort of cooperation with it.
If that plan fails, the second option is to take advantage of the factory and become a contract manufacturer.

Super sleeper Saab 900 does 174 mph in the standing mile

Sun, 14 Apr 2013

Somewhere behind Hennessey setting a new top speed record at this year's Texas Mile with its camouflage Ford GT, a stock-looking 1996 Saab 900T pulled up to the line to see what it could do. The dealer showroom wheels wouldn't offer any indication that the 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood was getting help from a Garrett turbocharger, a tuned ECU and E85 gas to put out 465 horsepower at the front wheels.
Knowing that, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that at the other end of the mile the sky blue Swedish wonder was doing 174 miles per hour. The four-cylinder class at the Texas Mile has plenty such rockets, too, this Swede coming just behind a Dodge Neon that did 175.8 mph. You can watch the Saab do its thing in the video below.
