Up For Sale is a 1990 Saab 9000 turbo 2.0L that I am selling for a family member. The car has been in California for it's whole life from what I was told. I took a look at it and found no rust so thats seems to be good. Some work was do to the engine by a shop recently which included a rebuilt cylinder head due to over heating. The radiator was the cause so they replaced that as well.
Also:
rebuilt cylinder head done by machine shop
new intake manifold boots were installed
new spark plugs
new alternator
new starter
new water pump
new serpentine belt tensioner
new serpentine belt
new engine coolant hoses
new radiator Saab oem
new heater core
new breaks installed not long ago
transmission filter changed recently
oil just changed synthetic type
Engine runs smooth and starts every time sometimes I hear a lifter tick.
Transmission shifts well
Have new registration sticker good untill 6/16/2013
The body is pretty straight for its year as you can see from the pictures. There are a few dings around the doors and a dent in the rear bumper area but overall no major damage.
The radio works
The heating controls work
The instrument panel displays work
All the gauges work
The E Brake works
The exhaust seems to look good and the catalytic converter is intact
The interior is not too bad, it looks like a new headliner was recently put in but not completed around the hatchback area.
The power windows seem to not roll all the way up and lock, they droop down about a half inch... I am not sure why.
The sun roof switch is taped off and I don't know why. I did find a replacement window & sun roof switch in a box full of Saab 9000 parts which I will include in the sale. I will take a picture of the box of parts & post them.
I also found two leather seats that are the same color but without cracks, they are manual seats but I would be happy to include them in the sale, I will also post pictures
The steering wheel is missing one horn button
I noticed that the abs, srs, & check engine light is on but don't know if they just have to be cleared or there is a fault.
As you can see from above a lot of money was put into it..... Overall the car is running but needs a little TLC,
Thanks, please feel free to ask questions

Vampire Weekend singer responds to burning Saab controversy [w/video]
Fri, 29 Mar 2013Last week, we tipped you off about Vampire Weekend and their new music video for the song Diane Young, a short film that consists entirely of setting fire to two perfectly nice-looking Saab 900 automobiles. The indie rock band's video - viewable by scrolling down - predictably triggered the internet ire of classic car enthusiasts - Saabophiles in particular - and word of the unrest eventually got back to the band itself.
According to music site Spinner (nb: owned by Autoblog parent AOL), the group was "stunned" at the backlash - enough that lead singer Ezra Koenig felt compelled to respond himself. According to Koenig, the band was under the impression that their record company was "looking to purchase the cheapest, oldest cars possible; they weren't trying to buy a beautiful perfect condition car." By way of apology, Koenig even goes so far as to note that bandmate Rostam Batmanglij is a keen fan of Saab.
Other reports have claimed that the cars may have been purchased under false pretenses, sold by owners who "wanted to see them go to a nice new home," but Koenig takes issue with that characterization, countering that he understood that the cars had substantial electrical problems.
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.
NEVS completes Saab purchase, earns right to brand name but not griffin badge
Mon, 03 Sep 2012
According to the Associated Press, a Hong Kong-based concern is close to building new Saab models. After some delays, National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) has completed the purchase of bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab.
NEVS says it plans to debut an electric vehicle in about 18 months. When the car comes to market, it will wear the Saab name, but not the marque's well-known griffin logo. Reuters reports that the company will produce EVs based on the Saab 9-3 platform, with intentions to sell these vehicles primarily in the Chinese market. Due to the continued use of the distinctive griffin head logo by commercial truckmaker Scania and the Saab aerospace group, NEVS was only granted access to the Saab name, not its emblem.
