I currently have a Saab 9-3 2001 for sale. I purchased this used in August 2012. It is an Automatic transmission with less than 83000k miles. Inspection is good until 7/2013 in PA. This Saab needs a new head gasket. This is common for this model and year. I bought this Saab used in the summer to use as a commuter car. I drove great then and I was fixing it up but then the head gasket blew. I do not have the time or know-how to fix it and I've already got another car to take this one's place. The car will start and run but it smokes from the exhaust so there is no way it could be driven safely or legally until it is repaired. The car would have to be towed or transported somehow by the buyer. This would be a good project car for someone. If you know cars and know how to work on them, then this car would probably cost around $500 to fix, maybe less. The cost is from the gasket that needs replacing, which is fairly cheap, replacing headbolts and getting the head machined at a machine shop. The car never overheated so it's possible that the head is not warped and doesn't need to be machined but it would be safe to do so anyway. The cost to repair would be much more if you take it to a shop to be done. The car has some cosmetic blemishes here and there. The top of the front bumper is scratched up but it would only cost around $75 to get a used replacement bumper to make it pretty. The windshield also has a scratch in it on the driver side. The interior is in good shape although front seats are a bit cracked and worn. The car has had a few parts upgraded and I have uninstalled parts that will also come with the car. See below for details

Installed:
4 New tires, less than 200 miles on them
A New CV joint and arm for the right front passenger side wheel. 
New AC manual controls
New Battery
New Rear rotors and brake pads
New Rear Rotors and Shocks


Uninstalled but included with the car:
New Aftermarket DIC ( Direct Ignition Cassette)
New Fuel Pump (the fuel pump in the car works fine but the sensor in it is broke, causing the gas gauge to read Empty all the time. The new fuel pump comes with sensor to fix this issue)
New Fuel Filter
New Front Rotors and Brake Pads
New PCV Update Kit

I want to reiterate that the car needs a new head gasket and it should not be driven until it is replaced. The buyer is responsible for transport or arranging shipping of the car. Please ask questions before bidding. I will be happy to answer all questions honestly to the best of my knowledge. Local buyers are welcome to come see the car before bidding.

    GM recalls over 230,000 more Trailblazer-family SUVs over door electronics

    Sun, 16 Jun 2013

    Back 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.

    Spyker and Youngman sign deal, plan to build D8 SUV and Phoenix-based range

    Mon, 27 Aug 2012

    It appears Spyker is strengthen its ties and carmaking ability with Chinese carmaker Youngman. This comes in the wake of the brand's latest dealings with a $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors regarding the demise of Saab.
    Youngman is reportedly investing €10,000,000 ($12.5M USD) for a 29.9-percent stake in the company. The shares are being sold for €0.05 (6.3 cents) each, representing a fully diluted share. Youngman has said it will not take on more than the 29.9-percent stake.
    Additionally, Youngman will invest €25,000,000 ($31M) for the development of an all-new Spyker vehicle, called the D8 P2P, named for the Peking-to-Paris rally. The vehicle had been shown as a concept by Spyker previously, but things had been quiet since then. It appears Spyker will now build the uniquely styled D8 Concept shown above. The vehicle is to launch at the end of 2014 and carry a price of $250,000 per vehicle.

    NEVS announces 200 layoffs as it says Saab restart will 'take time'

    Fri, 26 Sep 2014

    For a fleeting moment a few weeks ago, the news from Saab-owner National Electric Vehicle Sweden appeared almost positive. The company had its reorganization plan approved (a day after it was denied), and the automaker was actually showing a real, running vehicle, albeit one with a top speed of 75 miles per hour. But those tiny crumbs of potential goodness have been swept away because NEVS has announced layoffs of as many as 200 factory employees in September "due to lack of work."
    Workers probably shouldn't get too eager to return to the factory either, because company's "decision to re-start production will be further delayed" by an unspecified amount of time, NEVS says in a press release. To begin assembling cars again, the company needs to find long-term funding and a new majority owner. Those seem like two very steep hurdles for the embattled automaker to clear.
    Despite not producing cars since May, NEVS still claims it's negotiating with a new owner, possibly Mahindra, but according to Reuters, the Swedish company owes about 400 million kronor ($56 million) to creditors. According to its layoff announcement, getting rid of these workers is one step in the business' reorganization plan to be presented on October 8. Scroll down to read its full release.
