2001 Saab 9-3 Viggen Convertible Low Miles Fl Fully Serviced All Records Stock on 2040-cars
United States
Up for sale is my 2001 SAAB 9-3 Viggen Convertible. I never thought I would let this one go but a classic restoration has all my interest so my fun weekend toy has to to leave the garage. The Viggen edition cars came standard with ALL options and a 5-speed manual transmission only. This car has been not only been pampered and garaged but every single item that has been needed or required in the future has been addressed. All power options; seats, windows, door locks, keyless entry, mirrors, headlight wipers, automatic climate control, cruise, heated seats, radio antenna, cd player, etc work as they should. The top has been completely rebuilt and works flawlessly, all new AC components, PCV #6 update, new throttle body, new DIC, new tensioner, new idler, ALL fluids/filters, ABS control module, and much more have been replaced within the last few years; way too many new parts and services to list. The engine has been freshly tuned and serviced and currently sits on Borbet Type CA 18" upgraded rims and new tires in place of the sometimes problematic stock alloy wheels(nice original stock rims included.) The car is complete and missing nothing. She has had ONLY full synthetic services every 3k miles since new and is a sludge free engine(pictures to prove it.)
This Viggen has all the original paperwork, owners manuals, a pile of maintenance records, and two keys. She runs great, shifts smoothly, and brakes sharply. There is no smoking, leaks, or noises; she runs and drives perfect every time. The car is 100% stock and completely unmodified aside from the upgraded wheels. I have all the confidence in the world in this car and would not hesitate to drive her anywhere, I will regret letting this one go but the next owner will be getting an amazing deal. This is a 13 year old car and does have a few scratches and blemishes to be expected of any used car but there are no dents, rust, or faded paint on this car, only minor cosmetics that can be seen in the pictures. We are SAAB fanatics and appreciate and care for our cars from weekly detailing to lots of preventative maintenance. I have an photo account with 100+ pictures I will gladly email to serious buyers. Please email with any questions, thanks for looking. |

Boeing, Saab take first flight in T-X trainer 36 months after starting development
Wed, Dec 21 2016This post is appearing on Autoblog Military, Autoblog's sub-site dedicated to the vehicles, aircraft and ships of the world's armed forces. Bringing a new fighter from drawing board to its first flight is generally a lengthy endeavor, taking years of planning and tweaking and engineering. Or, at least it normally does. Boeing and Saab just took their new joint-developed training fighter, the T-X, out for its first spin just 36 months after starting development. According to Saab's deputy program manager for the T-X, Eddy De la Motte, that's half the time it usually takes to get a new jet in the sky. "We went from [critical design review] to first flight in 12 months. We don't do that very much at the Boeing Company," Boeing's program manager for the T-X, Ted Torgerson told Defense News. "I don't want to say it has not been done, but for a manned aircraft to go through a complete production-ready design, that is as fast and as efficient as we've ever been through it." Boeing/Saab's first test flight was a simple, 55-minute matter for Boeing test pilots Steven Schmidt and Dan Draeger. The pair took the plane up to 10,000 feet and hit speeds of 231 knots (265 miles per hour) while running handling checks on the twin-tail, single-engine jet. "I've been a part of this team since the beginning, and it was really exciting to be the first to train and fly," pilot Schmidt said. "The aircraft met all expectations. It's well designed and offers superior handling characteristics. The cockpit is intuitive, spacious and adjustable, so everything is within easy reach." "It was a smooth flight and a successful test mission," Draeger, who rode shotgun in the instructor's seat said in an official release. "I had a great all-around view throughout the flight from the instructor's seat, which is critical during training." Boeing/Saab's T-X is one of four jets competing for the role as the US military's next training aircraft. Northrop Grumman is fielding a clean-sheet design that allegedly flew earlier this year, while Lockheed Martin and Raytheon are modifying existing designs with partners – the South Korean KAI T-50 for Lockheed and the Leonardo M-346 for Raytheon.

Petrolicious keeps our love of the Saab Sonett aflame
Wed, 19 Mar 2014German auto designs lean toward function and purpose. Italian designers deliver passion and beauty. The Brits, majesty. American cars, brashness and authority. If you want a funky design, though, you go to Sweden. The land of cheap, do-it-yourself furniture and delicious meatballs knows a thing or six about style and design, and while that character is only now reemerging thanks to a certain string of Volvo concepts, it use to be that Saab was the authority on penning some of the industry's more unique designs.
Take the beautiful Sonett for example - a small coupe whose appearance is a funky mishmash of a Porsche 911 and a Bugeyed Sprite with just a hint of a Citroën DS (it's that convex rear window). It's a positively striking car, made more unique by its two-stroke, three-cylinder powertrain and four-on-the-tree manual transmission. With just 70 horsepower hauling about 1,500 pounds of Swedish style, the Sonett strikes us as an ideal alternative to some of the English sports cars of its day, particularly for those that are looking for something beyond your average MG or Triumph.
For Glenn Roberts, the Sonett was a part of his childhood. His family owned example was originally a special-order item by his parents in 1967. He bought the car from them 13 years later and has never looked back, completing a restoration in 2004. With a story like that, it's not surprising that Roberts and his silver Sonett are the most recent pairing to get some attention from Petrolicious.
GM recalls over 230,000 more Trailblazer-family SUVs over door electronics
Sun, 16 Jun 2013Back 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.
