2002 Saab 9-3 Se 2.0l Turbo Convertible Needs Motor on 2040-cars
Bushkill, Pennsylvania, United States
Hi, I purchased this car knowing there was motor problems. It was such a nice looking car I couldn't pass it up. I actually bought it to fix and give it to my daughter to commute to school but she is changing schools and doesn't need it. I drove the car for about 100 miles and the motor gave up, one of the rods shot through the bottom of the engine. A big plus with this car is the 8th letter in the title is a "K" which means this car has a high pressure motor that gives you more hp than a regular 2.0 engine. For the miles that I drove it everything seemed fine. The tranny seemed to be shifting fine, brakes seemed good, no pulling in the front, tires seem like they are wearing normal in the front and no shaking on the highway. All the options work perfect and the time I spent in the car there was no problems with any of the buttons. Headlight wipers work, convertible top works with ease, ( I was really impressed how the top goes down) Also,in the trunk you have the option to tie up the the convertible storage box up when your not using it for more storage space. Tires are in fair shape and the spare tire looks like it was never used. It does have new mats that came with the car but they don't look like the original ones. Also, when I got it home and scraped off the dealer writing on the windshield I noticed a pebble ding on the windshield. I may have one to give you if you purchase the car, I have to pick it up in NY. The miles are pretty good for the year, there are some scratches, dings and dents on the passenger rear quarter panel, they could probably be banged out from the inside of the trunk. I hope I told you everything and I will post pictures of the known problems so there are no surprises. I am trying to explain everything honestly and the best of my ability. Please, if you have any questions feel free to ask. Also if you need to see a picture of something I could send you one. If you purchase this vehicle you are responsible to pick it up, have a towing service or If its not too, too far I can deliver it for a fee.....Thanks for looking!

Saab to reintroduce 9-3 SportCombi as Phoenix development continues
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The saga of Saab goes to show that you can't keep a good automaker down. Founded back in 1947 (the same year, incidentally, as Ferrari, TVR and Maserati defector OSCA), Saab split off from its aerospace division, merged with Scania trucks, was subsequently picked up by General Motors, then pawned off onto Spyker before its current Chinese owners brought it back out of bankruptcy. Now under the auspices of National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), Saab has official restarted production of the 9-3 sedan, but what are its plans for the future?
In correspondence with Autoblog, NEVS communications director Mikael Ostlund gave us an idea of what to expect. First of all, NEVS is living up to its name by launching an electric version of the 9-3. As we reported a couple of weeks ago, the 9-3 EV currently is undergoing a pilot launch in the Chinese city of Qingdao (which owns part of NEVS) before being rolled out in other markets around the world. But that's not all NEVS has planned for Saab.
The reborn Swedish automaker also plans to relaunch the 9-3 SportCombi to supplement the 9-3 sedan. The wagon version was part of the second-gen 9-3's rollout in the early 2000s, offering increased cargo space and versatility - particularly vital since GM had seen it fit to replace the previous hatchback bodystyle favored by the brand faithful with a more traditional trunked form to lure new buyers into the fold. Although Ostlund confirmed that NEVS has "the option of adding the convertible" back into the lineup, nut has yet to decide on if and when it will do so.
National Electric Vehicle stops Saab 9-3 production amidst financing woes
Tue, 20 May 2014It seems that quirky, Swedish automaker Saab might be on life support yet again. Its owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden, has announced that it's reducing its workforce and temporarily halting production of the 9-3 due to financial problems. NEVS was only building six cars a day, anyway.
The company put out a press release admitting its economic woes, but it still appeared hopeful. NEVS claims it's developing "a new platform on the Phoenix architecture," and it has a frame agreement with an international automotive OEM. It didn't give any specific details about either one of these assertions though. According to The Wall Street Journal, NEVS needs the partnership to lower development costs in order to stay afloat. Saab spokesperson Mikael Ostlund told Autoblog in an email that the stop in production of the 9-3 in Trollhättan would last four weeks.
NEVS says it's in negotiation to sell a portion of the company to an automotive company. Its current monetary woes are caused by shareholder Qingbo Investment Company not financing the company as agreed. "We plan to have the results of the discussions at latest during June," said Ostlund.
Saab signs deal to sell 20,000 electric cars in China
Fri, Jan 15 2016Another quarter, another gargantuan deal for National Electric Vehicle Sweden (Nevs), the Chinese-backed firm that bought the assets to Saab in 2012 and then spent two years getting out of financial trouble. The company just announced that it has agreed to a framework deal with China Volant Industry Co. (Volinco), a firm whose principal business is import and export of aerospace equipment and technologies. The tentative Volinco order is worth 8.5 billion Swedish crowns ($996 million US) for 20,000 electric cars that will be delivered between 2017 and 2020. A final purchase order is expected to be finalized later. In December, Nevs signed a deal worth $12 billion to provide 150,000 electric cars to Panda New Energy, a Chinese EV leasing company. That deal will also see Nevs provide 100,000 electric vehicle products and services to companies that Nevs works with. As with the Volinco deal, Nevs will build and paint components for its Saab 9-3 EV in Trollhattan, Sweden then ship the kits to China for final assembly. Given the number and size of its recent deals, it shouldn't be a surprise that Nevs is building a factory in Tianjin, China that will be ready in 2020. Volinco apparently plans to use the trove as company cars for employees. The final agreement will also include giving Nevs access to a range of the aerospace firm's suppliers to assist with its production plans. Nevs is also working with Dongfeng and Renesas Electronics to help develop its current and future cars.
