2002 Saab 9-3 SE with only 142K miles on it. It's a great car and a lot of fun to drive! Our family purchased the car several years ago from Mike Shaw, a Saab dealership in Colorado. It moved with a family member to SD for the last few years who is now moving back and not taking the car with. All of the maintenance and repairs in Colorado were performed by EOS motorsports and all of the work done in SD has been performed by Swedish Auto Tech. Both of which are highly regarded Saab repair shops. We recently had the car inspected by Swedish Auto Tech and it does need work as outlined below. Our family has loved this Saab as much as all of the others we've owned and we hope to find it a good home with another Saab enthusiast in SD!

Interior:
- Smoker free!
- Power windows
- Power locks
- Heated, power, leather seats with "turbo" logo
- Cruise Control
- Moonroof
- Wood trim
- AC died and was removed
- Back left window doesn't roll down and the door doesn't open from the inside
- Minor wear and tear and one or two small stains
- Above average condition for the mileage!!!

Engine/Trans/suspension:
- Transmission is in good condition
- Turbo boosts great
- B204R "High Output Turbo" Engine
- Motor is leaking oil from multiple seals and needs to be replaced or rebuilt. At the moment we've just been monitoring the oil level and adding oil when needed.
- Needs alignment
- Mechanics have recommended replacing front ball joints eventually
- Slight exhaust leak (I believe it's patchable)
- Rear shocks leaking
- Power steering hose should be replaced
- Includes a few misc. spare parts

Exterior:
- Silver
- Gorgeous SE model body kit gets compliments all the time!
- Scuffs on the back right door/fender and the back bumper 

* We have our fingers crossed this car ends up with another Saab enthusiast! It's in great shape for the mileage and doesn't deserve to get parted out!!! *

** The car will be available for inspection on Saturday July 22nd from 10-1 at the west end of the Fashion Valley parking lot, next to the trolley station.**

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Spyker's $3B lawsuit against GM for blocking Saab sale thrown out

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

US District Judge Gershwin Drain has dismissed a $3-billion lawsuit Spyker filed against General Motors. In the suit, Spyker accused GM of attempting to bankrupt Saab after the US automaker had already sold the company to Spyker. GM in effect blocked the sale of Saab to China's Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile Company by prohibiting the transfer of some of its intellectual property. But the court found that GM had a "contractual right" to approve or disapprove any change of ownership. Furthermore, Reuters reports Judge Drain said the contract between GM and Spyker "is clear, unambiguous and absolute" on the matter.
GM, meanwhile, says it is pleased with the ruling. Spyker CEO Victor Muller has not said whether or not his company will appeal the ruling. The Dutch automaker is expected to make a final decision once the court issues its written order on the case.

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.
