Please read the
description fully and ensure that you can meet the obligations of this auction
before bidding. This car is less than 20 years old and it has not been
Maryland State Inspected, therefore it can only be sold to a non-Maryland
resident. I have an unwritten rule of not keeping any office vehicle for more than one month, and sadly my time with this Saab has run out, but after this experience, I will now be keeping my eyes out for more Saabs to enjoy. The result of the one-month rule is that someone will be getting a great vehicle at what I suspect will be a very reasonable price. As you can see from the condition description, there are some little detractors from the car, it's not in pristine condition, but take a good look at the pictures and condition description and you will see the problems are minor and inexpensive fixes. The only difficult fix may be the air-conditioner, which was over-filled with Freon by the previous owner. The excess pressure has been drained and the mechanic who we go to for A/C said the increased pressure likely caused the malfunction and some new bearings and seals would be the least expensive fix, though it may require a new compressor. The mechanic seemed convinced that the bearings and seals will likely fix the problem (~$140), but it may need more and I want to be straight up about the possibilities, no surprises. That being said, the faults in the car are very minor, while the key components of the vehicle, the engine, turbo, drive train, are strong and ready for the road. You'll be surprised just as I was that first time you go to make a pass, push the gas, hear the turbo spool up and get pushed into your seat by the sprite little 2.0L. This car was really delight to drive and I'll be happy to pass it along to the next person who never new a Saab was like this. PLEASE READ: This car is less than
20 years old, and is not MD State Inspected, so it can only be sold to a
non-Maryland resident. Payment is to be made in
cash. Paypal and Bank

negative feedback must contact me prior to bidding – I will delete your bids
otherwise. Please do not send me angry emails when you bid without contacting
me, and then find that I have deleted your bids, I have had some bad experiences with false bidders and after some lengthy discussions with ebay support, this was the only option they gave me to avoid a repeat of those experience. This car is sold AS

Saab 9-3 production has restarted
Sun, 01 Dec 2013If you're one of the small cadre of Saab drivers, first of all, kudos to you. Because as Top Gear pointed out, Saab drivers are among the most intellectual drivers out there. Secondly, we've got good news for you, because the 9-3 has officially resumed production at the Trollhättan plant in Sweden.
For those of you who may not have followed the story, a quick refresher: Founded in 1947, Saab Automobile AB was an independent automaker until 1989 when General Motors began the decade-long process acquiring it. Unable to make it profitable, GM sold Saab to Spyker in 2010, but that Dutch automaker proved unable to make a go of it, either, and finally shut it down a year later. Much of Saab's assets were acquired by National Electric Vehicle Sweden, which in turn is partially owned by the Chinese city of Qingdao, which pledged to get production back online by the end of the year.
NEVS has apparently made good on its promise, bringing 600 workers back to the factory to resume production of the 9-3 much as it was when a workforce of 3,500 labored on it and its stablemates prior to the bankruptcy. The reborn 9-3 will be sold in Sweden and in China, with an electric version to bring some other updates sometime next year.
Spyker's $3B lawsuit against GM for blocking Saab sale thrown out
Tue, 11 Jun 2013US 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.

Saab owner may speed up relaunch with gas-powered 9-3
Wed, 21 Nov 2012National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the new owner of Saab, has good news for you if you happened to miss out on picking up a 9-3 before the company plummeted through bankruptcy. Automotive News Europe reports NEVS may offer a gasoline-powered 9-3 in 2013. That move would effectively step up the brand's re-launch plan by a full year. Originally, the company planned to introduce an electric vehicle in 2014, but NEVS is currently investigating ways to start production next summer using "a 9-3 with a traditional powertrain" in order to generate more cash for the electrification effort.
NEVS purchased Saab earlier this year with the intent of resurrecting the brand with a fully electric product portfolio. The new EVs would theoretically ride on the Saab Phoenix platform and be manufactured at the automaker's plant in Trollhattan, Sweden. The report of a resurrected gasoline model came courtesy of Mikael Oestlund, a company spokesperson familiar with the company's workings.
