Selling my 2007 Saab 9-3 Turbo, Automatic. Car is black with 136,000 miles on it. Runs and drives amazing, strong motor and trans. Runs like it has 75,000 miles on it. Regular maintenance during the time I've owned it (2 1/2 years 50,000 miles). Used this car mostly commuting from college to my hometown. Gorgeous car, I get so many compliments and head turns! Turbo still kicks and it gets up and goes, pretty quick car. 2.0 liter motor and gets insanely awesome gas mileage!! Huge plus as the car is fast because it's turbo charged but still gets as good of gas mileage as any non hybrid car!
Car handles great as it has some type of sport package (17 inch Saab rims and sport suspension), sits slightly lower than Saabs without. The car was purchased by me 2 1/2 years ago with a Salvage title due to minor damage to the front (damaged front bumper, hood and headlight), just body work, nothing mechanical. I've had the car 50,000 miles since the title was restored to REBUILT and there is no issue due to the minor damage. Airbag DID deploy and was NOT replaced. Just the driver (front facing) airbag. All others are completely fine (Driver side-side airbag, passenger front and side and all airbags in the backseats). It is possible to replace. The only other issue worth mentioning is the Strut bearings need replaced at some point. It's not an urgent issue as they are not a threat in any way, just make an annoying rattle over certain bumps. They run about $45 each, plus installation. Here's a list of what the car offers:

2007 Saab 9-3 Turbo Automatic Trans
2.0 liter motor (strong, no issues)
Turbo Charged (Super quick)
Slap shift paddle shift option
17 inch sport rims on 235/45/17's (front tread 60%, back 40%)
Leather Seats, HEATED
Power EVERYTHING (including Driver seat, not passenger)
Sunroof, flip or full slide (Does NOT leak)

List of known issues:

Front Driver Airbag needs replaced if wanted. For me it wasn't an issue.
Front Strut bearings need replaced at some point.

Clear coat on hood and front bumper cover is peeling. In the process of getting this redone/fixed.

Few small dents/scraps/scratches

Windshield wiper fluid assembly needs a hose or two ran to make work properly. (easy fix)

Side marker lights (lower front bumper) do not work and can't be connect due to different year bumper being put on when car was being repaired.

Missing the lower skirt on front bumper (see pictures)

All in all this is an awesome car for having 136,000. Keep in mind though that it has normal wear for the mileage.

GM recalls 500K Chevy Camaros for ignition-switch defect

Fri, 13 Jun 2014

General Motors issued a recall for more than a half million Chevrolet Camaros on Friday morning because of an ignition-switch safety hazard that mirrors the one at the center of the company's current crisis.
The problem affects Camaro models from the 2010 to 2014 model years. Approximately 464,712 cars are impacted in the United States, and 511,528 overall in North America. GM will alter the Camaro key to a more standard design, and will notify car owners with a recall notice in the mail.
In an announcement, the company said the ignition switches on the Camaros are fundamentally different parts than the older ignition switches found on defective cars that are responsible for killing at least 13 people and causing 54 crashes.

Saab 9-3 production has restarted

Sun, 01 Dec 2013

If 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.

NEVS completes Saab purchase, earns right to brand name but not griffin badge

Mon, 03 Sep 2012

According to the Associated Press, a Hong Kong-based concern is close to building new Saab models. After some delays, National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) has completed the purchase of bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab.
NEVS says it plans to debut an electric vehicle in about 18 months. When the car comes to market, it will wear the Saab name, but not the marque's well-known griffin logo. Reuters reports that the company will produce EVs based on the Saab 9-3 platform, with intentions to sell these vehicles primarily in the Chinese market. Due to the continued use of the distinctive griffin head logo by commercial truckmaker Scania and the Saab aerospace group, NEVS was only granted access to the Saab name, not its emblem.
