2007 Saab 9-3 2.0t Wagon Turbocharged on 2040-cars
Dorset, Vermont, United States
|
Fastest, sportiest family car you'll find... Rare wagon model with turbocharged 2.0 litre engine is very quick, interior is in great condition. All leather seats with wood trim throughout the vehicle. Cold weather pkg special edition, tiptronic manual/automatic transmission, power sunroof with sliding moon roof. Privacy slider for cargo bay & roof racks. It's hard to come by these wagon's & when you do they are usually over listed at dealerships. Dealershp book value for it is $7,134. Here's a chance to save a lot of money - listing it for private party book value because it's worth every penny. If we don't sell it in a couple weeks we'll keep it ourselves. Steering is tight, rotors and pads good, fully inspected. When we first purchased it, we had the Saab Specialist in central VT go through it and they said there's absolutely nothing wrong with it. They went through it again this year and gave it a fresh oil change a month ago. We bought it last year with 87K on it and put about 48,000 miles on it in a year and a half doing weekly trips from RI to VT, so all highway miles. Now that we live in VT permanently we don't have to worry about good gas mileage so much so we've "upgraded" to a minivan. All windows, doors, seats, locks, radio, speakers, everything is fully functional. (The only observation we've made is every once in awhile when you start it, it will beep at you saying there is a "steering lock malfunction", then it goes away seconds later. We've asked the saab specialist in VT and he said there is nothing to fix - it's a common fault on this model year triggered when the battery isn't full charged. Doesn't impact safety or driveability) We are having the interior detailed this week (shampoo carpets, etc) so it will be ready for you to drive away.

Saab's Victor Muller wanted to nix Griffin, return to airplane emblem
Tue, 09 Oct 2012According to Just-Auto.com Victor Muller wasn't a fan of the Saab Griffin logo. The executive was quoted as saying he wanted to "abolish" the Griffin logo and return to the airplane emblem. Muller made it clear that if he'd had his way, the propeller would have replaced the Griffin across the Saab lineup long ago.
National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the company that recently bought Saab, was forced to abandon the Griffin logo due to the fact that the emblem is still used by truck manufacturer Scania. The manufacturer is reportedly concerned about potential Chinese counterfeiting - NEVS is owned by Youngman, a Chinese automaker - though it's unclear how that relationship would lead to illegal copies.
Either way, NEVS has said the loss of the Griffin logo isn't that important to the company so long as it can continue to build on the Saab name. Muller, meanwhile, said he wishes NEVS luck in the company's electric-vehicle endeavor, but that he doesn't understand its new business model.
Saab begins 9-3 EV pilot production
Thu, 10 Apr 2014To say that Saab has had a tough time lately would be like saying that it's been a little colder than usual this winter. After General Motors finally gave up and sold it to Spyker in 2010, Saab declared bankruptcy the following year. GM successfully blocked Spyker from selling Saab to Chinese automaker Youngman the following year, but ultimately it ended up in the hands of another Chinese consortium called NEVS. Standing as it does for National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the new owners promised not only to restart production of the long-suffering 9-3, but also to turn it into an electric vehicle. And that's just what it's doing.
The latest news coming out of Sweden indicates that NEVS/Saab has started building the first examples of the 9-3 EV. These first 200 or so examples are set to be shipped off to Qingdao - the Chinese city that is home to the Tsingtao brewery, hosted the sailing components of the 2008 summer games on Beijing, was supposed to host an IndyCar race in 2012 before it was canceled, and also itself just happens to own 22 percent of NEVS.
These first EVs have their batteries mounted down low in the chassis for a low center of gravity and have a range of about 20 miles on a full charge. That's absolutely paltry compared to the other EVs on the market: a Nissan Leaf will travel more than four times that distance, and a Tesla Model S will go ten times farther on a charge.
NEVS to build new Saab models in China's Qingdao
Thu, 10 Jan 2013National Electric Vehicle Sweden has officially signed a deal with Qingdao Qingbo Investment Company that will see the NEVS build EVs in Qingdao, China. The move is the first step on the road toward eventually selling vehicles in China. Reuters reports that the Chinese company has agreed to invest $307.33 million, after which point Qingdao Qingbo will receive 22 percent of the NEVS shares. Currently, there's no word on exactly when the funds and shares will change hands, but the Swedish automaker has previously said it fully intends to launch its first EV by early 2014.
NEVS has also made waves about potentially building a version of the old Saab 9-3 with a traditional internal combustion driveline. Currently, the manufacturer says it plans to ship the vehicles it builds in Sweden to the Qingdao port and distribute them to the rest of China from there. Later down the line, a manufacturing facility in Qingdao will supply the country with Chinese-built Saab models.
