Up for auction is my 2008 Saab 9-3 2.0T (The big T!) This is my 14th Saab. I started owning them when I was around 198and have absolutely loved every one I've had. My father was a GM man for years, but I eventually converted him and he ended up owning a pair of convertibles.
I purchased this car last year and immediately took it to Joseph Chermak Saab in Clarks Summit where it was completely gone over by their mechanics, all recalls were performed and service bulletins were completed as the vehicle was still under warranty. (Hey, why not use it up if you have it??) I had intentions of having the ECU tuned, so I thought it best to make sure everything was up to snuff before making changes.
Once she was home I logged onto the Saabnet forum and researched ECU tuning. I ended up settling on www.brewcityboost.com as they had great reviews and don't maximize performance at the cost of longevity or reliability. The big T cars come with 210 horsepower stock, which was great...but who wouldn't want another 57 horsepower?? The tune is a stage II tune that required an open air filter as a supporting modification. Prior to getting the ECM back I installed a set of iridium plugs, a new cabin air filter, and a K&N air filter element. With the ecotec direct injection engine and the tune....it a little gray rocket ship with a total of 267 hp!
I recently replaced the factory PIrelli all season tires (somehow they lasted until 80K miles) with a set of General G-MAX AS 03 all season performance tires. IThe new tires have around 800 miles on them and perform extremely well in water, which was one of the complaints I had about the Pirellis.
I installed ceramic brakes in the front and rear and just changed the oil with Mobil 1 synthetic and a FRAM Extraguard filter.
The only reason I'm selling is because a friend has an Audi A8 I've always wanted that he's willing to sell if I can send the Swedish to a new home. Don't worry, I still have a Saab SUV to satiate my Swedish hunger.
The exterior is in great condition with a pair of small door dings and one scrape beneath the front bumper where the previous owner scraped a parking curb. Pics of the flaws are in the listing.
The interior is in excellent condition and the car comes with every available option short of navigation. I particularly like the parking assistance and the added comfort of the OnStar system for when I don't have cellular coverage. The HID headlights and rain sensing wipers are awesome. It has the BOSE concert audio with an in dash CD changer, complete with two amplifiers and the XM radio for audiophiles.
All windows are one touch up....and down, which is a great idea in my opinion. I'm not sure why the car has dual climate control....I mean, you're sitting a foot away from the driver when you're a front seat passenger! The climate control works perfectly and I absolutely have to mention the best feature I've ever found in a Saab in all these years. The center console/arm rest slides forward and reverse on a rail system to make the driving position comfortable for anyone. Turbos are great, so are heated seats and XM Radio, but have a comfortable elbow really seems to make me smile for some reason.
The pictures aren't the greatest due to the time of day I took them. My camera has a flaw in the lens and puts a small blemish in the lower portion of all of the pictures. I assure you, it's not a coffee statin on the seats or any other part of the car.
If you have any questions, please drop me a line and I'll sort you out. Thanks for looking!

Saab plant reopens, production to resume by year's end?
Mon, 19 Aug 2013Saab is gearing up to start production of the 9-3 again in September, two years after the last exampled rolled off the assembly line at the company's Trollhättan factory, Aftonbladet reports. Saab's new owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS), a Chinese-Japanese consortium created solely to buy Saab, says that the model's parts supply is the bottleneck in the production process, understandable since many of Saab's suppliers closed after it stopped production two years ago. The automaker also needs to establish a new dealership network. It is not entirely clear where Saab will market their new models, but North America is not expected to figure into their plans, at least initially.
Almost 400 factory employees are reportedly back working at Trollhättan, and Saab is looking to recruit 180 workers to help with production, presuming the factory can overcome its supply issues and go back online in the fall.
The new 9-3 is understood to be something short of an all-new car, a revision of the old 9-3 that started production in 2002. It will reportedly be offered initially as a four-door sedan and two-door convertible, and it will have a turbocharged engine, according to NEVS, which we expect will be a four cylinder. An electric 9-3 could come as early as next year. Turbocharged engines are part of Saab's DNA, NEVS Vice President Mattias Bergman has stated, and future Saab models will have them - despite the automaker's planned progression toward electric vehicles. The 9-3 will get small facelifts over time, says Mikael Östlund, a press officer at NEVS.
Rare 9-5 SportCombi, 9-4X models being sold off in Saab asset auction
Mon, 03 Dec 2012Saab lovers take notice. Swedish auction house KVD has some ultra rare Saab products on the block, and we're not talking about a 1950s Saab 92. Up for auction are a bunch of low-mileage Saab models being sold off as part of the bankrupted automaker's assets. Included in the lot of cars are models like the 2012 9-5 SportCombi (above), the 2012 9-4X (shown below) and even a 9-5 sedan driven by Victor Muller himself.
Discovered by PistonHeads, this Saab auction has numerous 9-5 SportCombi and 9-4X models, which should prove to be very rare cars. Only a small number of 9-4Xs were ever sold, and Saab closed up shop before the 9-5 SportCombi could even go on sale here. In addition to the rarity, many of the cars have fewer than 10 miles on their odometers and seemingly low reserve prices; a 9-4X 3.0 XWD Premium with just six miles has a current bid of 180,000 Swedish Krona (just over $27,000 USD) that has already met the reserve price. Some of the cars still have the protective factory shipping tape covering up the interior and exterior.
Other than the rare SportCombis and 9-4Xs being auctioned off, there's also a sharp 2012 9-3 Cabriolet with 11 miles on the clock and a V8-powered 2006 Saab 9-7X with just 3,003 miles.
Nicolas Cage flogs Saab-based Senova from Beijing Auto [w/video]
Mon, 13 May 2013BAIC has officially pulled the covers off of its new Senova D Series sedan for China. The four-door is based on the old Saab 9-5 and boasts a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Local buyers can get their hands on the machine for around $22,745 at current conversion rates. Other engine options include a turbocharged 1.8-liter four cylinder as well as turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder, and a wide range of safety equipment comes standard on every trim except the very base model. Those goodies include a tire pressure monitoring system, active head restraints, blind spot detection, driver fatigue detection and parking sensors.
The Senova nameplate serves every model based on former Saab architectures, including the Epsilon, GM2900 and GM2400 platforms as well as engine and transmission tech. In order to promote its new products, BAIC has hired Hollywood staple Nicolas Cage to serve as the company's brand ambassador. Cage stars in the Senova-heavy Town of Car Legends action-packed video short (directed by Olivier Megaton of Transporter 3 and Taken 2 fame) which you can view by scrolling below.
