Beautiful 2007 Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible 1 Owner Low Miles Turbo Spectacular! on 2040-cars
Milford, New Hampshire, United States
This is simply a spectacular car.
I will assume that if you are looking at this listing you know a bit about the car- I'll ramble on, anyway.... it's just what I do. We are the original owners and the car has led a pampered, garaged life- No winters, salt, snow- in the rain a few times. This is a 2007 SAAB 9-3 Aero Convertible in the most beautiful blue I've ever seen. The car is absolutely loaded with EVERY single possible option- sticker was OVER $50,000! I won't list everything but...... 2.8 Turbo Motor w/ Synthetic always Power: Mirrors, Windows, Top, Locks, etc A/C and Climate Control Power Heated Seats Navigation CD Traction Control Xenon Lights Etc..... Comes with all papers, manuals, books, etc as well as docs showing 10/20/30K services complete. I do have the original window sticker, as well. I barely cleaned the car for the pics- I did a vac and did wipe down the dashboard....... that's it. Carpets, mats, etc are AS NEW. The top is a work of art if you've never seen the panels rise, the roof fold away, the panels drop...... pretty cool. This car also has the feature of a true 4-season car. Yes..... it's a convertible, but the top is of incredible quality and it's Front Wheel drive and made in Sweden so it is (at the very least) a 3-1/2 season car. I sold my Miata (just) and that was NOT like this SAAB- absolutely loved the Miata but it was RWD, etc. We are simply selling the SAAB as it's not practical right now with a 5 year old. Take care of it and maybe we'll buy it back in 5 years! Just not the right car at the right time- we just bought a little Mazda 3 and........ it ain't this SAAB, that's for sure! But, it makes more sense right now. I'm selling my house and that's why the Miata went- right car..... wrong time. Life, I guess. I won't say that you won't find a nicer Aero but.... I don't think you will..... not from the original owners, no winters, garaged, no accidents, no stories, no nothing. Dealers often have some nice cars and I don't want to disparage them but...... I don't like unknowns. I want to know who had a car, where it was kept, how it was cared for, etc....... Please see the pics and ask questions if you have some. We have the title in hand. |

NEVS announces 200 layoffs as it says Saab restart will 'take time'
Fri, 26 Sep 2014For a fleeting moment a few weeks ago, the news from Saab-owner National Electric Vehicle Sweden appeared almost positive. The company had its reorganization plan approved (a day after it was denied), and the automaker was actually showing a real, running vehicle, albeit one with a top speed of 75 miles per hour. But those tiny crumbs of potential goodness have been swept away because NEVS has announced layoffs of as many as 200 factory employees in September "due to lack of work."
Workers probably shouldn't get too eager to return to the factory either, because company's "decision to re-start production will be further delayed" by an unspecified amount of time, NEVS says in a press release. To begin assembling cars again, the company needs to find long-term funding and a new majority owner. Those seem like two very steep hurdles for the embattled automaker to clear.
Despite not producing cars since May, NEVS still claims it's negotiating with a new owner, possibly Mahindra, but according to Reuters, the Swedish company owes about 400 million kronor ($56 million) to creditors. According to its layoff announcement, getting rid of these workers is one step in the business' reorganization plan to be presented on October 8. Scroll down to read its full release.
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.
Junkyard Gem: 1989 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible
Fri, Oct 14 2022I live in Colorado, where Saabs were loved deeply by residents going way back to the 96 (and I'm sure a few 92s were sold here in the 1950s, though I haven't found any in local car graveyards … yet). By far the easiest pre-GM Trollhattanites to find in Centennial State wrecking yards these days are the 1978-1993 900s, and I walk by a half-dozen for each one that I document as a Junkyard Gem. We admired a gloriously brown 900 Turbo two-door a few months back, but today's 900 Turbo is an extremely rare cabriolet version, the first I've found in a boneyard in at least 15 years. The convertible 900 was available only as a turbocharged version in the United States when it was introduced for the 1986 model year, and that continued through 1991. After that, a naturally-aspirated 900 convertible could be bought here. When in very nice condition, these cars can bring tidy sums. A super-low-mile '87 900 Turbo convertible just sold for $145,000 recently, in fact. This car has more than 843 times as many miles on the odometer as that car, however, and it shows every one of them. It's not terribly rusty, considering, but the sheet metal shows many battle scars, and the interior is about what you'd expect with 33-year-old leather. Last year's film adaptation of Haruki Murakami's short story, "Drive My Car," put the Saab 900 Turbo back into mainstream cultural awareness. However, that car is a two-door sedan; the best-known Saab 900 Turbo Convertible in cinema history is the one driven by Iben Hjelje's character in the film adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel, "High Fidelity." These cars were fairly quick for their time, with 160 horsepower from this DOHC 2.0-liter straight-four in 1989. Having seen more than my share of 900 Turbos going up against same-era BMW E30s and Acura Integras on road courses, I'd put my money on the Saab in a wheel-to-wheel race (that is, in a race short enough to keep the Swede's nervous engine alive). While a three-speed automatic was available on this car, the kind of Americans odd enough to buy Saabs in 1989 also tended to be the type that wanted manual transmissions. In fact, I can't recall ever seeing a (non-Opel-based) 900 with a slushbox. Yes, Opel! Starting in the 1994 model year, the 900 name went on a car based on the Opel Vectra platform. Later on, the Saab 9-5 and Saturn L-Series lived on the same chassis. Given all the luxury features and genuine performance, this car was a pretty good value for the price in 1989.
