Here we have my beloved 1999 4 cyl 2.3 Litre Saab 9-5 Station Wagon. This wagon has a near-new looking body, only rust is seen spot run on the gas cover, no rot. Interior is just as beautiful, comfortable leather seats with no rips or tears but some wear. I am second owner, and previous owner sold it to a small dealership. After some investigating into the manual's "Notes" section, I see receipts written for oil changes-in Florida. This leads me to believe that the car has only seen one harsh New York winter exposed to salty roads, and this past winter wasn't all that terrible! Here are the pros and cons:
Pros: Beautiful interior Near-perfect exterior New tires (all four as of April, balanced and aligned, haven't been used since August). New exhaust manifold gasket (no noise from under the hood). New crankshaft position sensor (bad one is common with Saabs in higher mileage, causes stalling with a hot engine, no problems since)! Clean floor, always used floor mats New headlights, engine always ran on full synthetic oil blends since I got it All paperwork to prove everything up above! Cons: Tranmission is not working. I've heard rumors of other less expensive explanations why the car will not slip into gear, but at worst it's the transmission that's bad. Muffler is loud, not in a pro sports way. Hatchback lock broken, so I removed it. Shuts, but doesn't seal or lock, easy replacement if you buy part. I suspect cabin fan is no longer working; I feel cool/hot air as I should while driving, but not in park. Car is speedy with the turbo, Sport button (when pressed) adds a noticeable sporty feel with increased gear ratio response. Brakes are fair, turns on a dime. Sunroof/power windows are rocking, heated leather seats are an Upstate winter dream. Radio/speakers work as well. Seats fold down easily for massive storage capabilities. Includes wagon "shelf" unit for your fragile goods on top, rocks on bottom inside hatch. Who should buy this car? Someone who, like me, loves a Scandinavian/Swedish car such as a Volvo or Saab that is not only a quality drive, but a fun one. Someone who, unlike me, has the skill or money for shop time to keep up on repairs for such a car. I'm a college student that enjoyed this great car for six months, but time for me to get something a little more affordable to care for. Thank you! |

What would you drive in 1985?
Wed, May 6 2020Bereft of live baseball games to watch, I've turned to the good ship YouTube to watch classic games. While watching the 1985 American League Championship Series last night, several of the broadcast's commercials made its way into the original VHS recording, including those for cars. "Only 8.8% financing on a 1985 Ford Tempo!" What a deal! That got me thinking: what would I drive in 1985? It sure wouldn't be a Tempo. Or an IROC-Z, for that matter, despite what my Photoshopped 1980s self would indicate in the picture above. I posed this question to my fellow Autobloggists. Only one could actually drive back then, I was only 2 and a few editors weren't even close to being born. Here are our choices, which were simply made with the edict of "Come on, man, be realistic." West Coast Editor James Riswick: OK, I started this, I'll go first. I like coupes today, so I'm pretty sure I'd drive one back then. I definitely don't see myself driving some badge-engineered GM thing from 1985, and although a Honda Prelude has a certain appeal, I must admit that something European would likely be in order. A BMW maybe? No, I'm too much a contrarian for that. The answer is therefore a 1985 Saab 900 Turbo 3-Door, which is not only a coupe but a hatchback, too. If I could scrounge up enough Reagan-era bucks for the ultra-cool SPG model, that would be rad. The 900 Turbo pictured, which was for auction on Bring a Trailer a few years ago, came with plum-colored Bokhara Red, and you're damn sure I would've had me one of those. Nevermind 1985, I'd probably drive this thing today. Associate Editor Byron Hurd: I'm going to go with the 1985.5 Ford Mustang SVO, AKA the turbocharged Fox Body that everybody remembers but nobody drives. The mid-year update to the SVO bumped the power up from 175 ponies (yeah, yeah) to 205, making it almost as powerful (on paper, anyway) as the V8-powered GT models offered in the same time frame. I chose this particular car because it's a bit of a time capsule and, simultaneously, a reminder that all things are cyclical. Here we are, 35 years later, and 2.3-liter turbocharged Mustangs are a thing again. Who would have guessed?
GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems
Mon, 30 Jun 2014General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.
Man in a convertible drives in the rain with a Christmas tree
Mon, Dec 7 2015A man in a convertible had his holiday cheer extinguished thanks to England's infamous weather. Nicholas Dodd saw this sad, soaked through couple while driving down the A38 near Plymouth, Devon, according to the Daily Mirror. Dodd told the publication he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw a Saab, top down, in a pouring rain storm. That's not all. The top was down because of the large Christmas tree wedged in the back seat. "We couldn't believe what we were seeing," Dodd said. "It was crazy - especially with the weather - but I guess he just wanted to get his Christmas tree home anyway he could." The Saab driver's female passenger also looks less than pleased by the sudden squall. "His missus was beside him but they didn't seem to find it as funny as we did," Dodd said. "He was just keeping his head down in a vain attempt to avoid the rain but was getting a real soaking." Dodd posted the video to Facebook, where commenters also had a good laugh at the soaking wet Saab owners. Weird Car News Saab Videos christmas rain
