2000 Saab 9-5 on 2040-cars
South Haven, Michigan, United States

This is a pretty good running SAAB . I was using it as a daily driver , but I quickly realized I needed a pickup for construction side work. I bought this car on EBAY from a gentleman that said it needed a starter, and he had no idea why it was a flood vehicle. I quickly realized it wouldn't start because the engine was full of antifreeze and the pistons were in pieces. ( interference engine )
I put a used engine with 75,000 miles on it, new timing belt, new stainless exhaust, head gasket, and new brakes. I also put a new blend motor on the HVAC system. Recent tune up. This car got me about 28-30 mpg average. The engine is a turbo and it has some get up and go.
The interior is in Ok condition, the previous owners dog chewed up the storage bin cover. ($50 on ebay) No rust , a few scratches , and a few parking lot dents. The sunroof is a great feature and works great. The transmission shifts good, synthetic fluid. I have all receipts. I will sell this car with the timing tool ( $94) if it gets over $1500. The ac worked last summer. The LED on the radio needs replacing , a common SAAB issue.
If you are looking for a cheap car that is not some ugly brown taurus , looks good going down the road ( with a little pep) this is a good one for you .
Car comes AS-IS with no warranty . I have described everything that I know is wrong with it. I have receipts for the engine, exhaust, brakes etc.
I just changed a camshaft gasket to sell. I do not have it registered , and I haven't been able to drive it long distances. If you buy it from far away, I would trailer it home just in case.

Saab 900 SPG is the latest Petrolicious love story
Thu, 03 Oct 2013The latest video from the crew at Petrolicious covers one funky Swede - a 1989 Saab 900 SPG. Produced from 1978 to 1998, the 900 enjoyed a long history, and thanks to its iconic look, it's quickly becoming a modern classic for the off-kilter car enthusiast. The SPG, short for Special Performance Group, makes this a particularly rare find, with owner Jordan Melville saying, "I didn't even realize what I had at the time."
Melville gives a rundown of his life with the 900 and his passion for Saab overall, even reflecting on that dark day that saw the Swedish brand closed its doors. As always, the videography is excellent and the story is intriguing in this latest video from Petrolicious. You can view the entire video down below.
GM denies Spyker claims in $3B Saab lawsuit
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Reuters reports General Motors has dismissed claims by Spyker outlined in a $3 billion lawsuit. Spyker alleged GM deliberately bankrupted Saab by preventing a deal with Chinese investor Zhejiang Youngman Lotus. GM, meanwhile, filed a response with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan saying that as the former owner of Saab, GM had the legal right to approve the deal with Youngman. But Spyker's lawsuit claimed GM's refusal to approve the deal with Youngman stemmed from the fact that the American automaker didn't want to create a competitor in China.
GM has said the issue stemmed more from the fact that it would stop licensing its technology to Saab or stop building vehicles for the manufacturer in the event it was bought by Youngman. Since Saab built its own platform that didn't use any GM tech, Spyker says that argument is meritless.
The lawsuit has Spyker seeking $3 billion in compensatory damages, though that number could swell with interest, punitive damages and legal fees, as well. Victor Muller, Spyker chief executive, has said the lawsuit is being funded by an anonymous third party. That party will share in any settlement. Youngman has refused to comment on whether or not it's footing the legal bill.
National Electric Vehicle stops Saab 9-3 production amidst financing woes
Tue, 20 May 2014It seems that quirky, Swedish automaker Saab might be on life support yet again. Its owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden, has announced that it's reducing its workforce and temporarily halting production of the 9-3 due to financial problems. NEVS was only building six cars a day, anyway.
The company put out a press release admitting its economic woes, but it still appeared hopeful. NEVS claims it's developing "a new platform on the Phoenix architecture," and it has a frame agreement with an international automotive OEM. It didn't give any specific details about either one of these assertions though. According to The Wall Street Journal, NEVS needs the partnership to lower development costs in order to stay afloat. Saab spokesperson Mikael Ostlund told Autoblog in an email that the stop in production of the 9-3 in Trollhättan would last four weeks.
NEVS says it's in negotiation to sell a portion of the company to an automotive company. Its current monetary woes are caused by shareholder Qingbo Investment Company not financing the company as agreed. "We plan to have the results of the discussions at latest during June," said Ostlund.
