2001 9-5 Sedan with under 9,000 miles.

Premium package with Harmon Kardon Audio, Memory Drivers seat, Heated Seats

I purchased this car to replace my daughter's 9-3 which has 140,000 miles. She has decided to keep her car and I have a 9-3 Anniversary edition for my daily driver so the 9-5 needs a new home.

Condition is as you would expect for the mileage. There are a few cosmetic flaws in the black painted finish on the trim around the sunroof and rear window. Other than that the exterior, body and paint, etc. are close to perfect. When I bought the car from the daughter of the original owner the body needed three areas repaired, the lower rear right front fender and the left front wheel arch were creased and the rear bumper had minor damage to the right corner. These were repaired professionally and are now in as new condition.

Interior is also pristine, no rips, tears, wear areas on the upholstery or trim. There are two flaws, one is that the center emblem on the steering wheel has lost it's decal, the other is that the trim around the shifter had a small crack in it. I bought a replacement and will have it installed prior to final sale.

Mechanically there's not much to say, there really are no issues. The car starts , runs , and sounds as new. Engine is very quiet and smooth, no squeaks, rattles or looseness in the suspension. I also have a 2000 Aero with over 120k, nice well maintained car but the difference is striking. Rotors and pads have minor wear as would be expected. Tires are fresh Pirelli P-7's and have less than 1k on them.

Please look at the photos and feel free to ask any questions. I have also listed her for sale locally, therefore I reserve the right to cancel this auction early.

Son surprises mom with her dream car, a 1973 Saab 99

Wed, Aug 13 2014

Often, it feels like the news is just a never-ending stream of one depressing headline after another. It can be so liberating to see something positive and uplifting every once in a while. Just look at the ecstatic expression on this mother's face after receiving her dream car from her son. Mom has some seriously quirky taste too: she isn't after a muscle car or a two-seat droptop; instead, it's a 1973 Saab 99 EMS in a very '70s shade of copper at the top of her wish list. According to the video, it took her son about a year to track down this hunk of Swedish steel and save up the money to purchase it. Though, judging from his mom's reaction, it was worth every penny. She puts together what's going on with the Saab pretty quickly and immediately starts swearing at her son – out of love, of course. If you're feeling a little blue, consider this a much-needed pick-me-up. Watching the unbridled joy of someone getting something that they always wanted just feels wonderful.

Mahindra eying stake in Saab owner NEVS?

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

It's ironic that Saab's current vehicle architecture is called the Phoenix platform, because like the mythological bird, the company keeps returning from the ashes. That's right, the embattled Swedish automaker isn't completely dead yet. Again. Actually, it may be facing yet another buyout, and this time, the buyer may be from India.
Less than a month ago, the situation looked ominous for Saab. National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the carmaker's current owner, temporarily shut down 9-3 production at its Trollhättan factory not long after restarting it in the first place. According to Just Auto, it laid off about 100 consultants allegedly linked to problems making June payroll, as well. At the time, Saab claimed that the measures were temporary, and it was negotiating selling part ownership to another automaker.
Those assertions might have some truth behind them, it seems. Indian newspaper The Economic Times reports that Mahindra & Mahindra and an unnamed Asian automaker are negotiating with NEVS to purchase part of the company. It claims that the Indian automaker sees Saab as an opportunity to add a premium brand to its business.

National Electric Vehicle stops Saab 9-3 production amidst financing woes

Tue, 20 May 2014

It 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.
