2002 Saab 9 5 Turbo Linear Wagon on 2040-cars
Fairplay, Maryland, United States
|
Condition: Good except transmission problem. The car is in "limp home mode" due to a transmission issue. I took the car to a Saab mechanic who told me that there was an internal issue and that I should get a used/new transmission. My second opinion was from an AAMCO mechanic who told me that there was an internal electrical issue and that they can rebuild the transmission. I can drive the car using the shift like a manual transmission (as the Saab book said to do), start out in L, then shift into 3, then shift into 4, finally shifting into D. The car actually runs really good over 45MPH. I can get up to 75MPH without any problems. The AC is currently not working. The Saab mechanic told me that when the car goes into "Limp home mode" that non essential electrical items are shut down. He said when the transmission is fixed and the car is out of "limp home mode" that the ac should work just fine. I did check the freon levels and the levels are fine giving no indication of leaks. The interior is grey, leather. The leather is in very good condition. The faux wood does have a faded look as well as some chipping by the gear shift. Features: heated seats, power windows, power locks, sunroof, glove box can become an cooler, cd player (it had the multiple cd player in the rear but someone took that out), cassette player, alloy wheels, running day lights History: I do not know much about this vehicle's history. I bought the car at the auto auction 2 weeks ago. I had a body technician check out the car and he said the front end was replaced. He said that the title has a flag of salvage so that the owner probably junked the car given an accident to the front end (just speculation, not facts). I found a car history report which indicated salvage as of 2009, however the car was driven and inspected as of 2012 and 2014 (evidence from receipts and inspection stickers). My plan was to drive it however I was not banking on the transmission not working. I do drive the vehicle but I would rather have it fixed so that I don't get stranded somewhere and since that is not in my budget right now I am just trying to sell it for what I paid for it. Shipping and payment: I accept Paypal for payment or a cashier's check. Please remit $500.00 deposit via Paypal after 48 hrs of winning bid. I am located in Hagerstown, MD so local pickup is appreciated. If you are close by and would like me to drive the car to you please email me and we can chat about that possibility. The car is being sold AS-IS. If you have questions please ask me prior to bidding. Thank you! |

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 US bankruptcy plan gets legal green-light
Thu, 18 Jul 2013It feels utterly bizarre that we're still talking about Saab, but Reuters is reporting that the bankrupt Swedish manufacturer's American arm has gotten approval from the US Bankruptcy Court to liquidate its assets and pay back creditors. As part of the plan, secured creditors like Ally Financial will receive full repayment. Unsecured creditors, consisting of those affected by abandoned leases and contracts will get anywhere from 25 to 82 percent of their money back.
There are currently $77 million in unsecured claims, according to Reuters, but that number doesn't include claims from former Saab dealers. Naturally, the entire affair is full of lawyers and legalese. A trust formed on the Saab side will be negotiating with creditors and their affiliates in an attempt to reduce claims against Saab. This sounds like the start of a long and sordid affair...
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.
