This is why we inform you of EVERYTHING we know, and provide you with detailed descriptions and conditions of the item for sale. Business is expanding, explaining the new eBay account.

The Saab 9-5 linear is a very well-engineered Swedish machine. Saab started out first with the intent to build airplanes. Demand was low shortly after so with the same engineering they soon started building cars. Kind of like B.M.W., these vehicles are not built like your average American or foreign car.

This is not your older Saab; they claim that there were 1,100 changes to substantially improve this generation. These are very thoroughly built with comfort, convenience and SAFETY in mind for you, the consumer. Did you know that the Saab 9-3 and 9-5 were the first cars in the world to earn the max score in a side impact crash test? The standard side impact airbags have a lot to do with this. Saab decided to carry this to every car no matter what budget.

The experts from the consumer guide rated this car a 58, same as the Volkswagen Passat. Impressive! The BMW 3-series was rated lower at 56. Volvo’s S40 rated 47. Mercedes-Benz C-class rated a 46 and the Audi A4 received a 45. These are based upon 10 different categories from ‘99-‘02. Saab’s 9-3 beat all of these high end vehicles and most likely you never knew or considered Saab. People are starting to catch on and now. VW is in high demand, just like Honda was and still is. Be ahead of the game and buy a Saab now before the prices become unfair.

Yes, Saab filed bankruptcy and they are no longer in business as of right now. I have heard people are scared as their concern is about parts and labor. There will always be parts available in the replacement and modification market. They are not harder to find than any other car nor more expensive. They might be a little harder to find than Honda, because they are not mass produced, low quality parts. As for the labor side, any mechanic can work on these vehicles. I have not heard of different rates because it is a Saab. This is not a Porsche, where a tune up is going to cost you $500. An oil change is going to cost the same as your average car and you don’t need to be an engineer to do it yourself. I thought it would be nice to share some information I have learned over time.

Finally…

INTERIOR: Saab’s generally attract buyers that are very meticulous and neat. This 9-5 looks barely worn. The black leather seats look great, no rips, tears and barely even creased. Carpets look good. There are no offensive odors in the car. The spare tire, jack and tools are all still there. The quality and workmanship shows in this vehicle. I noticed the ‘night mode button’ and I had to push it. This shuts off or dims the lights that are not important for the driver. This creates less distraction for the driver when driving in the night. I think this feature would be great for the women. I noticed the dash cup holder does work properly, and there is one in the center console. I think there is a component part not functioning properly. I have not noticed any significant signs of wear. The A/C was cold and easy to use. The sunroof works great and all the windows. Everything works!

EXTERIOR: The body looks straight and sharp! With its own unique look similar to none it is very sleek looking. There are no obvious scratches of dents. There is a small ding on the driver side of the rear door. The tires all look great as you can see in the pictures. The fog light covers are gone, but it is actually barely noticeable.

MOTOR/HANDLING: The Saab 9-5 was very impressive to drive. Saab did not lack in any category as far as, acceleration, suspension, comfort, ease of use. This car definitely feels safe to be in. I can feel the turbo spoil up and the boost gauge works properly indicating everything is running smooth. It is very risky to buy a car online without knowing the condition of the turbo. The gears went in smooth and the clutch is very sensitive, feels new. The suspension felt great and steering was excellent. This is a fun daily driver, safe, reliable, and sporty. I admire the EcoPower engine. It was designed to put out high power and torque when it is needed, BUT still delivers good fuel economy and low emissions. I looked up the avg. mpg for this car and found people are averaging 28.5 miles per gallon in the gas engines. I think anywhere around that would be great. When I was driving I noticed the check endine light is on, ABS light, Brake light, and the speedometer was not working. The code ready P1625 and I did some research. This is a SIMPLE FIX. If you clean the ABS TCS module, all of these problems are linked and they will all be fixed. At worst case just buy a new one for under $100. Saablink.net will provide you with the same info, just do some light research. This car feels very reliable and I would have no doubt in driving it across the country. It was taken on a 3 hour drive with no problems!

To sum up this car, this car is probably what most of you are looking for, something safe for your first time driver, cheap, and easy to insure also. Are you looking for a gas efficient car that’s not from the 90’s? Or maybe you are looking for a daily driver, something to put miles on, either way this car has got you covered and it should deliver more than what you need. This car will get you where you need to be safe and cost effective, and it will last you as long as you need it. It is just broken in. It is simple, if you need a car like this for cheap, just buy it!

3 former Saab execs charged with tax evasion

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Associated Press reports three former Saab executives have been arrested on charges of accounting fraud. Swedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren has refused to identify the individuals, but says they're suspected of attempting to evade taxes by falsifying Saab accounts between 2010 and 2011 during the Spyker years. Other reports indicate the parties involved include former General Counsel to Saab Kristina Geers (seen to the left of former CEO Victor Muller, above), a 15-year-veteran of the company - her husband, Eric, was the company's communications director for 9 years as well.
Saab filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and was purchased shortly thereafter by National Electric Vehicle Sweden. If convicted, the trio could face up to four years in prison for their crimes under Swedish law.

Look familiar? NEVS 9-3, 9-3X are Saab-derived EVs for China

Wed, May 31 2017

National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) have been working on creating EVs based on its Saab assets for years. We heard back in 2015 that we'd have an EV based on the 9-3 this year, and now we're finally getting to see the results. NEVS has unveiled its 9-3 and 9-3X EV concepts, which it will use in a mobility project in Tianjin, China. NEVS is showing the 9-3 EVs at CES Asia in Shanghai on June 7-9, where it will also provide more details about the cars, its Tianjin project, and future plans for the brand. As for Tianjin, NEVS will provide the cars and the services for carsharing and ride-hailing programs in the city. For that project, NEVS is collaborating with Tianjin Binhai Hi-tech Industrial Development Area (THT), which is the industrial park where its shared factory (with joint venture partner Dongfeng) and R&D center are located. NEVS President Mattias Bergman says, "We are excited by this great opportunity to develop smart, sustainable mobility solutions together with a progressive city as Tianjin, and develop them in full scale with real people in real life situations, with the vision to create a future integrated urban mobility solution." As for the 9-3 EVs, they're not much different in appearance from the GM-era Saabs, but they have NEVS badging (NEVS doesn't have rights to the Saab trademark). They have a driving range of about 186 miles, offer in-car Wi-Fi, smartphone connectivity, and can get over-the-air software updates. NEVS says the cars are equipped with a "world-class" cabin air filter, which helps keep harmful particulates out of the car (important in the polluted urban centers China is working to improve). They're being built in China, and are expected to hit the roads there in 2018. Related Video:

Rally legend Erik Carlsson dies at 86

Wed, May 27 2015

The motorsports world has lost a legend with the passing of famous rally driver Erik Carlsson at the age of 86. If you've ever seen a photo of a vintage Saab sliding around a corner or blasting through tree-lined roads, there was a good chance that Carlsson was behind the wheel. The man was so tied to the Swedish auto brand that he earned the nickname Mr. Saab. Carlsson experienced his greatest competition success in the late '50s and early '60s when he scored victories in premier events like the Monte Carlo Rally (pictured above). Among his more impressive performances were consecutive wins in '60, '61, and '62 Britain's RAC Rally. His three-cylinder, 750cc Saab 96 wasn't insanely powerful, but Carlsson made it a monster in the world of rallying. In 2010, Saab named a special edition 9-3 after him and honored his victory at the RAC Club in London. Beyond being impressive behind the wheel of a rally car and a longtime Saab brand ambassador, the driver had a habit of rolling his car during competition to earn the moniker "Carlsson On The Roof." According to Classic and Sports Car, he also wrote the book The Art and Technique of Driving that detailed his left-foot braking method, and it was co-authored with his wife, fellow racing driver Pat Moss. Our condolences go out to Carlsson's friends and family.
