We understand that buying a vehicle online can sometimes leave you un-easy. We are aware that there are other dealers online that do not fully describe the vehicles listed. They might leave important information out, or not have a thorough description of that item.

Our goal is simple. We aim to be honest and fair with all of our deals. Word of mouth and return business has gotten us this far. We achieve this by providing you with all of the information YOU need to make a comfortable decision, and hopefully proceeding to your investment, a vehicle! We strive for A+ satisfaction. We do not want to waste anyone’s time, and definitely don’t want to mislead you. 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!

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics

Mon, 20 Aug 2012

After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Koenigsegg super cars team with Saab successor NEVS to go electric

Wed, Jan 30 2019

STOCKHOLM — The Chinese-backed company born from the remnants of bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab is investing 150 million euros ($171 million) in a venture with Swedish super car brand Koenigsegg, in a move that could see them develop new electric models. National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS), in which China's Evergrande Health recently became the majority investor, said it would take a 65 percent stake in a new joint venture to "develop a product for new and untapped segments." Koenigsegg will hold the rest, and contribute intellectual property, technology licenses and product design. The deal deepens China's exposure to Swedish automakers, with Geely owning Volvo Cars and the largest investor in truckmaker AB Volvo, and another Chinese investor having created NEVS in 2012 after buying the core assets and IP rights of Saab Automobile following its demise. NEVS, which owns production bases in Trollhattan in Sweden and Tianjin in China and plans another in Shanghai, has been trying to establish itself as a pure electric automaker, but has yet to produce a car. Evergrande Health's $930 million cash infusion into NEVS, announced this month, was seen as a second lifeline, giving it funds to develop costly electric vehicles and access to new auto technologies, where Evergrande is expanding. The Chinese firm is a unit of property developer China Evergrande Group and is a former investor in U.S. electric vehicle developer Faraday Future. Tuesday's deal will give NEVS a 20 percent stake in Koenigsegg and could potentially pave the way for it to begin delivering products to the market, with its loose partnership with Didi Chuxing, China's Uber, yet to yield anything concrete. "Koenigsegg is an enticing company developing advanced cars with unique technology and with a customer base that is one of a kind. ... We have both competencies and facilities to support Koenigsegg on their journey forward," NEVS Chairman Kai Johan Jiang said. Koenigsegg, backed by U.S. and Norwegian investors, sought to buy Saab after its 2011 collapse but the deal never materialized. While the luxury brand has built a plug-in hybrid, it has yet to develop a fully electric vehicle. Tesla's sales success in recent years has shown that a market for luxury electric cars exists, pushing traditional carmakers including Volkswagen's Audi and Porsche, and Tata Motors' Jaguar to develop their own versions.

Recharge Wrap-up: Renault's electric motors, BMW i3 is AM free

Wed, Jul 1 2015

Why isn't AM radio offered in the BMW i3? Some drivers – particularly those interested in local traffic reports – have noticed its absence. BMW says that the electromagnetic interference from the electric drivetrain caused poor performance, and that while reception wasn't always terrible, it wasn't up to their standards. Rather than have customers complain to their dealers, who would be unable to do anything for them, BMW has disabled AM reception in the i3. Some customers have hacked their cars in order to enable the AM radio, despite possible warranty issues, and have found the reception to be acceptable. Read more at Green Car Reports. Saab's current parent company, National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), broke ground for production and R&D facilities in Tianjin, China. The facilities are part of joint ventures with the city of Tianjin and State Research Information Technology (SRIT). In addition to investments of over $190 million from SRIT and Teamsun, NEVS has received $1.6 billion in credit from the Bank of China to develop its business there. The new Tianjin factory will have a capacity of 200,000 new energy vehicles per year. The facility in Trollhattan, Sweden will provide manufacturing planning, training, and product supply for the Tianjin plant. Read more at Green Car Congress, and in the press release from NEVS. Renault is building the new R240 electric motor for the Zoe at its Cleon plant. The plant and its employees, which specialize in the Energy dCi diesel engine, have adapted to produce high volumes of the electric motor as well, including a 6,000 hours of training for the staff and millions of dollars in investments. "We aim to become the leading powertrain plant for the Alliance," says Cleon plant director Mendi Ammad. The plant is capable of producing 50,000 units of the R240 motor per year, with that number expected to double in the future. Read more about the plant and the production process the press release below. NEW ELECTRIC MOTOR STRENGTHENS POWERTRAIN EXPERTISE AT CLEON ZOE's new electric motor, unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show, is a 100% Renault motor manufactured at the French site of Cleon, already specialized in highly technical powertrain production. Until now, the flagship of the Cleon plant was the Energy dCi (130, 140, 160) internal-combustion engine. The diesel unit with advanced technological content has made a name for itself at Groupe Renault, the Alliance and with our partners.
