Up for sale is my 2008 Saab 9-5 Sport Combi wagon with 58,784 miles (subject to change as I drive the car from time to time). It is fully loaded with the exception of factory nav. It has 6 CD player, MP3 port, heated/ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, auto trans with paddle shifters, sunroof, 17 inch wheels tires...  lots more. 

The car was purchased at Bluegrass Motorsport in Louisville KY as a demo and promptly shipped to Germany when/where I moved.  It was operated there until this past Oct when it returned.  It was service only by Autohaus Dechent Opel/Saab in Heidelberg, GE and and AutoHaus Darge, Kindsbach, GE. I did most of the oil changes myself using Mobil 1 (no lie). 

The car had new pads and rotors installed at 49K, new rear wiper, a new battery in 2011, a new throttle body in 2010 (it turned out it wasn't the TB after all but moisture in the system), and minor paint work on the lower front when I snagged a piece of a metal pole sticking out the ground while parking.  The damage was to the paint in front and unfortunately the air box behind the front fascia both fixed by Autohaus Darge. The windshield was replaced due to a chip.  TUV (the German version of DOT) will no longer allow repairs so... it was replaced.  The 17" tires were new in 2010 and have about 65% tread left.
Everything on this car works as it should.  There are no mechanical issues whatsoever! The paint has a few scratches the most serious on the passenger front fender (a piece of wire tagged it... while parking... see a trend?  It's the 3/4 scale German parking spots... see pict) and the front edge of the hood has some very small paint chips (again, see pict of the area surrounding the front hood emblem). There's also some minor clear coat chips on the drivers side lower front fascia (it won't show in a photo).  Naturally a few swirls here and there but nothing you'd notice from 5 feet away.

Okay, for the best news.  If you hit the "Buy It Now" and successfully pay for it, you also get a full set (4 tires and wheels with lug nuts) of 18" MODA wheels and Sumitomo tires (used for about 8 months) (see picts)(these are from Tire Rack).  There is not a single rash on these wheels.  They were used on a 2007 Saab 9-3 convertible summers only and stored in plastic bags when not on the car.  There's no TPMS on either set (only on the 17 inch set on the car).
AND a full set of Dunlop Glaspic snow tires on steel rims (used two winters only)(from Tire Rack, as well) PLUS a set of roof rack bars and two roof mounted bicycle racks (neither ever used... from GM Europe in Germany)).  I have the manual for the bike racks and the rack and bars have locks with keys (See picts).

AGAIN, THIS DEAL ONLY APPLIES IF YOU HIT THE "BUY IT NOW" BUTTON.  Otherwise the winner gets the car and I have to sell the other stuff myself.

Again, this car has NO ISSUES.  It drives great and is my long distance trip car, getting 31 mpg if driven sanely.

Car has a clear title in my name and is ready to go. A $500 deposit secures via Paypal with with final payment via bank check or cashier check which must clear before the car will be released.  For anyone in KY, tags are current and taxes paid.
NADA is: Clean Retail- $14,825.00.  The reserve (minus the additional tires and rack) is less than that amount. KBB is $13,125-$12,325. 

Happy bidding.

PS:  I'm not desperate to sell as it's not costing me anything other than driveway space AND contrary to some belief in non-Saab circles (this car is my eight or ninth Saab) you can get parts all day long.

Mahindra buying majority stake in NEVS, Saab saved again?

Tue, Dec 2 2014

National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), owner of Saab, might not be dead yet, because the company is reportedly close to having a new owner with deeper pockets in near future. The declaration comes from the business's latest request to prolong its reorganization and includes the claim that NEVS has a signed letter of intent from an unnamed Asian automaker to take majority ownership of the beleaguered brand. While NEVS doesn't specifically name this potential, future owner in its filing, Automotive News Europe cites a SaabsUnited story proclaiming that the suitor is none other than Indian automaker Mahindra and Mahindra, a development that would confirm months of rumors. The Swedish automaker is reportedly just waiting for the majority investment to be finalized before making an official announcement, and the whole purchase could be complete by February. NEVS also claims that it's still negotiating with a separate, unnamed Asian automaker on a joint venture to co-develop new vehicles. Assuming the deal goes through, the new owner could regain the rights to the Saab brand, too. According to ANE, negotiations are underway with the Saab AB aerospace business to be able to use the trademark again. NEVS lost that right when it filed for reorganization. Mahindra has shown interest in owning Saab for quite some time. It was reportedly among the final three bidders for the brand in 2012, and the Indian automaker was allegedly eyeing a stake in NEVS as far back as June. Scroll down to read the brief press release from NEVS about the extended reorganization, and the full document can be viewed in PDF format, here. Nevs applies for prolonged reorganization Monday, December 01, 2014 National Electric Vehicle Sweden, Nevs, has today submitted an application to the District Court in Vanersborg, requesting that the company reorganisation shall continue for an additional time period of three months. The administrator Lars Eric Gustafsson expresses the rationale for why Nevs should be granted an extended reorganization in this enclosed statement.

Best and Worst GM Cars

Thu, Apr 7 2022

Oh yes, because we just love receiving angry letters from devoted Pontiac Grand Am enthusiasts, we have decided to go there. Based on a heated group Slack conversation, the topic came up about the best and worst GM cars. First of all time, and then those currently on sale, and then just mostly a rambling discussion of Oldsmobiles our parents and grandparents owned (or engineered). Eventually, three of us made the video above. Like it? Maybe we can make more. Many awesome GM cars are definitely going unmentioned here, so please let us know your bests and worsts in the comments below. Mostly, it's important to note that this post largely exists as a vehicle for delivering the above video that dives far deeper into GM's greatest hits and biggest flops, specifically those from the 1980s and 1990s. What you'll find below is a collection of our editors identifying a best current and best-of-all-time choice, plus a worst current and worst-of-all-time choice. Comprehensive it is not, but again, comments. -Senior Editor James Riswick Best Current GM Vehicle Chevrolet Corvette We were flying by the seats of our pants a bit in this first outing and my notes were similarly extemporaneous. When it came time to tie it all together on camera, I failed spectacularly. Thank the maker for text, because this gives me the opportunity to perhaps slightly better explain my convoluted reasoning. I chose the C8 Corvette because it's simply overwhelmingly good, and it's merely the baseline from which this generation of Corvette will be expanded.  While the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing (more on that in a minute) is an amazing snapshot of GM's current performance standing and its little sibling so enraptured me that I went out and bought one, their existence is fleeting. Corvette will live on; forced-induction Cadillac sport sedans, not so much. So while all three are amazing machines when viewed in a vacuum, the Corvette stands above them as both a reflection of GM's current performance credentials and a signpost of what is to come. So, given the choice between the C8 and the 5V-Blackwing right now, I'd choose the C8. In 10 years, when the Blackwing is no longer in production and Corvette is in its 9th generation? Well, that might be a different story. Now, just pretend I said something even remotely that coherent when we get to the part of the video where I try to make an argument for the 5-V Blackwing as best GM car I've ever driven. Or just laugh at me while I ramble incoherently.

Nicolas Cage flogs Saab-based Senova from Beijing Auto [w/video]

Mon, 13 May 2013

BAIC 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.
