Repairable Or For Parts 1999 Saab Turbo 9-5 Se Red 4-door 3.0 V6 - No Key on 2040-cars
Knoxville, Maryland, United States
|
This snazzy cayenne red mica painted Saab was donated to our small non-profit organization by its previous owner, for our use. It was not smoked in while in our possession, but I do not have smoking information from prior owners. I was able to find good service records at a dealership in Hagerstown, MD, where it was originally purchased. It had 114,000 miles on it when we got it, and we used it lightly (and with great pleasure!) until it needed some work on its Turbocharger. We parked it (at 117,951 miles) to do some fundraising for the Turbocharger repairs. In the meantime its key was destroyed in a small kitchen fire at the Center. SO WE DO NOT HAVE A KEY FOR THIS CAR!!! I have been told that without the key or the fob the car would need a new ignition "TWICE" module, married to a new key at a dealership, a complex but not impossible repair. So this is a repairable near-luxury car, or great parts car, which has now been sitting for 4 years. Among the Owner's Manual and other paperwork in the glove box (it's a refrigerated glove box... so, now that you know that, you REALLY MUST make a bid!!!) I found the original window sticker, with all the loaded features and extras listed. A picture of it is at the end of the batch of pictures. You will need to bring a tilt-deck tow-truck to pick up this car in Knoxville, MD 21758 (across the river and very near to Harper's Ferry, WV.) Deposit is through PayPal. Payment must be received within 2 days of the end of the auction. Title will be provided at pick-up, and upon completed payment. Arrangements for pick-up and title exchange will be made post-sale, to be mutually agreeable, mutually convenient, and within a reasonable time. Please feel free contact me to ask questions. Questions and information from other eBayers are attached to this listing, with opinions and information about the lost key issue. THANK YOU for looking! |

NEVS mulling electric Saab 9-3 convertible, looking for engine partners, too
Wed, 14 Nov 2012Do you believe in reincarnation? Like how we hope that, maybe, all of our hard work as auto writers will result in an eventual return as a swarm of beautiful butterflies. If you are a Saab fan, the equivalent could be this bit of news: The 9-3 Convertible may rise again, as an electric vehicle.
Word comes from the Dutch version of Autoweek that Chinese entity National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) has indicated that it will bring an electric version of the 9-3 Convertible to market in the next 18 months. The EV droptop would first debut in the Chinese market, but could expand, as could the lineup to other 9-3 variants, such as the sedan and SportCombi. A NEVS spokesperson has stated, "NEVS basically no doors holds." We're not sure if that's the spokesperson or the translation from the Dutch report, but you get the gist.
NEVS also indicated that conventionally powered versions of the 9-3 could be produced as well. The internal combustion engines could be the originally intended General Motors engines. Regardless of powerplant, we would be very eager to see Saab return, potentially as an EV to boot!
NEVS to build new Saab models in China's Qingdao
Thu, 10 Jan 2013National Electric Vehicle Sweden has officially signed a deal with Qingdao Qingbo Investment Company that will see the NEVS build EVs in Qingdao, China. The move is the first step on the road toward eventually selling vehicles in China. Reuters reports that the Chinese company has agreed to invest $307.33 million, after which point Qingdao Qingbo will receive 22 percent of the NEVS shares. Currently, there's no word on exactly when the funds and shares will change hands, but the Swedish automaker has previously said it fully intends to launch its first EV by early 2014.
NEVS has also made waves about potentially building a version of the old Saab 9-3 with a traditional internal combustion driveline. Currently, the manufacturer says it plans to ship the vehicles it builds in Sweden to the Qingdao port and distribute them to the rest of China from there. Later down the line, a manufacturing facility in Qingdao will supply the country with Chinese-built Saab models.
GM SUV window switch recall urges owners to park vehicles outside
Thu, 07 Aug 2014It's not unusual for there to be a lag between an automaker announcing a recall and the official documentation showing up on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website. So it's no surprise that a recent GM campaign took about a month to appear in its official capacity. However, there appears to be some big differences between the two reports with potential safety implications.
In late June, GM announced that it needed to recall 181,984 examples of the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Buick Rainier, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7x from the 2005-2007 model years, plus the 2006 Chevy Trailblazer EXT and 2006 GMC Envoy XL. The new documents paint a slightly different picture with 184,611 needing repaired and different model years listed.
The reason for the fix is still the same, though. It's possible for fluid to contact the master power window switch module in the driver's door, which can corrode the part. Eventually this could cause a short circuit, leaving the buttons inoperable and potentially leading to a fire. But the new NHTSA documents add an important note: "A fire could occur even while the vehicle is not in use. As a precaution, owners are advised to park outside until the remedy has been made."
