CONS:
- small drops of oil getting out of an engine - normality as for Saabs - still waiting for a result after adding one of STOP LEAK solutions
- dirty engine - I didn't wash it to avoid any further problems - meaningless, for the fact it is covered with significant mist of dust, it doesn't affect anything
- interior lights don't work when set to 1 - open door position; 2 - all 3 work perfectly (including rear map lights)

- few nail-size rusty spots
- paint and filler cracked over the fueling cap - got to be fixed
- steering rack got to be replaced - $130 + labor $250-300 - depending on a state - it has a leak, however, it doesn't leak the way it could affect steering pump
- front 10 inches of headliner faded due to sun beams when top was stored down
- grill got crack on it
- front passenger seat got small hole in it - insignificant
- few scratches around internal vehicle area
- cruise control acts sometimes - if you set speed, it starts to accelerate anyway after 2-3 seconds - In my opinion it is sth with cc valve, got no time to check it
- AC needs to be filled - it is convertible, I was not using it
- trunk lid needs new paint - didn't bother me at all
- driver's front turn signal has few cracked out small pieces

- barely used OEM jack
- barely used extra wheel
- two CHROME door handles - perfect condition - just in case if you wanted to brighten the outlook
- brand new air filter - it has already new one inside, this one is just a spare one
- OEM tire changing mud matt - stay clean changing your tire on a dirty road
- OEM Clarion stereo set - works just beautifully
This is pretty much all I wanted to share with you about my Saab. If I forgot about something, I will add it shortly, but I am pretty sure that it was all. If you have any questions or doubts concerning this listing, don't hesitate to ask, I will be more than glad to assist you. 99% of all the things that have been done around the car were done by me. I own other Saab 900i which I also put a lot of effort in to make it work and look as it deserved for it. I got to sell this one, because I am leaving US soon for longer period of time and I need that money. It doesn't mean I will sell it for symbolic penny. I put my heart, time, blood (haha) and money into that 900 as I love Saabs. I made everything around the car AS FOR ME. Not to sell it, not to trade it, everything was made with great doze of patience, research and attention. Plus, don't forget about the trunk photo - lots of extras.
WITHIN FEW DAYS YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE AND CHECK THE CAR IN STAMFORD, CT
I will not ship it. If you decide to buy it, you will have to come and pick it up in STAMFORD, CT.
I was allowed to add up to 24 pictures. I got folder with 150 of them. If you want to see the rest of the photos, just let me know, I will send them to you right away.
Happy Bidding and Keep Saabing! : )

Saab begins 9-3 EV pilot production
Thu, 10 Apr 2014To say that Saab has had a tough time lately would be like saying that it's been a little colder than usual this winter. After General Motors finally gave up and sold it to Spyker in 2010, Saab declared bankruptcy the following year. GM successfully blocked Spyker from selling Saab to Chinese automaker Youngman the following year, but ultimately it ended up in the hands of another Chinese consortium called NEVS. Standing as it does for National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the new owners promised not only to restart production of the long-suffering 9-3, but also to turn it into an electric vehicle. And that's just what it's doing.
The latest news coming out of Sweden indicates that NEVS/Saab has started building the first examples of the 9-3 EV. These first 200 or so examples are set to be shipped off to Qingdao - the Chinese city that is home to the Tsingtao brewery, hosted the sailing components of the 2008 summer games on Beijing, was supposed to host an IndyCar race in 2012 before it was canceled, and also itself just happens to own 22 percent of NEVS.
These first EVs have their batteries mounted down low in the chassis for a low center of gravity and have a range of about 20 miles on a full charge. That's absolutely paltry compared to the other EVs on the market: a Nissan Leaf will travel more than four times that distance, and a Tesla Model S will go ten times farther on a charge.
GM recalls over 230,000 more Trailblazer-family SUVs over door electronics
Sun, 16 Jun 2013Back in August, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a recall on the General Motors GMT360 SUVs (Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X) ranging from the 2005 to 2007 model years and the 2006 GMT370 SUVs (Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL) due to potential fires associated with the driver's door module. Initially limited to 250,000 units sold or registered in 20 Snow Belt states (and the District of Columbia), the recall has now been expanded to include an additional 193,000 of these SUVs in the US and, according to The Detroit News, 40,000 more sold outside the US, including Canada and Mexico.
Like the original recall, the issue is still a faulty driver's door module that can short out, which could lead to a fire. The Detroit News is reporting that, out of the 443,000 units being recalled, GM says that there were 58 fires that caused 11 minor injuries, and the expanded recall accounted for six fires and one injury. Despite the lower number of fires, the recall notice recommends that owners park their vehicles until the recall repairs has been performed.
On recalled units with functional modules, the repair consists of a protective coating being applied to the module, while vehicles with modules that are not working properly will have the driver's door module replaced. The official recall notice is posted below, and it includes contact information for customers of all five brands.
Saab to reintroduce 9-3 SportCombi as Phoenix development continues
Sun, 27 Apr 2014The saga of Saab goes to show that you can't keep a good automaker down. Founded back in 1947 (the same year, incidentally, as Ferrari, TVR and Maserati defector OSCA), Saab split off from its aerospace division, merged with Scania trucks, was subsequently picked up by General Motors, then pawned off onto Spyker before its current Chinese owners brought it back out of bankruptcy. Now under the auspices of National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), Saab has official restarted production of the 9-3 sedan, but what are its plans for the future?
In correspondence with Autoblog, NEVS communications director Mikael Ostlund gave us an idea of what to expect. First of all, NEVS is living up to its name by launching an electric version of the 9-3. As we reported a couple of weeks ago, the 9-3 EV currently is undergoing a pilot launch in the Chinese city of Qingdao (which owns part of NEVS) before being rolled out in other markets around the world. But that's not all NEVS has planned for Saab.
The reborn Swedish automaker also plans to relaunch the 9-3 SportCombi to supplement the 9-3 sedan. The wagon version was part of the second-gen 9-3's rollout in the early 2000s, offering increased cargo space and versatility - particularly vital since GM had seen it fit to replace the previous hatchback bodystyle favored by the brand faithful with a more traditional trunked form to lure new buyers into the fold. Although Ostlund confirmed that NEVS has "the option of adding the convertible" back into the lineup, nut has yet to decide on if and when it will do so.
