I have no idea how long this has persisted - the previous owner described it rolling double miles as well. THIS WOULD EXPLAIN THE LOW AUTOCHECK SCORE - which I always take with a grain of salt!! I would much rather have a car that has recently had over $5,000.00 of FULLY DOCUMENTED REPAIRS!!!
I HAVE ALL RECEIPTS!!!
AUTOCHECK DOES SHOW NO ACCIDENTS!!
I am 47 years old and have owned over 20 of these classic 900 convertibles!!!!! My first was a 1983 TURBO in 1986 in college..... boy was I cutting edge!! I have owned my 2002 VIGGEN CONVERTIBLE FOR THE LAST DECADE AS MY DAILY DRIVER! (230hp and 32mpg highway). I LIVED IN EUROPE FOR 15 YEARS. I OWNED MY 2 FERRARI 348 SPIDERS AND HUMMER 1 CONVERTIBLES FOR 5 YEARS EACH! I HAVE 5 CHILDREN 4,6,8,10,12 WHICH KEEP ME VERY BUSY - I LOVE TO WORK ON EUROPEAN CARS AS A HOBBY TO SPEND PERSONAL TIME IN THE GARAGE TO KEEP MY SANITY!!!!! OUR MERCEDES 2000 ML55 NOT PICTURED IS THE AMG 7 SEAT FAMILY CAR for the last 10yrs. I HAVE A PASSION FOR GREAT CARS AT GREAT PRICES, Unfortunately I paid the entire $70,000 for the ML55!! BUT FERRARI'S AT 60K OR SAAB'S AT UNDER 7K are much better buys. This 1990 WAS $33,000 NEW and still N.A.D.A. books at $8,850 or even $6,275 at average retail.
THIS IS NOT AN AVERAGE EXAMPLE!!!!!
NOW THE STORY ON THIS FANTASTIC
214H - CHERRY RED 1990 TURBO CONVERTIBLE!!
I LOVE TO FLY OUT, BUY CARS AND MAKE A ROAD TRIP ESCAPE OF IT! AGAIN, A SANITY ISSUE AFTER TRAVELING THE WORLD FOR 17 YEARS!!! (IN THIS CASE 2,700 MILES FROM PHILADELPHIA, PA TO UTAH). THE PICTURES ARE AT THE WASHINGTON D.C. TEMPLE (TO VISIT INSIDE WAS THE UNDERLYING PURPOSE OF THIS VISIT) OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS AND JUST OUTSIDE OF VAIL, COLORADO. A GREAT JANUARY 600 MILES OF IT IN EAST COAST BLIZZARD CONDITIONS DRIVE!!
NOW TO THE SPECIFICS OF THIS GREAT VEHICLE!!
IT HAS CURRENT PA EMISSIONS AND INSPECTIONS STICKERS VALID END 4/13. THE PREVIOUS OWNER DID A LEAK DOWN PRESSURE TEST AND HAD FANTASTIC COMPRESSION ACROSS ALL 4 CYLINDERS 195-205PSI.

GAS MILEAGE WAS 28-29mpg AT TIMES AND ABOUT 25mpg WHEN DOING 90-100MPH.
THE PREVIOUS OWNERS USED 10W40 MOBIL ONE FULL SYNTHETIC OIL BOSCH OIL FILTER AND IT WAS CHANGED RIGHT BEFORE I DROVE THE 2,700 MILES HOME. IT WAS CHANGED LAST WEEK WITH THE SAME 10W40 MOBIL ONE FULL SYNTHETIC!!!!

WINDSHIELD WIPERS WORK ON ALL SPEEDS, squirters stopped working on trip home, I KNOW the LITTLE pump works, could be that the control arm on steering column is the culprit? The antenna ONLY raises and lowers by hand BUT WORKS PERFECTLY! The 2 front seats move manually and ARE NOT ELECTRIC! The extra modules on the dash are NOT my personal favorite - I LOVE FACTORY ORIGINAL - BUT can be removed easily! They are completely functional and give air/fuel mixture readings, voltage metering and PSI turbo boost readings.
PLEASE NOTICE THE EXTREMELY CLEAN UNDER CARRIAGE! NO RUST!
After the car has been sitting for a while, there are small drops of engine oil and power steering fluid - very reminiscent of my 35yr old Harley Davidson. Cosmetic - NO NEED to check fluid levels as there is NO OIL USAGE OR BURNING while driving!!! THAT SHOULD BE EVERYTHING!!

Petrolicious keeps our love of the Saab Sonett aflame
Wed, 19 Mar 2014German auto designs lean toward function and purpose. Italian designers deliver passion and beauty. The Brits, majesty. American cars, brashness and authority. If you want a funky design, though, you go to Sweden. The land of cheap, do-it-yourself furniture and delicious meatballs knows a thing or six about style and design, and while that character is only now reemerging thanks to a certain string of Volvo concepts, it use to be that Saab was the authority on penning some of the industry's more unique designs.
Take the beautiful Sonett for example - a small coupe whose appearance is a funky mishmash of a Porsche 911 and a Bugeyed Sprite with just a hint of a Citroën DS (it's that convex rear window). It's a positively striking car, made more unique by its two-stroke, three-cylinder powertrain and four-on-the-tree manual transmission. With just 70 horsepower hauling about 1,500 pounds of Swedish style, the Sonett strikes us as an ideal alternative to some of the English sports cars of its day, particularly for those that are looking for something beyond your average MG or Triumph.
For Glenn Roberts, the Sonett was a part of his childhood. His family owned example was originally a special-order item by his parents in 1967. He bought the car from them 13 years later and has never looked back, completing a restoration in 2004. With a story like that, it's not surprising that Roberts and his silver Sonett are the most recent pairing to get some attention from Petrolicious.
Grainy leaked images show stillborn Castriota-designed Saab 9-3
Mon, 04 Feb 2013The Saab faithful are going to be playing the "what if" game for years to come. It's one of the burdens of being a fan of a dead brand. A fresh batch of grainy 9-3 Phoenix images have made their way online, alleged shots of a design proposal penned by none other than Jason Castriota. The five-door looks to feature an honest liftback, though SaabsUnited.com says this particular vehicle was drawn up as part of a business plan in early 2011. As such, Castriota apparently told the site the final product was to look much more athletic than what we see here. While the low-resolution images make it difficult to tell much about the design, we certainly appreciate the familiar roofline, full band taillamps and the contrasting rear spoiler reminiscent of the old Saab 99 and 900 ducktails.
Unfortunately, we know all too well why this creation never saw the light of day. Would-be savior Victor Muller couldn't quite pull Saab out of its nosedive, and the company fell into bankruptcy before the 9-3 Phoenix could get off the ground. There's talk of the Phoenix platform and Saab brand having new life in other markets as EVs and even as gas cars, but the model seen here will likely never see production - let alone North American showrooms.

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.
