1991 SAAB 900 CONVERTIBLE COUPE

I bought the car about 6 years ago.  The car was last registered in 2009.  I have kept the car covered with a car cover, in a covered carport, until about two months ago, when I moved it to its current location.  I was going to restore the car and give it to my wife, but both she and I have been sick, so I never got around to working on it. 

The car runs well but it is not perfect.  Please see, “PROBLEMS,”  below.

I do not see colors well, but I believe that the color in the pictures is less gold/champagne than the car actually is.

The car has an automatic transmission.

This car is not a turbo. 

When I bought the SAAB, (about 6 years ago), the previous owner told me that the top was new, and that it had not been involved in any accidents.  I believe that the previous owner replaced the original radio with an upgraded radio, but I am not certain of this.

After buying the car, I had the car professionally painted. The remaining repairs seemed to me to be cosmetic and/or minor, with the exception of the transmission, which is slightly slipping.  I do not know how to repair that or what is needed to repair it.

I have not been involved in any accidents in the car.  Other than the prior owner telling me that the car had not been in any accidents prior to my purchase, I do not know if the car was in any accidents prior to my purchasing it.

The engine seems fine.  It is not leaking or burning oil.  The car runs well and seems to have a lot of power.  The engine seems fairly quiet.  I guarantee that the engine will pass a smog test. 

I am not aware of any electrical problems.

The suspension seems good to me.

The wheels are real, (not hub-caps).

I have not seen any rust or dry-rot.

I am providing clear title to the vehicle.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEMS: 

INTERIOR:  There are cosmetic issues on the interior, and I have shown some, but not all, of those issues in the pictures.  The issue includes rips, tears, curling, and missing pieces(s).  There are several narrow cracks in the top of the dashboard.  Pieces of the burl wood type cover on the dash are torn or missing.

CONVERTIBLE TOP:  When I bought the car, the previous owner told me that the top had just been replaced.  I later noticed that there was a piece of tape at the bottom of the rear window.  I do not know why and I have left it there.  I also noticed that one seam has opened a bit.  You can see the tape and the seam in the pictures.

TRANSMISSION:  The transmission is slightly slipping. 


TIRES and WHEELS:  A wheel alignment is needed.  The front passenger side tire should be replaced immediately

OTHER PROBLEMS:  There may be other problems that I do not know about, and there are likely other rips, chips, and tears on the interior, but I have put the problems that I know about in this auction information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


The car is located in the Valley Glen area, (formerly a part of Van Nuys), of the San Fernando Valley, in Los Angeles, California:

If you are in the Southern California area:  You are welcome to come and see the car.  Please e-mail me to set-up a date and time.

If you are out of the area and want to transport the car:  If you purchase the car and want to arrange for the transportation, I will cooperate with the transport company to get the car to you, but you will have to pay for the transportation and you will be responsible for the car while it is in the process of being transported.  The car does not have current tags, so I cannot drive it on the street.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other than guaranteeing that the car will pass a smog test, the car is Sold AS-IS WHERE-IS.  No warranty and/or guarantees of any kind, (other than passing a smog test).  Car is running.  The car is not smoking or leaking.  Clear CA title on-hand.

I will accept a bank checks, personal checks, cash, and/or Pay-Pal.

Title and possession will not pass until after full payment has cleared.  Title and possesion will pass at the time the car is picked-up.

A $500 deposit must be paid within 24 hours of winning this auction. 

The car must be picked-up within 10 days of full payment clearing. 

If the car is not picked-up within 10 days of full payment clearing, commencing on the 11th day after full payment has cleared, I will charge $10 a day storage for each of the next 30 days.  Storage charges must be paid prior to title and possession passing to buyer.

If the car is not picked-up within 40 days of full payment clearing, then I will return any monies that I have received over the $500 deposit and the $300 for storage, and I will sell the car to someone else.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE CONACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEFORE YOU BUY THIS CAR.

IF YOU WANT A PICTURE OF A PARTICULAR AREA, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, AND I WILL TAKE THE PICTURE AND POST IT TO THIS E-BAY AUCTION.

Thank you.

The Saab 9-3 that never was finally shows up

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

Looking back on the life and [slow and painful] death of Saab, it's impossible to not stop and think of what might have been with the quirky Swedish automaker. As it turns out, SaabsUnited has decided to shed some light on what the company's future might have looked like, including some images and information that include full-scale mockups of the 9-3 Phoenix, which you see above.
In its waning years, Saab's lead designer Jason Castriota was working feverishly to deliver new products that built on the heritage of the brand while doing so at a lower cost and in a shorter time period than previous models. In the end, though, it sounds like the earliest that we could have seen any of these plans come to fruition was 2014. In addition to hatchback and convertible 9-3 variants, Castriota also created the Sonnett - a sporty-looking 2+2 that never made it past the design study phase.
Regardless of whether you're a diehard fan of the brand or if you were just pulling for the underdog, you'll want to head on over to SaabsUnited to check out a little more of what the future could have held for Saab.

New owners still struggling to secure rights to use Saab name

Wed, 27 Jun 2012

Not to state the obvious, but if you're going to buy an automaker, it's probably advisable to secure rights to use the name.
That's what the new owners of Saab are trying to work out after buying the iconic Swedish automaker earlier this month, Automotive News reports.
National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), the Chinese-Japanese conglomerate, acquired the company's physical assets, including its factory in Trollhättan, but didn't get rights to use the Saab name and logo. Truckmaker Scania and defense company Saab AB maintain the name and logo rights, and will need to sign off on NEVS using it, according to the publication. The parties are in discussions.

Vampire Weekend burns for Saab

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Or is it the other way around?
Could Vampire Weekend be trying to tell me something? A just-launched music video for the indie rock band's new single Diane Young features what looks like a pretty mint black Saab 900 Turbo Convertible being torched in slow-motion. In fact, with the exception of a brief, flickering cameo by a 900 three-door of a similar vintage, that's all that there is to the nearly three-minute long video. It's both sad and oddly beautiful.
Coincidentally, I have a similar-looking turbocharged black Saab convertible sitting in my garage, and I've been reluctantly pondering its sale this very week. Admittedly, mine is a later model (2001 9-3 Viggen), but tri-spokes and more tapered rump aside, it looks eerily identical. And while mine isn't mired in flames (I love it too much to torch it), through no fault of its own, it's been sitting motionless far too regularly. Thankfully, I see a better future for it than the droptop seen above.
