1991 Saab 900 S Convertible 2-door 2.1l (classic) on 2040-cars

US $3,300.00
Year:1991 Mileage:122569
Location:

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.

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

+ 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. 

+ No electrical problems
+ Wheels are real, (not hub-caps).
+ No rust or dry-rot.
+ Clear title

PROBLEMS:  

Interior cosmetic - I have shown some, but not all, of those issues in the pictures.  The issue includes rips, tears, curling, and missing pieces(s). 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 -  Previous owner told me that the top had just been replaced.  Later noticed that there was a piece of tape at the bottom of the rear window.  Dont 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. Electronics work great! 

Transmission:  The transmission is slightly slipping. 
When you put the car in reverse, the transmission slips.  Also, when the car rapidly goes into overdrive, there is slipping.  I have noticed that, if I remove the guide for the shift lever, there is less slipping.  Also, I did not notice any slipping during normal forward driving. 

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

AC: Does not work, not sure. I think it blows hot air.

Trunk lock: Can be opened electronically only. Key is stuck inside.

Seat belts: 
 The piece that the seatbelts plug into does not hold the seatbelts, and the covers for those pieces are both falling off.

Spoler: 
 The passenger side spoiler is currently inside of the car.  It has big crack in it, but is still in one piece.

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


ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Tire Size:  Michellin 215/45 ZR 16 86Y

Battery:  I had to charge the battery when I moved the car to its new location.  The battery held the charge and started the car.  Other than that, I do not know the status of the battery.

Saab's Victor Muller wanted to nix Griffin, return to airplane emblem

Tue, 09 Oct 2012

According to Just-Auto.com Victor Muller wasn't a fan of the Saab Griffin logo. The executive was quoted as saying he wanted to "abolish" the Griffin logo and return to the airplane emblem. Muller made it clear that if he'd had his way, the propeller would have replaced the Griffin across the Saab lineup long ago.
National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the company that recently bought Saab, was forced to abandon the Griffin logo due to the fact that the emblem is still used by truck manufacturer Scania. The manufacturer is reportedly concerned about potential Chinese counterfeiting - NEVS is owned by Youngman, a Chinese automaker - though it's unclear how that relationship would lead to illegal copies.
Either way, NEVS has said the loss of the Griffin logo isn't that important to the company so long as it can continue to build on the Saab name. Muller, meanwhile, said he wishes NEVS luck in the company's electric-vehicle endeavor, but that he doesn't understand its new business model.

Deal brokered to get Saab warranty service honored at GM dealers

Mon, 24 Dec 2012

When Pontiac, Hummer and Saturn were killed off, at least current owners never had to question where they would have to take their vehicle in case it needed to be serviced. The same couldn't be said for Saab owners... until now. General Motors and Saab Automobile Parts North America (the remaining entity of the bankrupted automaker) have signed an agreement that provides 179 service centers to current Saab owners to receive factory-trained technicians and official Saab replacement parts.
These warranty service providers will have all the tools, training and parts to maintain and repair Saab vehicles, and they will also have access to a technical assistance center for the technicians. Next year, SPNA will also set up a customer assistance center, which will likely be most useful in helping current owners find repair shows, as well as a program called Saab Secure to give added service support to owners of late model (2010 and 2011 model year) Saab vehicles. Finally, to make sure customers have a sufficient parts supply to keep their cars on the road, SPNA operates out of a 153,000 square foot warehouse in Michigan that has the ability to ship more than 3,000 parts orders per day.
GM's official press release on the agreement is posted after the jump.

Saab owners NEVS denied creditor protection by Swedish court

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

The story of Saab is practically a Greek tragedy at this point. The quirky Swedish automaker that was once known as a pioneer of affordable turbocharging has been followed by years of news that just seemed to keep getting worse. At this point, maybe the brand name should be allowed to fade away into the ether and be remembered for the good times that it gave us.
Saab's latest predicament is that its parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden (or NEVS) has been denied protection from its creditors by the Swedish courts. According to Reuters, the judges called the business' financing plan "vague and completely undocumented." A company spokesperson told Reuters that it plans to appeal.
Seemingly in reaction to the court's decision, NEVS posted a press release on its website announcing that the company had applied "for a reorganization to create more time for the ongoing negotiations." The automaker continues to claim that it's negotiating with two global automakers to sell a portion of the company, possibly Mahindra, but the process is taking longer than it originally predicted. It seems a distinct possibility that this reorganization attempt is simply a way to buy extra time.
