1991 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible 5spd Manual on 2040-cars

Year:1991 Mileage:95000
Location:

1991 900 turbo-  

I am second owner of this car, the first owner was a eye surgeon and used as a summer only car.  it has never seen winter.   I have had it for 6 years and only use it as a Sunday driver.  I store it in a barn every winter.   I put new tires, alternator and clutch slave and master cylinder as well as a new battery last year.  The AC worked when I bought, it does not turn on now, I was told its a 100 dollar hose that failed and leaked the Freon, I did not repair as I only use this car with top down.   The odometer is intermittent since a few years ago.  it reads 77k, however I would say the car has 95k or less.  It is a typical Saab..  it has some minor oil leaks, and is as quirky as any of these cars are.  The body and undercarriage are about as good as it gets for these..  0 rust or dents  there is a a bit of clear coat failure on the trunk lid from me leaving a rag that was soaked in brake fluid on it overnight..  brake fluid eats paint..    the top is perfect shape and works fine.  I am a saab enthusiast and would prefer this car to go to a saab minded person.  thanks for looking.

3 former Saab execs charged with tax evasion

Mon, 20 May 2013

The Associated Press reports three former Saab executives have been arrested on charges of accounting fraud. Swedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren has refused to identify the individuals, but says they're suspected of attempting to evade taxes by falsifying Saab accounts between 2010 and 2011 during the Spyker years. Other reports indicate the parties involved include former General Counsel to Saab Kristina Geers (seen to the left of former CEO Victor Muller, above), a 15-year-veteran of the company - her husband, Eric, was the company's communications director for 9 years as well.
Saab filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and was purchased shortly thereafter by National Electric Vehicle Sweden. If convicted, the trio could face up to four years in prison for their crimes under Swedish law.

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.

NEVS' reorganization plan approved after all?

Fri, 29 Aug 2014

What a difference a day makes. Thursday, we reported that current Saab parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden had its application for creditor protection denied by the Swedish court for being "vague and completely undocumented." But NEVS was back in court on Friday, and this time the application was granted. However, the story continued to get weirder as defense contractor Saab AB allegedly revoked NEVS' rights to use the Saab name.
NEVS did put out a brief press release confirming the court decision saying: "The District court of Vänersborg, Sweden, today August 29 approved the application for reorganization from National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB." The company allegedly has over 90 creditors, and according to Reuters, it owes them roughly 400 million Swedish krona ($57.56 million). The business says that it is in negotiations with two, unnamed companies to get additional funding.
Also, according to Reuters, Saab AB, best known for making fighter planes, has revoked NEVS' rights to the Saab brand name because the company's application for creditor protection gave the defense contractor that right. When NEVS bought Saab, it only acquired the automaker's physical assets, and had to negotiate for the rights to use the name.
