This Saab enthusiast owned Classic 900 has been a Britalia Motorworks shop car for the past 6 years. We're sad to see it go, but with recent automotive acquisitions, we're out of space! As with any car we sell, this Saab has been gone through front to back to ensure that all maintenance and systems are at 100%. It has a brand new OE quality Bosal exhaust from the catalytic converter back. We've just rebuilt the front end with all new ball joints and tie rod ends, using OE quality cast parts, not the cheap stamped steel ones. Driver's outer CV joint is new, again with an OE part, and all CV boots are new. We have just replaced the steering rack boots, replaced steering column bushings and topped all that off with a 4 wheel alignment. The engine has just received a tune up with quality Bosch ignition parts and NGK spark plugs. Oil and filter have just been changed, as well as air filter. The crankshaft vibration damper is new, as well as the A/C idler pulley, and all new quality Gates belts installed for alternator, power steering and A/C. The ABS accumulator was also just replaced. Runs out perfectly, transmission shifts great, turbo spools up like it should, uses zero oil between changes.
In the past year, the car has received a new starter, battery cables, plug wires, brake pads and transmission fluid and filter. Detecting a trend? We're obsessive about maintenance, and use quality parts. The Fuzion HRI tires are a few years old, and about 50% tread. With the exception of the cruise control, this is an "everything works" car. Power seats, mirrors, windows, heated rear window, every bulb in the dash, you name it. Even the original factory alarm and remote fob works. The A/C blows cold and the sight glass is clear. It's still charged with R12, but Saab was smart enough to use barrier hoses on the A/C system, so it doesn't seep refrigerant. The car was painted and a new top installed by the last Saab enthusiast owner. The top is in great shape, the hydraulics work perfectly and the body is straight. The factory 3 piece hard top boot is in the original bag in the trunk, and is perfect. The paint job was a mid-grade job, and now we're seeing a couple of pencil eraser sized spots on the trunk lid where the clear coat is separating, and more extensive separation on the hood. There is a little rust bubbling around the passenger front wheel arch. We figure a drain hole must have gotten plugged at some point, as it's the only rust on the car. The floors are perfect. See the detail photos for the body flaws. Like every other Classic 900 we've seen, the top of the dash has some cracks. We've used Leatherique through the years to keep the leather supple, but the drivers seat does have some seam separation and bolster wear. Again, see the photos. The car has an aftermarket Sony CD player we installed, playing through stock speakers. With a driver's side airbag, ABS, A/C, fuel injection etc, this little Saab is the perfect example of a daily driver collectable car. It's modern enough and efficient enough to use every day, but if properly maintained will only appreciate in value. People make admiring comments about it all the time. We've put several thousand dollars worth of parts and labor into this car, and it's ready for the next owner to address the easy cosmetic issues, or simply drive as is and enjoy. We'll happily answer any questions, and welcome a pre-purchase inspection by the mechanic of your choice. We have a recent Carfax print out we'd be happy to fax or email. We've included lots of pictures so you can see exactly what you're getting. A winning bid is a legal obligation to purchase, not an opportunity to inspect and then decide, so be sure before you bid. We've sold many cars on eBay, and have a 100% rating for a reason. Terms are a $500 deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of a winning bid, and full payment and receipt of vehicle within 7 days. Good luck! NOTE: After listing, we see that Autocheck is giving the car a low score as it is calculating 8 owners. If you look at the report you will see that 3 of the "owners" in Wilmington, NC have the same title number. We bought it out of NC, drove the car to Denver, CO which was home at the time, then brought it to VA when we moved. We count 4 owners. It's not really all that important given all the work on the car, but still, it's important that you have accurate information. |

Former Saab chairman Muller faces summons in tax inquiry
Thu, 23 May 2013Former Saab Chairman Victor Muller may be called in for questioning as part of an official inquiry into suspected tax evasion by three of the automaker's former executives. A prosecutor has officially named former CEO Jan-Ake Jonsson and two other executives in the investigation, and official court documents say that Muller will be called in by the Financial Crimes Unit. According to Reuters, prosecutors are currently looking into allegations that the executives worked to dodge taxes between 2010 and 2011, when the automaker finally went into bankruptcy.
The Truth About Cars reports the investigation may center around the $540,000 paid as consulting fees to Latin America Tug Holding NV, a company Muller owns. It's possible that the Swedish authorities believe the Saab executives were using the tug boat company as a tax haven, and that the automaker should have paid taxes and social security contributions on the money. Muller has not been charged.
Meanwhile, Muller is defending his earnings in a new interview with Automotive News. Having come under fire for his $773,000 salary at Saab, the Spyker CEO said his pay was commensurate with an executive running a company with 4,000 employees.
Koenigsegg super cars team with Saab successor NEVS to go electric
Wed, Jan 30 2019STOCKHOLM — The Chinese-backed company born from the remnants of bankrupt Swedish automaker Saab is investing 150 million euros ($171 million) in a venture with Swedish super car brand Koenigsegg, in a move that could see them develop new electric models. National Electric Vehicle Sweden AB (NEVS), in which China's Evergrande Health recently became the majority investor, said it would take a 65 percent stake in a new joint venture to "develop a product for new and untapped segments." Koenigsegg will hold the rest, and contribute intellectual property, technology licenses and product design. The deal deepens China's exposure to Swedish automakers, with Geely owning Volvo Cars and the largest investor in truckmaker AB Volvo, and another Chinese investor having created NEVS in 2012 after buying the core assets and IP rights of Saab Automobile following its demise. NEVS, which owns production bases in Trollhattan in Sweden and Tianjin in China and plans another in Shanghai, has been trying to establish itself as a pure electric automaker, but has yet to produce a car. Evergrande Health's $930 million cash infusion into NEVS, announced this month, was seen as a second lifeline, giving it funds to develop costly electric vehicles and access to new auto technologies, where Evergrande is expanding. The Chinese firm is a unit of property developer China Evergrande Group and is a former investor in U.S. electric vehicle developer Faraday Future. Tuesday's deal will give NEVS a 20 percent stake in Koenigsegg and could potentially pave the way for it to begin delivering products to the market, with its loose partnership with Didi Chuxing, China's Uber, yet to yield anything concrete. "Koenigsegg is an enticing company developing advanced cars with unique technology and with a customer base that is one of a kind. ... We have both competencies and facilities to support Koenigsegg on their journey forward," NEVS Chairman Kai Johan Jiang said. Koenigsegg, backed by U.S. and Norwegian investors, sought to buy Saab after its 2011 collapse but the deal never materialized. While the luxury brand has built a plug-in hybrid, it has yet to develop a fully electric vehicle. Tesla's sales success in recent years has shown that a market for luxury electric cars exists, pushing traditional carmakers including Volkswagen's Audi and Porsche, and Tata Motors' Jaguar to develop their own versions.
Dealership refunds student for broken Saab with bags of pennies
Fri, Jul 25 2014Every so often, we come across the story of someone trying to "stick it to the man" by paying a parking fine or speeding ticket in pennies or dimes. Never, though, have we heard of a business stooping to such cliched lengths. Enter Florida. Irena Mujakovic bought a 2003 Saab way back in January from Holiday Motors, in Jacksonville, FL. Shortly after the purchase, the transmission started acting up. She returned to the dealer and paid for the repair, and purchased a warranty for future issues. Total cost: $300. But then the trans crapped out not long after the initial repair, and Mujakovic was back at Holiday Motors. This is where things start going south. This second trip cost Mujakovic $400, with her warranty in hand. That's because the man that runs the dealer, Ed Di Miranda, neglected to mention that the warranty didn't cover labor costs. "The warranty did not cover labor and I failed to write that in and that was her loophole," Di Miranda told First Coast News. The young college student filed a complaint with the Florida DMV, who sided with her and ordered Holiday Motors to refund the money. Di Miranda and the dealership did just that, but when Mujakovic came to collect her refund, it was to a bag of pennies, with a few dollar bills sprinkled in for good measure. Di Miranda, doesn't seem to think he's done anything wrong, claiming that only about $85 was in change, while the rest was paper money. "I am doing what DMV asked me to do," Di Miranda said. "It is legal tender." Mujakovic has not collected her refund. Have a look below for the video news report. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.
