Very rare (100 brought in to U.S.) 1997 Saab 900 SE 2.0 Turbo Convertible in Monte Carlo Yellow. This car is virtually flawless. Everything works perfectly, it runs and looks new. It has brand new Michelin tires, Bilstein HP shocks and struts, new brakes. It has been run on Mobil 1 synthetic oil since new. All fluids just changed, including synthetic transmission oil. Power steering, brake fluid, and coolant flushed. I had a Taliafiarro 6 point subframe brace installed to help stiffen the body and prevent body roll. I also added Flowmaster dual exhaust tips, polished 301 stainless steel with rolled tips. The convertible top is also like new, goes up and down perfectly and without hesitation or noise. Top treated with RaggTop conditioner regularly. Interior is black leather. I intended to keep this car for good, which is why I went completely through it, but circumstances have changed, and I need a big car, likely a Saab 9-5 or Saab Combi. (If you have a big car you might like to trade, send me an e-mail. European cars preferred, but might consider something else if it's big, and well-maintained) It has been cared for meticulously, and it shows. The Saab convertibles in Monte Carlo Yellow are extremely rare, and becoming very collectible. The value on them has been rising steadily. (NADA doesn't take note of color and submodels like Talladega etc., so the NADA value is not an accurate guide for certain models/colors such as this one) The car draws attention and raves everywhere it goes, people just love it! It has the original Saab AM-FM-Weather Band-Cassette-CD player with amplifiers and 6 disc CD changer. I replaced the speakers as it had the original speakers. They sounded OK, but were getting tired, so I replaced all of them. The sound is really good. The spoke type wheels currently on the car are from a late model Saab 9-3, but it will also come with the original 3 point Saab wheels shown in some of the photos. Also included are 3 functional remotes. If you're looking for a well-built car that is an attention-getter, fun to drive, needs absolutely nothing, and will become more valuable over time, this one may be for you.

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.

Spyker files $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors over Saab's demise

Mon, 06 Aug 2012

"Smack." That's the sound of Spyker's process server dropping a big ol' pile of legal documents on the doorstep of The Renaissance Center, home of General Motors - or wherever GM's attorneys live during business hours. Contained therein is a Complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and demanding a jury trial, that seeks $3 billion in damages due to "the unlawful actions GM took to avoid competition with Saab Automobile in the Chinese market." Spyker accuses GM of "tortiously interfering" with Saab's business relationship with Chinese automaker Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile (Youngman), actions that Spyker CEO Victor Muller (above) said "deliberately drove Saab Automobile into bankruptcy."
(From Wikipedia: "Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships.")
The interference in question specifically refers to the very last potential deal, called the Framework Agreement, that Spyker worked out with Youngman. With lots of GM engineering embedded into the 9-4X and 9-5, The General had the right to approve any Saab partnership that would involve the transfer of GM intellectual property. Spyker had been rebuffed over every previous deal with a Chinese firm, including two bids by Youngman, due to GM concerns over its IP getting into Chinese hands and having to face Chinese-market competitors using its technology. The Complaint alleges that the Framework Agreement would have put a firewall around all GM IP - Youngman would only work on Saab's Phoenix platform, said to be just about free of GM tech, and would have no access to 9-3, 9-4X or 9-5 technology until after Saab ceased all ties to GM.

Vampire Weekend singer responds to burning Saab controversy [w/video]

Fri, 29 Mar 2013

Last week, we tipped you off about Vampire Weekend and their new music video for the song Diane Young, a short film that consists entirely of setting fire to two perfectly nice-looking Saab 900 automobiles. The indie rock band's video - viewable by scrolling down - predictably triggered the internet ire of classic car enthusiasts - Saabophiles in particular - and word of the unrest eventually got back to the band itself.
According to music site Spinner (nb: owned by Autoblog parent AOL), the group was "stunned" at the backlash - enough that lead singer Ezra Koenig felt compelled to respond himself. According to Koenig, the band was under the impression that their record company was "looking to purchase the cheapest, oldest cars possible; they weren't trying to buy a beautiful perfect condition car." By way of apology, Koenig even goes so far as to note that bandmate Rostam Batmanglij is a keen fan of Saab.
Other reports have claimed that the cars may have been purchased under false pretenses, sold by owners who "wanted to see them go to a nice new home," but Koenig takes issue with that characterization, countering that he understood that the cars had substantial electrical problems.
