Clive, Iowa, United States
|
For sale is a 1988 Saab 9000 turbo automatic transmission, sunroof, power everything, heated seats. Rose quartz with oxbloox interior leather, even the dash is oxblood to match. It even has the original phone (obviously doesn't work, but perfect to make those red-light impressions for the people next to you, like you are calling back in time, or for those 80's inspired music videos...)
About the car: Full Option. Very clean inside and out. Transmission and brake issues. When accelerating from a stop the transmission slams into gear instead of a smooth shift, but when driving it shifts smooth. Only when accelerating from a stand still does it act up. 99% rust free!!!! The engine is running really good, revs and idles like its suppose to, turbo spools like it should. The good: New battery New radiator (saab) Newer distributor All mew vacuum hoses New spark plugs New timing chain, tensioner and guide (Saab) Good tires except one, needs 1 tire. Interior in great shape, no tears or rips in leather whatsoever New headliner New fuel pump and pre pump New turbo APC valve New turbo bypass valve (bosch newer style from porsche, stronger) New oil and air filters. Cleaned transmission filter. All headlight brackets are good! All lights work. All windows work and sunroof operates as it should. The bad: Needs transmission work ( still drives). The car still drives great, when at speed. It shift flawlessly during driving, however when at a stop or accelerating from a stop, it seems to not be in gear and only after pressing on the gas a bit, for a sec, it goes into gear and takes off. I believe it might be either a pressure issue, or the infamous governors. Needs brake pump replaced ( will provide a working one with the car) The abs light is on and the brake pedal is super stiff. Ac needs recharged but compressor is good A couple trim pieces broken ( rear left door window switch, side molding is about to start coming off on one side but not bad just need 3m double sided tape, fl door light is cracked, dome light needs to be pulled out, it is pushed in and not secured in place, but still works perfectly). Paint has a few dents a minor scratch Rear hatch needs new shocks. Sometimes the brake light switch acts up. when turning the car off the brake lights will stay on. Doesn't smoke, doesn't eat oil, doesn't sputter, compression tested all good, doesn't knock, no strange noises or secondary noises in the body when driving. Overall solid and one of the cleanest first gen 9000, definitely best condition for sale that I have seen in the Midwest region. Most of the Saabs in the Midwest die from rust..This is a rare opportunity to own a Saab in this nice of a cosmetic condition. This would be a great buy for a Saab collector or enthusiast like myself. Unfortunately I am running out of room and time with all my other Saabs. I hope this car finds a good home with a Saab guy or gal, as this car can bring another 10-15 years of care free enjoyment and admiration from fellow saab-o-philes. There is no rust on this vehicle at all!!! NO RUST ON THE OUTSIDE, INSIDE, OR BOTTOM OF VEHICLE! It has been garaged its whole life, even in my possession for the past year it has been only inside, never even seen rain! Need to make room for other projects. Have more than 1700 invested in the car with parts and labor. Please no spam or trades. Want cash for car. Clean title, no damage. Engine is perfectly running. I have receipts for parts and work done on the car in my possession. Comes with original paperwork, booklets and window sticker. deposit of 300 required 2 days after sale. I feel like i mentioned everything that I know about it. Feel free to contact me about any more info, specific pics, or questions you may have before bidding. The car comes with no warranty, as is. Come and test drive it! I can be reached by email or by phone at 1-515-770-2693 |

3 former Saab execs charged with tax evasion
Mon, 20 May 2013The 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.
Victor Muller to pay Sweden back taxes for Saab work
Thu, 03 Oct 2013Victor Muller, Saab's CEO from 2010 to 2011, has been ordered by the Swedish court to pay the back taxes he owes the country for his work at Saab, Autoweek and Volkskrant report. When he was the automaker's CEO he received a salary of about 8 million Swedish Krona ($1.25 million), which was recorded as a reward for consultancy work for a company in the US that Muller owns. The move allowed him to evade taxes for awhile, but the court has ordered him to pay taxes on his full salary.
Muller, who is also CEO of Spyker, and two other Saab executives were accused of accounting fraud in May, which took place in 2010 and 2011. According to reports, Muller maintains that he is not subject to taxes in Sweden.
Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Nordic countries are known for their beautiful fjords, blonde-haired populace and bitter cold for a good portion of the year. The hours spent indoors during the dark, cold season apparently gives a lot of time for some crazy brainstorming. Tire store chain Vianor is highlighting the Traktor Terror in a new video. If Ken Block is the master of Gymkhana, then these guys know all about Farmkhana in their custom, turbocharged tractor.
According to the YouTube description from Vianor, the tractor is a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier with an added roll cage, adjustable front suspension and extended frame. The engine is thoroughly Swedish, and it's based on a Volvo 940 Turbo with a Volvo 240 head and Volvo 740 intercooler. However, it uses a Saab turbo Prospark ignition and fuel system. All told, the setup is claimed to make 225 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
That's not crazy power, but this tractor can certainly put it down. The farm machine has no problem smoking those big rear wheels and drifts easily.... although, it may be a tiny little bit unstable (hence the roll cage). If nothing else, this looks like the world's most fun way to be a farmer, that's for sure.
