For Auction is my 1995 Saab 9000 Aero
I am the third owner of this car and have enjoyed driving it for the past 50,000 miles. I have taken good care of the car and it has been very reliable transportation that is also fun to drive. It has a huge trunk space with the hatchback design and is a very functional vehicle that has lots of power and handles like a tight sports car. In 1995 this was the most powerful saab built and generates about 250 hp. I am reluctantly selling this car due to a lack of space in my driveway and I want to buy a pickup truck as I have recently purchased a newer sedan and just don't need two sedans. There are not many of these out there for sale that are in this condition and when you clean and detail the car it still looks pretty great as you can see in the photos. Heat and AC work, climate control unit is working as it should. (AC will need to be charged). Interior is in very good condition, no rips or tears in the seats. Carpeting is showing some wear in the drivers foot well but no holes and the car has always had floor mats so the carpet is in very good condition. The Harmon Cardon sound system works as it should and has a working CD player. This car cost $40,000 in 1995 and was the top of the line Saab there were only 200 imported with an automatic transmission that year so it is an unusual vehicle on the road, people are amazed at the condition of the car when I tell them how old it is. I would drive this car anywhere as it sits right now, if you have any questions or want to see more photos let me know and I will give you a link to access.
Here are the some of the newer parts that have been installed on the car:
Ignition Cassette, alternator, water pump, 4 new rotors, brake pads, belt tension-er, radiator, thermostat, all heater and radiator hoses, new head gasket, bulb control relay, head lights, front bumper, new exhaust system from the catalytic converter back to the exhaust tip.
This is not a new car and there are a few things that need some attention:
The fenders are just starting showing some rust bubbles, there is a small dent on the drivers fender, and some other nicks chips and dings, but all small stuff. The passenger rear door will not lock and the auto locks don't work on all of the doors. The drivers window works but doesn't go down all the way. (last2") There is a crack in the dash board that is a bummer, but could be replaced with a used one or an after market part for around $100.
Great car for a Saab enthusiast or summer kid car as well. I have sold several cars on Ebay and have very good feed back, if you want more information about the car let me know and I will get back to you ASAP.
Thanks for looking and Happy Bidding,
I accept paypal, a $500 deposit (non refundable) is paid at the end of the auction and all payment is expected in full within 72 hours of the end of auction. If you want to have the car shipped to you all arrangements will be made by the buyer and I will work with you and your transporter to make for a smooth transfer of the vehicle.

GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.

Vampire Weekend burns for Saab
Thu, 21 Mar 2013Or is it the other way around?
Could Vampire Weekend be trying to tell me something? A just-launched music video for the indie rock band's new single Diane Young features what looks like a pretty mint black Saab 900 Turbo Convertible being torched in slow-motion. In fact, with the exception of a brief, flickering cameo by a 900 three-door of a similar vintage, that's all that there is to the nearly three-minute long video. It's both sad and oddly beautiful.
Coincidentally, I have a similar-looking turbocharged black Saab convertible sitting in my garage, and I've been reluctantly pondering its sale this very week. Admittedly, mine is a later model (2001 9-3 Viggen), but tri-spokes and more tapered rump aside, it looks eerily identical. And while mine isn't mired in flames (I love it too much to torch it), through no fault of its own, it's been sitting motionless far too regularly. Thankfully, I see a better future for it than the droptop seen above.
What brands have Saab owners defected to? Polk investigates
Sun, 02 Sep 2012When a brand goes belly-up, it's natural for analysts to wonder where that brand's consumers will turn. General Motors has mothballed more car brands the last decade than most other automakers' have in their entire portfolios, so "Where did [insert brand here] buyers go?" has been a common question asked of The General. According to reports, it didn't do so well at retaining Oldsmobile owners (who supposedly went to Hyundai), or Hummer and Saturn buyers, but did get some return love from Pontiac owners.
A consultant with Polk has turned the loyalty lens on Saab. The Polk Disposal Loyalty Methodology tracks owners selling vehicles within six months of buying a new one. In 2010 and 2011, Polk found that when Saab died, owners went right up the middle of the mainstream to Honda. It was close, though, with just 0.2 percent separating Honda from number two Volkswagen. Audi comes in third.
After that it's back to the masses with Toyota, Chevrolet and Ford trumping import luxury brands. And if you combine all of the General Motors brands that Saab owners have migrated to, GM more than doubles Honda with a 15.2-percent share, so all the love is not lost.
