This is a no reserve auction for a complete 1999 Saab 9-3 2.0 turbo with a manual transmission. I’m selling this car for my friend who has used it as a daily driver since 2005. No prior accident history or major body damage but it does have the typical body imperfection that you’d expect on a car with 193k miles (as shown in the pictures). The interior is in very nice shape for its age. It has a clean and clear title as well as receipts for all major services since 2005.

The brakes are good and it does have drilled rotors. It’s being sold as is because there are a few issues that you’ll need to be aware of. Known issue include inoperable power locks and an inoperable radio. It runs and drive but has a substantial oil leak from the oil pan gasket. The leak is so bad that you can only drive it a few feet before you can visibly see the oiling leaking out. The battery is also completely dead to the point where it won’t even take a jump. So, for those reasons it will need to be towed. At this point my friend does not want to bother with any repairs so he’s just going to let it go at NO RESERVE. Highest bidder takes it. If you wanted to invest the time you could put it back on the road since the issues are major or use it for parts since as we know – they’re not making them anymore.

Please look through the picture closely and as any question before you bid. We are disclosing every known issue with this car so that you know exactly what you are bidding on and there are no surprises. We are looking quick and hassle free transaction. Please do not bid if you do not have the ability to arrange for towing. The car must be picked up within 14 days from the end of the auction. Payment through Paypal or cash at pick up. Thanks!

Spyker's $3B lawsuit against GM for blocking Saab sale thrown out

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

US District Judge Gershwin Drain has dismissed a $3-billion lawsuit Spyker filed against General Motors. In the suit, Spyker accused GM of attempting to bankrupt Saab after the US automaker had already sold the company to Spyker. GM in effect blocked the sale of Saab to China's Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile Company by prohibiting the transfer of some of its intellectual property. But the court found that GM had a "contractual right" to approve or disapprove any change of ownership. Furthermore, Reuters reports Judge Drain said the contract between GM and Spyker "is clear, unambiguous and absolute" on the matter.
GM, meanwhile, says it is pleased with the ruling. Spyker CEO Victor Muller has not said whether or not his company will appeal the ruling. The Dutch automaker is expected to make a final decision once the court issues its written order on the case.
You can read the official Spyker press release about the court ruling below for more information.

Saab owners NEVS denied creditor protection by Swedish court

Thu, 28 Aug 2014

The story of Saab is practically a Greek tragedy at this point. The quirky Swedish automaker that was once known as a pioneer of affordable turbocharging has been followed by years of news that just seemed to keep getting worse. At this point, maybe the brand name should be allowed to fade away into the ether and be remembered for the good times that it gave us.
Saab's latest predicament is that its parent National Electric Vehicle Sweden (or NEVS) has been denied protection from its creditors by the Swedish courts. According to Reuters, the judges called the business' financing plan "vague and completely undocumented." A company spokesperson told Reuters that it plans to appeal.
Seemingly in reaction to the court's decision, NEVS posted a press release on its website announcing that the company had applied "for a reorganization to create more time for the ongoing negotiations." The automaker continues to claim that it's negotiating with two global automakers to sell a portion of the company, possibly Mahindra, but the process is taking longer than it originally predicted. It seems a distinct possibility that this reorganization attempt is simply a way to buy extra time.

Autoblog sell-it-yourself highlight: 2004 Saab 9-5 Aero Wagon

Tue, Apr 25 2017

Want to sell your car? We make it safe, easy and free. Quickly create listings with up to 6 photos. Reach - literally - millions of buyers. Log in and create your free listings. In a recent Autoblog sampling of 10 pre-owned choices at least 10 years old and selling for under $10K, an Autoblog editor gave a shout-out to Saab's 9-5. And who could blame him? Despite its departure from the US market and subsequent closure as an automaker, Saab's brand still resonates among a committed core of enthusiasts. The Saab 9-5, available in both sedan and wagon variants, was the upper model of a two-model lineup; the 9-3 sedan sat below it, while the GM-sourced 9-7 SUV didn't appear until 2005. Both the sedan and wagon 9-5 were surprisingly roomy, and the Aero variant, pictured here, incredibly fast. This for-sale example, located in North Carolina, is at 176,000 miles a well-used example in need of (at least) a repaint. But this is the perfect color combination, plus a combo of sport and utility. Buy it for around $2K, hold another $5,000 in reserve to cover the obvious needs, and you can enjoy a distinctive piece of practical and powerful transportation. Related Video:
