1992 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible, Enthusiast/mechanic Owned, Much Recent Work on 2040-cars

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.
