2011 SAAB 9-5 Turbo Biopower
Premium Package with Navigation - Many Options
- $46,655 When New
Beautiful Granite Gray over Jet Black Leather Interior - One Owner (Me)
Just Over 7,500 Miles From New - Please Wait for All Photos to Load!
Offered here is my immaculate, freshly-detailed
2011 9-5 Turbo Biopower - the Biopower denotes that the 220bhp 2 Litre Turbo
engine runs just as happily (if not more) on E85 as it does on Premium Unleaded.
I purchased the car from a friend of mine last year - he is one of the last
hold-out SAAB dealers still looking for new and nearly-new inventory around
the USA; he had found this car still in the inventory of a former SAAB dealer
in the midwest just a week prior to my acquisition of it last spring. Since
I thought it might be one of the last new (45 miles on the clock on delivery)
9-5s with Premium and NAV in a pretty color, I bought it on the spot.
Over the last year, I have not used the car
as much as I thought I would, and as such it has just over 7,500 careful
miles. We took it up to the SAAB Owners Convention in upstate New York last
summer where it and a small handful of other 9-5s were a big hit. Other
than that, I've used it quite sparingly.
One of the nicest features of the 2011 9-5 is
the panoramic sunroof, a feature not found on the first 9-5s in 2010.
The brilliant rear light treatment is no less
attractive than the front...
... arguably one of the best rear ends on a
production car in recent memory!
The Granite Gray metallic hue is an interesting
one, in certain lights it appears quite blue.
The car is absolutely straight and as-new -
not so much as a door ding.
All four wheels are unmarked.
The panoramic roof doesn't just look good closed,
but the front portion opens up and out, the windscreen that pops up eliminates
all wind noise.
If you don't want the roof open but want to
enjoy the sunshine, there's plenty of it here.
Or with the touch of a button, close the shade.
The interior is very inviting and full of interesting
features - all four windows go completely up or down at the touch of a button
(one-touch).
The mirrors also fold in for tight parking spaces.
If you're already outside the car, you can hold the lock button on the fob
and it will do it that way as well.
The interior is likewise as-new - seats, dash
and other interior appointments are all in lovely condition. This car does
not have the heads-up display, for which new windshields are still not and
may never be available again.
The center of the speedometer has multiple screens
that can change with the controls on the left stalk. The steering wheel
controls are for the cruise control (left) and the audio, hands-free phone
and voice commands.
A shot of the tire pressure monitoring screen.
If E85 fuel is used, this screen will display
the percentage of E85 in the tank against the E0/E10 (pump fuel).
Navigation was a rare option on these cars.
The speedometer screen also has a Navigation quick reference when a course
is plotted. Note also the dual heated seats, dual-zone climate control et.c.
below.
The XM radio subscription is paid up for a while!
A nice thing to have.
The radio also has an on-board hard drive with
storage for lots of MP3s as seen here. There are also USB and 1/8"
Aux inputs in the center cubby.
As you would expect from a 7,500 mile car, the
seats are as-new. Both front seats have 8-way power and adjustable lumbar
support. The central armrest is adjusted forward in this photo.
Inside on the right side...
Another shot of the dash...
The glovebox is climate controlled (see switch
at top right) and on a hot day can serve as a refrigerator of a sort by
sliding the switch.
Both transponder keys have fresh batteries.
The car has remote start as you see here.
Original paperwork as seen here is comprehensive,
including the window sticker.
Note the $2,395 Navigation option!
Tidy on this side as well.
Under the center armrest, a small compartment...
As well as a deep one with the USB and 1/8"
jacks. Note also the central cupholder.
Let's take a look in the back!
The back seat offers a lot of legroom and the
same comfort as the front. The rear seats fold down 60/40 with ease and
offer an amazing amount of cargo space.
In the other side...
More of the same.
 \
The overhead panel features a 3 button Homelink
garage door opener as well as switches for the sunroof and sun-shade. Both
of these offer one-touch operation like the power windows.
The trunk compartment is very spacious with
the back seats up and offers a tremendous amount of cargo room with them
down. In addition, there is also a pass-through door for skis or other long
items that go through where the armrest is without lowering the seats.
The engine compartment is as clean as the day
I took delivery. Park Ave did an synthetic oil service on the car about
3,000 miles ago. Oil Life Remaining per the instrument cluster indicates
77%.
payment/warranty/shipping
Full payment is expected within seven days of
auction close unless
cleared with me in advance. I cannot extend a loan to you as I am not
a financial institution, so if you need a loan, please contact a bank or
a loan company that specializes in automobile loans. If you need a loan,
please don't bid before you have been approved for financing. Payment options
include cash, cleared wire transfer or bank cheque in my account or a loan
cheque, again, cleared in my account in the timeframe specified.
While the warranty mentioned on the above-pictured
window sticker is not valid (all warranties for 2010-2011 Saabs were voided
with the bankruptcy), I may be able to offer you the option of a SAAB Secure
Warranty through my experienced former Saab dealer friend at an additional
charge. Unlike a generic aftermarket warranty available from anyone, these
are underwritten by Saab Parts North America and their financial partner.
These warranties are honored by former Saab dealerships and other authorized
service points as well as SPNA. I will put you in touch with him should
you win the car and have interest in one of these. They are quite reasonable
if this concerns you. I did not opt for one as I happen to think that these
cars are quite bulletproof and according to numerous colleagues and friends
who maintain many of these have not had major failures to necessitate a
warranty.
Pickup in person or shipping should occur within
fourteen days of auction close unless
cleared with me in advance. I'm more than happy to refer you to both
open and enclosed professional automotive shippers that I use regularly
in my business but will not make the arrangements for you as this has caused
confusion in the past.
I reserve the right to add a few miles to the
car during the listing as I may use it a few times, offer a test-drive,
et.c.
(While I am an automobile dealer and broker
and you may have seen my ads before, this car is my own and I am selling
it as a private person. There are no additional fees or paperwork, you will
be buying this car from me directly.)

Somewhere behind Hennessey setting a new top speed record at this year's Texas Mile with its camouflage Ford GT, a stock-looking 1996 Saab 900T pulled up to the line to see what it could do. The dealer showroom wheels wouldn't offer any indication that the 2.0-liter four-cylinder under the hood was getting help from a Garrett turbocharger, a tuned ECU and E85 gas to put out 465 horsepower at the front wheels.
Knowing that, it shouldn't be too much of a surprise that at the other end of the mile the sky blue Swedish wonder was doing 174 miles per hour. The four-cylinder class at the Texas Mile has plenty such rockets, too, this Swede coming just behind a Dodge Neon that did 175.8 mph. You can watch the Saab do its thing in the video below.

It seems that quirky, Swedish automaker Saab might be on life support yet again. Its owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden, has announced that it's reducing its workforce and temporarily halting production of the 9-3 due to financial problems. NEVS was only building six cars a day, anyway.
The company put out a press release admitting its economic woes, but it still appeared hopeful. NEVS claims it's developing "a new platform on the Phoenix architecture," and it has a frame agreement with an international automotive OEM. It didn't give any specific details about either one of these assertions though. According to The Wall Street Journal, NEVS needs the partnership to lower development costs in order to stay afloat. Saab spokesperson Mikael Ostlund told Autoblog in an email that the stop in production of the 9-3 in Trollhättan would last four weeks.
NEVS says it's in negotiation to sell a portion of the company to an automotive company. Its current monetary woes are caused by shareholder Qingbo Investment Company not financing the company as agreed. "We plan to have the results of the discussions at latest during June," said Ostlund.

BAIC has officially pulled the covers off of its new Senova D Series sedan for China. The four-door is based on the old Saab 9-5 and boasts a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Local buyers can get their hands on the machine for around $22,745 at current conversion rates. Other engine options include a turbocharged 1.8-liter four cylinder as well as turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder, and a wide range of safety equipment comes standard on every trim except the very base model. Those goodies include a tire pressure monitoring system, active head restraints, blind spot detection, driver fatigue detection and parking sensors.
The Senova nameplate serves every model based on former Saab architectures, including the Epsilon, GM2900 and GM2400 platforms as well as engine and transmission tech. In order to promote its new products, BAIC has hired Hollywood staple Nicolas Cage to serve as the company's brand ambassador. Cage stars in the Senova-heavy Town of Car Legends action-packed video short (directed by Olivier Megaton of Transporter 3 and Taken 2 fame) which you can view by scrolling below.
