1989 Saab 900 Spg Hatchback 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Boerne, Texas, United States
|
For sale is a 1989 SAAB 900 SPG. This particular one features the Edwardian Black exterior with the matching leather interior. The leather driver's seat has been recently reupholstered, the headliner replaced, and any other worn interior parts either cleaned or replaced. The Engine has recently been check out by an import auto specialist and has had the carbon cleaned out of the engine for like new performance. The engine runs well, turbo spools up nicely, and it pulls strong through all of the gears. It has a new water pump (not due to overheating), thermostat, spark plugs, oil change, radiator hoses, APC solenoid, valve cover gasket, distributor cap and rotor, and many other parts. However, the A/C does not work. I have fitted it with a rebuilt A/C compressor, genuine Saab r134 retrofit kit, expansion valve, and new O-rings. I was still not able to get it to operate, and I have ran out of the money to try to fix it. The other small problems with it include some cracking of the paint on the hood, missing headliner on the sunroof only (the rest of the headliner is there), and a small dent on the left rear quarter panel. The condition is sitting between fair and good. The book value on the vehicle is around 4,500, however I am asking 3,500 in order to take the inoperable A/C into account. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

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.
Saab 900 SPG is the latest Petrolicious love story
Thu, 03 Oct 2013The latest video from the crew at Petrolicious covers one funky Swede - a 1989 Saab 900 SPG. Produced from 1978 to 1998, the 900 enjoyed a long history, and thanks to its iconic look, it's quickly becoming a modern classic for the off-kilter car enthusiast. The SPG, short for Special Performance Group, makes this a particularly rare find, with owner Jordan Melville saying, "I didn't even realize what I had at the time."
Melville gives a rundown of his life with the 900 and his passion for Saab overall, even reflecting on that dark day that saw the Swedish brand closed its doors. As always, the videography is excellent and the story is intriguing in this latest video from Petrolicious. You can view the entire video down below.
New owners still struggling to secure rights to use Saab name
Wed, 27 Jun 2012Not to state the obvious, but if you're going to buy an automaker, it's probably advisable to secure rights to use the name.
That's what the new owners of Saab are trying to work out after buying the iconic Swedish automaker earlier this month, Automotive News reports.
National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS), the Chinese-Japanese conglomerate, acquired the company's physical assets, including its factory in Trollhättan, but didn't get rights to use the Saab name and logo. Truckmaker Scania and defense company Saab AB maintain the name and logo rights, and will need to sign off on NEVS using it, according to the publication. The parties are in discussions.
