1991 Saab 900 S Convertible 2-door 2.1l (classic) on 2040-cars
|
The car was last registered in 2009. I have kept the car covered with a car cover, in a covered carport, until about two months ago, when I moved it to its current location. -The car runs well but it is not perfect. Please see, “PROBLEMS,” below. When I bought the SAAB, (about 6 years ago), the previous owner told me that the top was new, and that it had not been involved in any accidents. I believe that the previous owner replaced the original radio with an upgraded radio, but I am not certain of this. + The car runs well and seems to have a lot of power. The engine seems fairly quiet. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROBLEMS: Interior cosmetic - I have shown some, but not all, of those issues in the pictures. The issue includes rips, tears, curling, and missing pieces(s). Several narrow cracks in the top of the dashboard. Pieces of the burl wood type cover on the dash are torn or missing.Convertible top - Previous owner told me that the top had just been replaced. Later noticed that there was a piece of tape at the bottom of the rear window. Dont know why and I have left it there. I also noticed that one seam has opened a bit. You can see the tape and the seam in the pictures. Electronics work great! Transmission: The transmission is slightly slipping. When you put the car in reverse, the transmission slips. Also, when the car rapidly goes into overdrive, there is slipping. I have noticed that, if I remove the guide for the shift lever, there is less slipping. Also, I did not notice any slipping during normal forward driving. Tires and wheels: A wheel alignment is needed. The front passenger side tire should be replaced immediately AC: Does not work, not sure. I think it blows hot air. Trunk lock: Can be opened electronically only. Key is stuck inside. Seat belts: The piece that the seatbelts plug into does not hold the seatbelts, and the covers for those pieces are both falling off. Spoler: The passenger side spoiler is currently inside of the car. It has big crack in it, but is still in one piece. Other problems: There may be other problems that I do not know about, and there are likely other rips, chips, and tears on the interior, but I have put the problems that I know about in this auction information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION Tire Size: Michellin 215/45 ZR 16 86Y Battery: I had to charge the battery when I moved the car to its new location. The battery held the charge and started the car. Other than that, I do not know the status of the battery. Fog Lights: The car has PIIA fog lights.
Other than guaranteeing that the car will pass a smog test, the car is Sold AS-IS WHERE-IS. No warranty and/or guarantees of any kind, (other than passing a smog test). Car is running. The car is not smoking or leaking. Clear CA title on-hand. I will accept a bank checks, personal checks, cash, and/or Pay-Pal. Title and possession will not pass until after full payment has cleared. Title and possesion will pass at the time the car is picked-up. The car must be picked-up within 10 days of full payment clearing. |

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.
Saab 9-3 production has restarted
Sun, 01 Dec 2013If you're one of the small cadre of Saab drivers, first of all, kudos to you. Because as Top Gear pointed out, Saab drivers are among the most intellectual drivers out there. Secondly, we've got good news for you, because the 9-3 has officially resumed production at the Trollhättan plant in Sweden.
For those of you who may not have followed the story, a quick refresher: Founded in 1947, Saab Automobile AB was an independent automaker until 1989 when General Motors began the decade-long process acquiring it. Unable to make it profitable, GM sold Saab to Spyker in 2010, but that Dutch automaker proved unable to make a go of it, either, and finally shut it down a year later. Much of Saab's assets were acquired by National Electric Vehicle Sweden, which in turn is partially owned by the Chinese city of Qingdao, which pledged to get production back online by the end of the year.
NEVS has apparently made good on its promise, bringing 600 workers back to the factory to resume production of the 9-3 much as it was when a workforce of 3,500 labored on it and its stablemates prior to the bankruptcy. The reborn 9-3 will be sold in Sweden and in China, with an electric version to bring some other updates sometime next year.
3 former Saab execs charged with tax evasion
Mon, 20 May 2013The Associated Press reports three former Saab executives have been arrested on charges of accounting fraud. Swedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren has refused to identify the individuals, but says they're suspected of attempting to evade taxes by falsifying Saab accounts between 2010 and 2011 during the Spyker years. Other reports indicate the parties involved include former General Counsel to Saab Kristina Geers (seen to the left of former CEO Victor Muller, above), a 15-year-veteran of the company - her husband, Eric, was the company's communications director for 9 years as well.
Saab filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and was purchased shortly thereafter by National Electric Vehicle Sweden. If convicted, the trio could face up to four years in prison for their crimes under Swedish law.
