 Up for sale is my well loved, well maintained Saab 9-3.  All features and options are listed above, except the Thule roof rack which is included.  It is also equipped with the Sport and Snow driving modes. This car is in exceptional shape for it's age and would make a great first car for your teen driver, an excellent 2nd family car or student commuter.  I drove 64.9 miles, one way, everyday to work with it for over a year, and would not hesitate to jump in it and drive across country.  This vehicle has always had regular oil/filter changes with Mobil 1 or Pennzoil synthetic oil and Bosch or Fram filters.  It has had the tires rotated regularly as well, and currently has Pirelli P4 all-season radials on it with plenty of tread (see pics).  Brakes are about a year old.  All options function properly, but may need refrigerant (R-134a)  in the a/c system this summer as cooling was dropping off near the end of the season last year.  All lights, signals, horn, etc. function properly.  The only issues are that the paint on the hood and roof is oxidized, and the middle seat belt reel in the rear is jammed.  The car spent most of it's life on the west coast and when brought here to Virginia, the paint began to oxidize in those 2 spots (see pics).  Currently has a Virginia Safety Inspection good thru January 2015.  I also have many records from previous owner and will also include a service manual and a few parts that I have collected (spare coil pack, switches, etc). This car has given me zero problems, and the ONLY reason I am selling is because I came across a great deal on a car that I have always wanted to own.

Saab's never-was 9-3 gets a few better looks

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

The recent glimpses we've been getting of the never-was Saab 9-3 Phoenix must be like rubbing salt on the wounds of all the Saab fans out there. If that's the case, diehard Saab enthusiasts might want to look away from this. SaabWorld has uncovered a handful of shots of what was to be the next-generation 9-3 hatchback, and boy does it look sharp.
Revealing a clearer look at what we previously saw in grainy images or as a full-scale model, these new pictures show what Jason Castriota had in mind for the new car. The front end is obviously inspired by Saab's Phoenix Concept, while the rear of the car pays homage to the Saab 900 hatchback.
We like the overall look. Let us know what you think in the Comments.

What brands have Saab owners defected to? Polk investigates

Sun, 02 Sep 2012

When 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.

Nicolas Cage flogs Saab-based Senova from Beijing Auto [w/video]

Mon, 13 May 2013

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.
