Saab 9 5, 9-5, 2000, Great Driving Car That Still Looks Good, No Reserve! on 2040-cars
Granville, Massachusetts, United States
|
This has been a very good car for us over the past few years, I have put 50k miles on it and it has never let me down. Previous to that it was owned by my cousin, who also had great service from this car. It's a reliable car that drives well and looks good. Recently replaced the complete exhaust turbo back, so there should be no issues for the life of the car. CT Emissions good until 11/15.
Clear coat peeling on hood and cracked paint/bondo on passenger front fender (have another fender that you can have if you want to do the paint work), otherwise very very nice body for the age and mileage, door dents and scratches are minimal. Black/charcoal leather interior is in great shape. It does have a check engine light for a P0171 code that I haven't gotten off, but does not effect drivability. Also has an intermittent key issue that requires a button press to bypass, have the parts to provide just hasn't been bothersome enough to replace, and the usual dropped pixels in the display. We've replaced it with a 2005 Saab. Once you've owned Saabs, we're a multiple Saab family, you'll understand that these really are exceptional cars for the money. Our last trip in the car before we moved on to the newer car was well over 500 miles round trip. Never thought twice about taking this car. AC works great, tires are good, suspension is all there, get in it and drive it, see if you can figure out what the life expectancy is, our previous Saab went over 300k. Small issues aside it's a great car for the money. Wouldn't hesitate to take it on any road trip, 26mpg, quick, comfortable. Can be seen in Granville, MA. |

Spyker to appeal dismissal of Saab lawsuit against GM
Fri, 21 Jun 2013It seems as if Spyker CEO Victor Muller has made a decision on whether or not to pursue a legal battle between his company and General Motors. Spyker has announced it will appeal a US District Court decision to throw out the company's lawsuit against GM. As you may recall, on June 10 Judge Gershwin Drain ruled tht GM had a right to approve or disapprove Spyker's sale of Saab to Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile. Spyker sued GM for some $3 billion, claiming that the American automaker had forced Saab into bankruptcy by stopping Spyker from transferring intellectual property to its Chinese partner.
Spyker has said only that it plans to appeal the decision. Until now, the company has been silent about the ruling. GM, meanwhile, has said it is pleased with the original outcome. You can read the quick Spyker press release below for more information.
Hot rod tractor stars in Swedish version of Farmkhana
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The Nordic countries are known for their beautiful fjords, blonde-haired populace and bitter cold for a good portion of the year. The hours spent indoors during the dark, cold season apparently gives a lot of time for some crazy brainstorming. Tire store chain Vianor is highlighting the Traktor Terror in a new video. If Ken Block is the master of Gymkhana, then these guys know all about Farmkhana in their custom, turbocharged tractor.
According to the YouTube description from Vianor, the tractor is a 1956 Volvo BM Terrier with an added roll cage, adjustable front suspension and extended frame. The engine is thoroughly Swedish, and it's based on a Volvo 940 Turbo with a Volvo 240 head and Volvo 740 intercooler. However, it uses a Saab turbo Prospark ignition and fuel system. All told, the setup is claimed to make 225 horsepower and is capable of a top speed of 60 miles per hour.
That's not crazy power, but this tractor can certainly put it down. The farm machine has no problem smoking those big rear wheels and drifts easily.... although, it may be a tiny little bit unstable (hence the roll cage). If nothing else, this looks like the world's most fun way to be a farmer, that's for sure.
Saab 9-3 production to start in China in 2013 [UPDATE]
Thu, 17 Jan 2013We knew that National Electric Vehicle Sweden planned to restart production of the last-gen Saab 9-3 at some point in the future, we just didn't know exactly when, or exactly where. As it turns out, the answers to those questions are soon, and China.
Though NEVS had initially said it will build vehicles in Sweden before shipping them to China, the latest report from Autocar suggests that the cars will instead be built right in Quingdao starting later in 2013. That's right, this calendar year. Also on the docket is a followup electric version of the 9-3, which is slated to come to market in 2014 in an effort to satiate China's wish that there be half a million EVs silently filling its streets within the next two years.
NEVS wants to be part of the EV solution, but it's not going to be easy. Naturally, if these cars are to be built in China, a factory has to be located or built, tooling needs to be in place, workers need to be hired and trained and a lengthy trail of paperwork has to be signed off by the government before even the well-known gasoline-powered 9-3 can be a reality, let along the unknown quantity that is the 9-3 ePower.
