 About this car .  First thing I traded a ford truck and cash for this car.  It belonged to a local business man in my town.  I have always liked the looks of these cars.  I have never owned a foreign car other  than a Volkswagen.    The owner has owned several foreign cars.  He bought a Bmw convertible and sold the saab to me.  He had owned it for a while and assured me it was in good shape.   After purchasing the car I have drove it very little,but here is what I can tell you about it.   It has a 2.0 4 cylinder turbo motor and a 5-speed transmission.    Motor is very quiet and tranny shifts perfect.  Motor does not smoke and previous owner assured me it did not burn any oil. .  The turbo gives this motor power through the shift range that thoroughly impressed this Ford and Chevy man. Previous owner put $600.00 worth of brakes and calipers on this car.  I have the receipts where this was done in my home town.  Car has a power top. Top is not perfect but is actually in nice shape with a minor tear or two.  All glass is good including the convertible rear heated glass. Driver seat has rip in leather other seats are good. It has a power antenna.  Original radio has been replaced with am/fm cd unit.  very nice speaker sound. Dash has some cracks in it.  Trunk floor has some minor rust,and there is some bubbling over rear wheel.   This car runs smoothly down the road.  There is no major vibration or darting in the front end. Tires are in good used shape.  Here is what I know that I think you need to know.  The front passenger side headlight bracket is broke.  But light stays in place. All lights and signals work.  car has twin electric fans.  One fan is wired to run constantly which keeps motor cool. Car does not overheat.  But is not supposed to work that way.  Brakes have been replaced and so have calipers ,but they need adjusted.  After car has been drove a while this goes away because the brakes heat up as they are supposed to and they work nicely.    Air condition not blowing cool I assume it needs refrigerant.  As I said I am very impressed with this car. This car is 27 years old and I would label it a survivor. Some one had to pull maintenance to have lasted this long. But I am and will mostly be a Ford and Chevy man.  This car is sold as is no warranty.  Shipping or pick-up will be your responsibility.  Will answer all questions honestly. I have 100% positive feedback.

Spyker files $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors over Saab's demise

Mon, 06 Aug 2012

"Smack." That's the sound of Spyker's process server dropping a big ol' pile of legal documents on the doorstep of The Renaissance Center, home of General Motors - or wherever GM's attorneys live during business hours. Contained therein is a Complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and demanding a jury trial, that seeks $3 billion in damages due to "the unlawful actions GM took to avoid competition with Saab Automobile in the Chinese market." Spyker accuses GM of "tortiously interfering" with Saab's business relationship with Chinese automaker Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile (Youngman), actions that Spyker CEO Victor Muller (above) said "deliberately drove Saab Automobile into bankruptcy."
(From Wikipedia: "Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships.")
The interference in question specifically refers to the very last potential deal, called the Framework Agreement, that Spyker worked out with Youngman. With lots of GM engineering embedded into the 9-4X and 9-5, The General had the right to approve any Saab partnership that would involve the transfer of GM intellectual property. Spyker had been rebuffed over every previous deal with a Chinese firm, including two bids by Youngman, due to GM concerns over its IP getting into Chinese hands and having to face Chinese-market competitors using its technology. The Complaint alleges that the Framework Agreement would have put a firewall around all GM IP - Youngman would only work on Saab's Phoenix platform, said to be just about free of GM tech, and would have no access to 9-3, 9-4X or 9-5 technology until after Saab ceased all ties to GM.

Saab US bankruptcy plan gets legal green-light

Thu, 18 Jul 2013

It feels utterly bizarre that we're still talking about Saab, but Reuters is reporting that the bankrupt Swedish manufacturer's American arm has gotten approval from the US Bankruptcy Court to liquidate its assets and pay back creditors. As part of the plan, secured creditors like Ally Financial will receive full repayment. Unsecured creditors, consisting of those affected by abandoned leases and contracts will get anywhere from 25 to 82 percent of their money back.
There are currently $77 million in unsecured claims, according to Reuters, but that number doesn't include claims from former Saab dealers. Naturally, the entire affair is full of lawyers and legalese. A trust formed on the Saab side will be negotiating with creditors and their affiliates in an attempt to reduce claims against Saab. This sounds like the start of a long and sordid affair...

GM denies Spyker claims in $3B Saab lawsuit

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Reuters reports General Motors has dismissed claims by Spyker outlined in a $3 billion lawsuit. Spyker alleged GM deliberately bankrupted Saab by preventing a deal with Chinese investor Zhejiang Youngman Lotus. GM, meanwhile, filed a response with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan saying that as the former owner of Saab, GM had the legal right to approve the deal with Youngman. But Spyker's lawsuit claimed GM's refusal to approve the deal with Youngman stemmed from the fact that the American automaker didn't want to create a competitor in China.
GM has said the issue stemmed more from the fact that it would stop licensing its technology to Saab or stop building vehicles for the manufacturer in the event it was bought by Youngman. Since Saab built its own platform that didn't use any GM tech, Spyker says that argument is meritless.
The lawsuit has Spyker seeking $3 billion in compensatory damages, though that number could swell with interest, punitive damages and legal fees, as well. Victor Muller, Spyker chief executive, has said the lawsuit is being funded by an anonymous third party. That party will share in any settlement. Youngman has refused to comment on whether or not it's footing the legal bill.
