This convertible is my own "baby". If you are not already a Saab lover, this will make you one.
If you look on-line and read some of the Saab Blogs, the cars built before General Motors got involved are considered "The Real Saab's".
I like that it's a 4-cylinder, fuel injected, turbo charged car, and the engine has a timing CHAIN, not a timing BELT.
I can get 28 miles per gallon (MPG) on the highway.
A/C blows nice and cold. (Good heat too.)
The convertible top works very well with no problems. All electric windows work, electric adjustable seats
and a great radio with CD changer in the trunk.
A great car with amazing gas mileage, very reliable, very safe, totally fun to drive, leather and just drop dead beautiful.
I will tell you it always gets Mobil-1 oil changes and has regular check-ups.
New tires only 6-months ago (see photos) and a new fuel pump and a new throttle cable at the same time.
Heater and Air Conditioning works great. Clutch and transmission feel great, no issues. She starts, runs and drives and brakes beautifully.
I can get between 18 to 20 MPG around town and 28 MPG on long trips. ...and look great doing it !!! Smooth and comfortable.
This car has a nice digital read out for mileage, trips, temp, ETA and a whole host of other functions.
This car does have some minor blemishes:
There is a small tear in the drivers seat, (down low on the left corner of the back section.) If I keep the car, I will install sheepskin covers on the seats.
There are also small cracks in the tail light lens, (center section) the left headlamp outside glass is cracked, (still works fine.) and 3 small hairline cracks in the bottom center section of the windshield. ( I had the local "Ding Doctor" repair the windshield.)
There are some scuff marks on the corners of the bumper and some very very light parking lot marks on the body. (you will never see them.)
Also, there is a mark in the heater LCD display, (see photo) but you can still read the settings.
The "SRS airbag" light is on and the electric radio antenna stays at half mast, but you can hear the antenna motor working.
Please take a look at the pictures, these blemishes are not very visible, but I want to be totally "up-front" since you are not here to see for yourself.
Overall this is a great and reliable car. The problems I listed are all superficial and this is a good "daily driver", plus it's fun and fancy looking.
*** Please feel free to schedule a time to come and see the car before the auction ends, or ask any questions and I will do my best to get you answers in a timely fashion.
For the winning bidder, I can drive the car 150 miles to the Denver International Airport (DIA) and meet you, for an additional $300.
(ie. $1.00 per mile, round trip.) All funds would have to be cleared in advance. -Thank you.
THIS WILL BE A GREAT CAR FOR SOME LUCKY PERSON: DAUGHTER, SON, WIFE OR LUCKY GUY LIKE ME. MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAS SOME WONDERFUL ADVENTURES IN THIS CAR, AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR SOMETHING NEW.
Please bid with confidence.

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.
GM denies Spyker claims in $3B Saab lawsuit
Tue, 02 Oct 2012Reuters 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.
NEVS to build new Saab models in China's Qingdao
Thu, 10 Jan 2013National Electric Vehicle Sweden has officially signed a deal with Qingdao Qingbo Investment Company that will see the NEVS build EVs in Qingdao, China. The move is the first step on the road toward eventually selling vehicles in China. Reuters reports that the Chinese company has agreed to invest $307.33 million, after which point Qingdao Qingbo will receive 22 percent of the NEVS shares. Currently, there's no word on exactly when the funds and shares will change hands, but the Swedish automaker has previously said it fully intends to launch its first EV by early 2014.
NEVS has also made waves about potentially building a version of the old Saab 9-3 with a traditional internal combustion driveline. Currently, the manufacturer says it plans to ship the vehicles it builds in Sweden to the Qingdao port and distribute them to the rest of China from there. Later down the line, a manufacturing facility in Qingdao will supply the country with Chinese-built Saab models.
