 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.

GM recalling 8.4M cars, 8.2M related to ignition problems

Mon, 30 Jun 2014

General Motors today announced a truly massive recall covering some 8.4 million vehicles in North America. Most significantly, 8.2 million examples of the affected vehicles are being called back due to "unintended ignition key rotation," though GM spokesperson Alan Adler tells Autoblog that this issue is not like the infamous Chevy Cobalt ignition switch fiasco.
For the sake of perspective, translated to US population, this total recall figure would equal a car for each resident of New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Montana, Delaware, South Dakota, Alaska, North Dakota, the District of Columbia, Vermont and Wyoming. Combined. Here's how it all breaks down:
7,610,862 vehicles in North America being recalled for unintended ignition key rotation. 6,805,679 are in the United States.

National Electric Vehicle stops Saab 9-3 production amidst financing woes

Tue, 20 May 2014

It seems that quirky, Swedish automaker Saab might be on life support yet again. Its owner, National Electric Vehicle Sweden, has announced that it's reducing its workforce and temporarily halting production of the 9-3 due to financial problems. NEVS was only building six cars a day, anyway.
The company put out a press release admitting its economic woes, but it still appeared hopeful. NEVS claims it's developing "a new platform on the Phoenix architecture," and it has a frame agreement with an international automotive OEM. It didn't give any specific details about either one of these assertions though. According to The Wall Street Journal, NEVS needs the partnership to lower development costs in order to stay afloat. Saab spokesperson Mikael Ostlund told Autoblog in an email that the stop in production of the 9-3 in Trollhättan would last four weeks.
NEVS says it's in negotiation to sell a portion of the company to an automotive company. Its current monetary woes are caused by shareholder Qingbo Investment Company not financing the company as agreed. "We plan to have the results of the discussions at latest during June," said Ostlund.

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.
