Vehicle Detail
This is a tremendous opportunity to buy a hard to find SAAB Wagon with a manual gearbox and all the great options including leather, dual power heated seats, fantastic heating and ice cold Air Conditioning, from a long time ebayer at a fantastic price. This is my personal car, and has been for about two years. I am the second owner. The car has never been wrecked or abused, and has been a pacific coast car its wholelife, never on salted roads, and never abused. This may be the best car I have ever owned but I have received a gift of another car and space, insurance costs, and logic tell me I cannot keep everything. (Please note- I reviewed the Ebay online vehicle report which is accurate except for the vehicle being a fleet or rental. This car was never a fleet or rental car it was an executive lease car prior to my purchasing it and a one owner car but when the lease ended and they bough out the lease, it shows another change of owner from the leasing company to the originalowner himslef who understandably liked the car so much he got a good deal and bought it out so change in the leinholder only. I guess this is a good free auto check service but not perfect but it is correct no accidents etc. Reeally a superior car!. The one 2008 failed emission test was an oxygen sensor which is very minor and inexpensive on these cars and it was replaced. If this vehicel is purchased in California , I as seller certify that it will pass all emission testing at my expense. It has recently passed the rigorous California Emissions testing with flying colors and should pass in any state) In the last few months I have continued to maintain this SAAB in the impeccable condition I received it in from its first loving owner. It has a full set of newer top of the line Michelin Tires, fitted to the very fine allow wheels which were an extra option on these cars. The Full Leather interior is supple and has no rips tears or holes, or major wear spots, not even on the drivers seats. The gadgets all work and the heated interior seats, front and rear on this model, are an absolute delight. Power windows, power sunroof, rear wiper, all work perfectly. I did a brand new windshield just motnhs ago after a stone chip, and I also just did a full water pump and hoses and belt service, and a brand new 85 month battery and new top of the line wiper blades. The car needs nothing done to it to be your immediate luxurious daily driver. It has both a CD player and cassette stereo from SAAB that works perfectly as do the power mirrors, and all other fabulous accessories. There are pixels missing from the onboard computer readout, but there there is now an easy fix for this at most SAAB shops and available online as well. I just got used to it and can read it with the missing dots. That is the only thing you could do to this car. The original carpet has always been protected by mats, and a recent set of the nice matching SAAB mats are included front and rear. There is also a custom fit cargo area protector in the back that is great for keeping wet ski boots or nursery plants from leaking out on the carpeert which is still beautiful and clean. The car will come with its Yakima type lockable rack kit and the keys (shown in the photo) which is great for all sports or hauling uses. This car has never tried to tow anything, and it needs no major mechanical work. I have all the original owners handbooks and manuals in a leather SAAB case, and the factory CD that came with the car when new. The brakes are at 65% front 80% rear, and the clutch is strong. The beautiful 5 speed shifts smoothly through all gears, as if new, and the engine is quiet, strong, and gives amazing fuel economy. As much as 33MPG hiway on regular with 5 people! Safe as a house, luxurious, and ready for anything. A few of the usual dings and scraped acquired along the way, but car really shows beautifully with original lustrous black paint, sparkling alloys, and a gorgeous interior owned by only non smokers, no pets, and adult driven. This SAAB wagon is a treat. It shows by VIN as a 99 but was first sold in 2000. I have all recent service records. I sell the car AS IS and WITH ALL FAULTS, if any and I WELCOME any INSPECTION by a qualified service or buyer, during the auction only. After the auction, this is sold as-is. You will be thrilled with this car, and the surpringly LOW START PRICE and NO RESERVE is well below recent sales of the same model, or a bargain BUY IT NOW and own this hard to find gem. See my feedback for delighted buyers of other cars of collector quality. This has been my personal car and maintained meticulously. Please email with any questions. I will deliver this car within 750 miles of southern california for $99.00 bucks for an air or bus ticket and the money from you for gas I use driving it to you (remember that 33 MPG when figuring) THIS IS THE ONE YOU WAITED FOR. Bobby.
