Up for sale is my soon-to-be-wife's 1988 Saab Turbo 900 Convertible. The car has a new alternator (installed less than 300 miles ago), a new battery (installed less than 25 miles ago), a one-year-old motorized retractable roof (meaning both the top and its motor are new); beige leather interior, air conditioning, a working CD player, adjustable seats, and relatively new tires (put on the car about 6,000 miles ago). The car had a fuel injector cleaning less than a year ago. The pros: great gas mileage (averaged 28-30 mpg), huge trunk, new top, new battery, new alternator, brand new covers for the convertible top when it is down, and an overall fun ride. The cons: the dashboard lights stopped working about 100 miles ago (prompting my fiance to successfully light up the dash with external lights plugged into the cigarette lighter port); the heat can be "touch and go" during the winter; the exhaust system consists of a tailpipe forged out of raw metal by the car's previous owner (see pictures); only the CD player and the AM-band of the radio work because the car's retractable antenna stopped retracting, rendering the FM-band to fuzz; one of the headlights is held in by plastic bands (see picture); and the car requires a jump start to get moving. A few months ago, the car would not start for my soon-to-be-bride, so a coworker jump-started it for her. It ran fine a few more starts and then, a few few weeks later, it required another jump. Because the car has a relatively new alternator and a brand new battery, our mechanic deduced it must be a short in some wires pulling electricity away from the battery even when the car is stopped. Rather than fixing it, my fiance decided to buy a brand new car. Again, with a jump-start, the car runs and will stay running for (we estimate) about an hour. Then it dies and requires a jump. We are selling the car cheap, knowing that the next owner will have a notable problem to fix. The car has 153,131 miles on it. My finace is only the car's second owner; its first owner was our mechanic! Because of the jump-starting issue, the winning bidder should tow the car rather than merely showing up hoping to drive it home. Buyer pays a $350 deposit via PayPal up front with the remaining dollar amount brought to me in cash upon pick up. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to e-mail me. Happy biddings!
