1991 SAAB 900 CONVERTIBLE COUPE I bought the car about 6 years ago. The car was last registered in 2009. I have kept the car covered with a car cover, in a covered carport, until about two months ago, when I moved it to its current location. I was going to restore the car and give it to my wife, but both she and I have been sick, so I never got around to working on it. The car runs well but it is not perfect. Please see, “PROBLEMS,” below. I do not see colors well, but I believe that the color in the pictures is less gold/champagne than the car actually is. The car has an automatic transmission. This car is not a turbo. When I bought the SAAB, (about 6 years ago), the previous owner told me that the top was new, and that it had not been involved in any accidents. I believe that the previous owner replaced the original radio with an upgraded radio, but I am not certain of this. After buying the car, I had the car professionally painted. The remaining repairs seemed to me to be cosmetic and/or minor, with the exception of the transmission, which is slightly slipping. I do not know how to repair that or what is needed to repair it. I have not been involved in any accidents in the car. Other than the prior owner telling me that the car had not been in any accidents prior to my purchase, I do not know if the car was in any accidents prior to my purchasing it. The engine seems fine. It is not leaking or burning oil. The car runs well and seems to have a lot of power. The engine seems fairly quiet. I guarantee that the engine will pass a smog test. I am not aware of any electrical problems. The suspension seems good to me. The wheels are real, (not hub-caps). I have not seen any rust or dry-rot.I am providing clear title to the vehicle. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROBLEMS: INTERIOR: There are cosmetic issues on the interior, and I have shown some, but not all, of those issues in the pictures. The issue includes rips, tears, curling, and missing pieces(s). There are several narrow cracks in the top of the dashboard. Pieces of the burl wood type cover on the dash are torn or missing. CONVERTIBLE TOP: When I bought the car, the previous owner told me that the top had just been replaced. I later noticed that there was a piece of tape at the bottom of the rear window. I do not know why and I have left it there. I also noticed that one seam has opened a bit. You can see the tape and the seam in the pictures. TRANSMISSION: The transmission is slightly slipping. TIRES and WHEELS: A wheel alignment is needed. The front passenger side tire should be replaced immediately OTHER PROBLEMS: There may be other problems that I do not know about, and there are likely other rips, chips, and tears on the interior, but I have put the problems that I know about in this auction information. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS ASKED, I HAVE ADDED THE FOLLOWING ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Transmission: When you put the car in reverse, the transmission slips. Also, when the car rapidly goes into overdrive, there is slipping. I have noticed that, if I remove the guide for the shift lever, there is less slipping. Also, I did not notice any slipping during normal forward driving. Blower: The blower works. The AC does not work. I think that it blows hot air, but I am not sure. It has been a long time since I drove the car. Convertible Top: The top opens and closes electronically, as it should. There is a hard cover that can be placed over the opening where the convertible top goes, when the convertible top is open. The top does not leak. Power Windows: all work properly Seats: The seats are manually controlled, not electrically. Lights: All work properly Windshield Wipers: Work properly Headlight Wipers: Work properly Windshield “squirters”: Don’t know Fluid Leaks: None Door Locks: Work properly Trunk Lock: The trunk can only be opened electronically when the car is running, because I broke a key in the lock and was not able to remove the broken piece from the lock. Smog Test: I am assuming that it will pass a smog test because it did so shortly before I stopped using the car. Leather Seats: There are two seams open in the rear seat. The passenger seat has a small tear in the portion that one sits on, a scrape on the side, and a minor tear in the portion that faces the rear of the car. The driver’s seat has a small tear near the big tear. As for cracks, I am not sure how to answer. There are no open cracks that I noticed, but the leather is old and has some, “texture,” (if that is the right word). Tire Size: Michellin 215/45 ZR 16 86Y Battery: I had to charge the battery when I moved the car to its new location. The battery held the charge and started the car. Other than that, I do not know the status of the battery. Fog Lights: The car has PIIA fog lights. Seat Belts: The piece that the seatbelts plug into does not hold the seatbelts, and the covers for those pieces are both falling off. Spoilers: The passenger side spoiler is currently inside of the car. It has big crack in it, but is still in one piece. Sound system: The radio and cassette player work. Engine Size: 2.1 liter --------------------------------------------------------------------------The car is located in the Valley Glen area, (formerly a part of Van Nuys), of the San Fernando Valley, in Los Angeles, California: If you are in the Southern California area: You are welcome to come and see the car. Please e-mail me to set-up a date and time. If you are out of the area and want to transport the car: If you purchase the car and want to arrange for the transportation, I will cooperate with the transport company to get the car to you, but you will have to pay for the transportation and you will be responsible for the car while it is in the process of being transported. The car does not have current tags, so I cannot drive it on the street. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other than guaranteeing that the car will pass a smog test, the car is Sold AS-IS WHERE-IS.
