2003 Saab 9-3 Vector, NO RESERVE! 2.0 GM ECOTEC Turbo 210 HP 220 lb tq *******Very reliable and proven******* RARE 6spd Manual Pwr driver and passenger seats Auto up/down windows 300 watt, 13 speaker stereo with audio-in jack Chilled glove-box for drinks 119,000 hwy miles Only Mobil 1 synthetic oil, 0-W-30 Timing CHAIN = low maintenance One owner, purchased off Lease I am regrettably listing my 9-3 for sale due to lack of time to repair it. I bought this car almost five years ago off lease after an exhaustive search online, and it has been a great friend to me. Several months ago, I was en-route to a business meeting when congestion got the best of me. I went into the back of a Chevy Malibu that started braking hard, and suddenly, near a toll plaza. After much debate, I decided to take the insurance settlement and buy another car that better suited my needs, I am finally getting around to listing "Saabrina" for sale.CONDITION: The damage was light and deemed repairable by my insurance company; I drove the car 60 miles home after the accident with absolutely no problems whatsoever. Unfortunately, I punctured the radiator after getting it home while I was trying to get the hood open, so this is a problem :( Otherwise, the damage is pretty self explanatory in the pictures. I have the chin spoiler in my garage and it is still good, (aside from being a little worn).Most everything is functional on the car, a/c blows ice-cold, in fact, this car has the BEST a/c I've ever experienced in a car and I miss it dearly with this Florida heat already! The drivers side window has a new issue that I haven't had time to diagnose. Motor works, (recently replaced it) but it is making an unhealthy noise. Sounds like a possible linkage problem but it still works. One of the engine coils is due for replacement, the symptom is an occasional mis-fire under heavy load. This will be the third time I have replaced one on it so I am very familiar with the problem and absolutely guarantee that it will remedy it. In fact, I will replace it for you if it makes you feel better. EDIT: I have just ordered a new coil, it will be repaired as part of the sale. · CEL is on due to emissions pump. This is common on 2003 models and is not harmful so I never bothered to fix it (most people don’t) · Car is GREAT on gas, around here I average between 28 and 32 MPG, but that is driving fairly conservatively. However, I have never seen it drop below 25. Several years ago, I fitted H&R lowering springs and the ride is pretty rigid now, handles very well but I still have factory springs if it is not to your liking. This is a fantastic car, don't think I realized how much I loved it until I spent some time in my new Volvo V50. Really considering another Saab, it does a lot of things very well and in style. With a little effort, you could have yourself a cheap, reliable and efficient euro, or if you have more time than I do: part it out and make some $$$! SHIPPING: I may be able to deliver the car in an enclosed trailer, please e-mail me with specific requests.Good luck Bidding!
