For auction is my wife's 1999 Saab 9-3. She all but stopped driving it when she went back to school and so it has been sitting outside for about 3 years now. Now that she has graduated and is working nearby where she doesn't have to drive we have decided to part with it. Because it has been sitting the battery no longer holds a charge, but it does start up fine with a jump and the level of charge quickly increases as read by a meter. It drives and shifts smoothly. There are a few spots of exterior damage which I have documented in the photos. The plastic case that goes around one of the back seat belts is separated but can could probably be easily be snapped back in place--it does not effect the actual use of the seatbelt. A good portion of LCD display does not display properly with missing lines going through the information on the screen. The knobs that adjust the thermostat are loose and often come out but can be put back in place. The tires still have a lot of tread left in them. The sunroof works fine and makes the car even more fun to drive. It has heated seats and the leather interior is in good shape. It has a leather wrapped steering wheel and sport driving mode. The remote to unlock/lock the doors does not work, even after replacing the battery. The hatchback opens fine but does not stay open without holding it up. The owners manual and Saab branded leather case for it are included. In the past it has at times made a sound while running that we believe was from the air compressor, but the ac blows cold and when I drove it around my neighborhood this morning the sound was not happening. In fact driving it around the neighborhood this morning was a lot of fun and almost made me decide not to sell it but since we don't need it I am moving forward with the plan. I have tried to disclose any and all known issues but since it hasn't been getting much use there is a chance there are things that I am not aware of. For this reason I am selling it "as is" with a low reserve. Thank you very much for checking out my auction. Please email me if you have any questions or if you are in the Nashville area and would like to check it out.
