Hello and thanks for looking at my auction. My name is Joe and I am a licensed wholesaler selling trade-in and off lease vehicles to the public. I describe my vehicles with complete honesty and full disclosure of all known defects. Please feel free to ask any and all questions before you bid. Please only bid if a) you have the funds immediately available to back up your bid, b) all of your questions and concerns are fully satisfied, c) you have fully considered the logistics of picking up/shipping the vehicle should you be the high bidder and d) you can/will contact me and complete the transaction. Today we have a great looking 1996 Saab 900SE Turbo convertible! These cars are very well designed and thought through. The classic Saab body is unmistakable and stands out in a crowd. This example is finished in classic green with tan leather interior and black top. Walking around the outside, this car looks magnificent for a '96. Other than a few chips on the front of the hood from highway travel there is absolutely nothing wrong with the body. The paint shines great all around. There is no rust anywhere. Besides a small scuff on the corner of the front bumper, there are no major scratches or dents. The soft top is in excellent condition. Just look at the pictures and you will see how nice this Saab really is! This one has the three spoke performance wheels with the deep lip which give it a very agressive look. The low profile tires have plenty of tread left and grip the road great! I did notice that the retracting antenna is broken. I've done this before by going through a car wash with the radio on, lol. It is obvious that the owner took great care of this one. Pride in ownership shows everywhere from the matching tires to the Saab license plate in front and even its condition. All I did for the pictures was wash it off! Inside, you will find that this car is loaded! The SE model is top of the line! You will find a great tan leather interior with no rips or holes in the seats, carpets or inner lining of the convertible top. The dash is trimmed in wood. The SE has fully automatic climate control which works well. This car is equipped with power windows, power locks, power mirrors, power/memory seat and heated front seats. The heat is nice and hot and the A/C will freeze you out! There is a full drivers information center at the top of the console which has a few pixels out (very common). The stereo system sounds great! You get an AM/FM stereo with cassette up front and a factory CD changer in the trunk! Saab engineers really think of everything to make driving effortless and not rewarding. For example, there is a button that raises and lowers all four windows at the same time so you don't have to push all four buttons. When you tap the windshield wipers in most cars to do a quick swipe of the windshield, the wipers go once and never get it right. In a Saab, you press the wiper button and the wipers go twice so it actually cleans the windshield without having to do it again. There is even a button labeled "black panel". This disables the lighting on every gauge and button in the interior except the speedometer. When driving long distances at night, all of the gauges and buttons being lighted can be hard on the eyes and fatigue the driver. The "black panel" feature makes the whole interior dark with exception of the speedometer making long distance night driving a breeze. These are arguably the best engineered cars out there! In the glove box there are a full set of manuals. The factory security system is fully operational and comes with one key, one remote and a Saab key fob. The only thing wrong with the inside is that the shifter knob is missing the padded part. Mechanically this car runs great. It starts right up and runs smooth and quiet. There are no leaks that I have found. The engine doesn't make any smoke or odd noises. The transmission works well. The clutch has some miles on it. It is NOT worn out but it is a little on the stiff side. The suspension and steering is nice and tight without any klunking or noises. I did notice a slight vibration between 60-70mph. Otherwise it drives great! At 90mph you can steer with your knee! The brakes work great. This SE has the 2.0 Turbocharged engine which makes gobs of power! The turbo spools up quickly and hits like a hammer! Saabs are known for winning endurance races all over the world with this engine. I run my scan tool through every car as a precaution. I checked the code history of this car and there was a past code for a cam position sensor circut. There is NOT a check engine light on currently so it may have been corrected but I don't want you to be suprised if it comes back on. European cars can be fickle and are very sensative. All around this is an outstanding vehicle. The engine makes loads of power and the car looks amazing. This will make a great car for its next owner! It is PA inspected for safety and emissions through 4/11. It is hard to find these cars that aren't all beat up and ragged out. All of the electronics work properly. The convertible top is in great condition and is fully operational. If the date on the pictures is wrong, it is because I changed batteries in my camera. Pictures were taken on 10/30/10. I have personally driven this car for the last 3 days and put well over 100 miles on it! If you are looking for a Saab, this is it! If you have never owned a Saab, you don't know what you're missing. They drive a little different but once you get used to it you won't want to drive anything else. This one is very well optioned, in great condition, looks great and is a rocket on the highway! Please serious bidders only. Ask me anything you want about this car. I would rather you ask than assume anything so questions are welcomed. If you are local to York, Pa I am happy to show this car in person with adequate notice. I am also happy to cooperate with your shipper if you require shipping. I can also pick the winning bidder up at the local bus station or BWI or MDT airport at an agreeable time. There is a $99 administrative fee that will be added to the final bid amount. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
