Vehicle Detail
For Sale: An Excellent 2003 Saab 9-3 ARC, Black with Parchment (Beige) Interior. 2.0 Liter 4 Cylinder Engine, 16 Valve DOHC, High Output Turbo with 210 HP. Car has never left Texas after arriving from Sweden. In service date was 4/23/2003. We bought the car as a Certified Pre-Owned car in 2005. It has been our daily driver since them and garaged the whole time. Car has been lovingly maintained only by the Dealership and a Certified Saab Mechanic, even for oil changes! I transported my kids in it so I was pretty retentive about maintenance. I have full service records going back to 2008 that I can make available. Smoke-Free Drivers! As the car is 10 years old, there is some body wear, and that is taken into account in my pricing. There are some scratches, whorls, door dings, a dent on the hood, a small rock chip in the windshield. You may want to remove the window tint or redo it on a couple of windows. Sunroof works, sometimes one corner of the moonroof dips,but never leaks! This is corrected by moving the smokehatch up, and then down and it sets correctly. Interior is pristine except for some wear on driver's seat bottom, and some of the detail on the rubber buttons for the computer console has rubbed off, and some plastic wear on door panels near handles. I have cloth beige floormats too. The car has a nice REAR SPOILER and UPGRADED WHEELS. Headliner in great condition, computer displays and radio all work, no check engine light on right now. All tools inside the car trunk. Have owners manual, and other docs from purchase including Saab black document organizer. Got a new key made last week with full transmitter assembly. I also have two other keys but the rubber body of each is worn. They work however. Trunk has cargo net. I have an extra tire I can throw in if you want, they are used. I have original window sticker. The mechanicals are the strong point of this car. It drives extremely well and is fast! Handles better than any other Front Wheel Drive Car I have ever driven. Very very safe too for its class! I just changed the oil last week. I have used only 93 High Octane Gas in the car. The only issue I am aware of is the right rear door lock actuator needs to be replaced and that is around $116 for the part. Everything else works well. The battery was replaced over the summer, the tires are Michelin Pilot Sport ALS PLUS 225/45 ZR17 91Y M+S, installed at 92,000 miles! All 4 match and are the same size.

I have done most of the work for you maintenance wise. I had no intention of selling but had another child and needed a larger car as I keep growing my family. Ask me questions if you wish.
