2003 SAAB 9-5 Aero. This car was in long term storage and needs some work. I purchased this car in 2005. I'd rather not begin to think about money that was put into servicing this car right up to when it was placed in storage. :) This car was in storage since early 2012 when my fiance decided to get a CUV as our daily driver. It spent a year and change inside my underground office complex lot and the balance of this year in an outside spot. Car does not start and will need to be towed from my location. If need be I may be able to use my insurance coverage to have it towed out a few miles in your direction, but don't treat this possibility as a stipulation of sale. I believe the car has a dead starter. I installed a brand new battery, all instrument lights, radio, lights are OK, but when I turn the key there's one loud click. Details: -xenon lights, relatively fresh factory xenon bulbs -automatic transmission, paddle shifters behind steering wheel -parking sensors, auto dimming mirrors, rear oem privacy shade -Harmon Kardon factory system, upgraded Boston Acoustics speakers in front doors (impedance matched) -when I first bought the car I installed sound deadening materials inside doors, trunk and rear parcel shelf. I am an adult, and this was done purely as a project to try to quiet the interior down and not for some blasting music competition -self powered Infinity Basslink subwoofer installed in trunk (small unit tucked away in trunk next to drivers rear wheel) -moonroof (note: opens halfway and gets stuck on something), motor is just fine, this is an obstruction on the rail somewhere -I had high end all season tires on all four wheels. One went flat, and I purchased a replacement off ebay (in trunk). All four tires should match and not be worn down -Akebono premium dust free brake pads installed (car will need new rotors due to storage) but pads likely have life left. This car was serviced by an indie mechanic in New York and more recently by Precision Motorsport in NJ. The guy who runs that shop is a SAAB guy, I spent thousands. A photo of one of the more recent bills is attached, $1,100 that visit alone. Here is a non-exhaustive service history (whatever I can recall): -before being put into storage car had tensioner, belts and pulley's replaced. -before being put into storage car had oil pan dropped PCV update installed and my indy removed any and all beginning signs of sludge (it was one of those you might as well do it while I have it up there situations). -car always received fully synthetic Mobil. -I was a big proponent of the drain and fill every 5K miles or so. I kept the fluid in the Asin/Warner box pink and as a result the transmission was in really great shape. -at some point front and rear shocks were replaced -front end bits and pieces should be relatively new as well tie rods -front wheel bearings replaced (both, probably incorrect self/internet diagnosis, but now they're new) -engine mounts replaced recently as well -fuel pump went at some point, replaced at indy -I never had a problem with the turbo, it is the one thing on this car that has been bulletproof. I did replace the blow-off valve once but that's just piping and I think it was a preventative type thing. -ignition cassette installed is the newer 3.7TKI updated edition -all radiator hoses, cooling flush, etc... I remember paying an arm and a leg for this as well prior to storage. -check the bill photo for more. there were many, many other mechanic bills... just didn't save them all. -replaced master brake cylinder with used part off ebay this is the ONLY part anywhere which shows signs of light rust. When you open the hood it will catch a trained eye, but it's just how the replacement came. I reside in NJ, this car is stored in Englewood Cliffs and is not a Sandy car (just putting it out there). I think the elevation here is a good 500 feet. -clear title I will be posting more pictures and details when I go check up on the car (in office complex). I don't know if the battery will allow me to turn the car on to double check the mileage but I believe it is +/- 5K. If you can do you own labor, this IS the deal for you. Please, ask questions, I am more happy to answer them all. Nobody buys a 10 year old car in great condition, they all need work whether it is disclosed or not. Luckily, the stuff here is not transmission/engine critical, just backyard mechanic stuff. New belts, pulleys, tensioner, and sludge free pan/oil system is heart of the car and those are the items which are expansive when they fail. New brakes, brake bleed, CV boots, starter, battery, fluids, a car wash and this guy should be back on the road.

If you have a question, by all means ask and I'd be happy to answer. There's well over two hundred views and it is heavily watched. I know you guys aren't watching it for its scrap metal value. :) On Dec-23-13 at 06:33:03 PST, seller added the following information: PICTURES ADDED!On Dec-23-13 at 06:48:26 PST, seller added the following information: PICTURES ADDED!
