This is a 2001 Saab 9-5 wagon. It has approximately 133,000 miles on it. I am the second owner of the car. The original owner was an elderly couple. They had it serviced at the dealer since it was new and kept service records. Records include routine oil changes (especially important for this particular engine), service based on factory recommendations, etc... It also had a brand new turbocharger installed less than 20,000 miles ago, at the dealership. That was several thousand dollars, and I have the receipt. They traded it in this past winter for a Cadillac, and I bought the car from the salesman who originally sold the car...he still works the dealer. I have had it since February. It has been my daily driver since I got it. The only reason I am selling it now is that at the end of July, a dealership made me an offer for a new car that I just couldn't refuse. Otherwise, I'd have kept it. The car runs and drives very well. It shows that it has been well kept. There are no check engine lights on. The interior is extremely clean, the leather is in great shape for its' age. The only sign of wear is fading on the drivers side bolster where you slide in. You'll see it in the picture. But there are no rips or tears. Dash is outstanding. The body is in good shape for a car of it's age and mileage. It has some scratches, but no big dents or rust or anything like that. It runs and drives great, but please understand it is 12, nearly 13, years old. The a/c does not work. I'm not sure why. It has a charge in it, I checked. I found that a fuse under the hood had been pulled. I put a new fuse in. The a/c then worked for 5 minutes, then stopped. The fuse didn't blow, but I'm not sure what the problem is. Relay perhaps? There must be something wrong with the factory alarm, because when you start the car, the display says "Service alarm", but I just press the "clear" button and turn the warning off. I'm guessing the battery is dead. One of the headlight wipers is disconnected, I presume it doesn't work, but never cared to check. The car has the 2.3L engine, and it has been checked/cleaned for the common sludge issues these engines have (I have that receipt). Heated seats, both front and rear. Sunroof, power everything. I have the original window sticker. It is inspected through March 2014. I just realized that you can see a wire in a few of the interior pictures. That's my satellite radio wire, I forgot to remove it. It's not moutned permanently or wired into the car at all (just plugs into the cigarette lighter). Please no trades, I have enough cars. I will answer any questions you have. I reserve to end the auction early, as the car is for sale locally.
