2008 Saab 9-3 Aero Convertible Perfect Condition, Like New. Over $58k New. Super low milage. Upgraded to 285hp (stock is 260hp). This car is absolutely gorgeous and a blast to drive. I would not even think about selling it, except that my wife just approved my plan (yes, I need approval) to buy a Maserati (has always been my dream car). I have owned TONs of sports cars over the years, and the Saabs have always been some of my favorites. It took me forever to find a V6 Aero (not the 2010/11 4cyl Aero) in Fusion Blue Metallic. The color on this car is amazing and always gets compliments. You don't see many of the V6 Aero's, especially in this condition. Best of all, this car is a rocket, one of the smoothest cars I have ever driven, and I've driven everything from a Maserati to BMW's & Audi's. There seems to be no limit to it's top end pull, at least no limit I ever want to get close to. It rides like a dream in all situations, but it is exceptionally (as in it will really "wow" you) quiet and smooth at higher speeds (highway). And with the top up, you would swear you were in a coupe. I'm a car enthusiast/collector and always go out of my way to describe a car's condition down to the most minute detail. In this case however, it's pretty easy: Perfect! It looks perfect, it drives perfect, it smells perfect, tires and wheels are perfect, everything works perfectly. No complaints whatsoever. Still has the new car scent. It is not driven in the rain, and I keep it in a climate controlled garage. The car is as clean inside and underneath as it is on the outside. I use the car more as a special occasion/weekender than anything else; it has never been a daily driver. Feature wise, this car has everthing....Bluetooth; power everthing; turning headlights; rain sensing wipers; parking sensors; triple insulated power top; heated seats; both power seats, 6-disk, mp3 input, rubber floor mats, tinted windows, etc. etc. Couple of my favorite features are putting the top down from the key fob and when you pull the seat up to let someone in the back, the power seat moves all the way forward. Also, it has 3 memory spots that store seat position, mirrors, ect. for 3 different drivers. Warranty/Free Maintenance: The car still has one free full Saab service left that is scheduled for July 2011. Its a pretty extensive service, not just and oil change. Then is has 2 years remaining on the bumper to bumper warranty after that. Upgrades: I have 2 complaints with this car in pure stock form (as does the automotive press): 1) performance wise, it could do a little better & 2) those cheap interior door handles. Well, this car has dealer installed Hirsch upgraded leather door/ebrake/smart slot handles and a 285hp ECU program upgrade. Gone is the annoying plastic creak of the stock handles, and performance wise.....wow! It's like a totally different car. I still average around 24-26mpg, but the car just feels so much better. It shifts right, pull right and is just and all around fantastic sport car. Extras: Saab factory car cover with Saab logo. Saab rubber floor mats, as well as the carpet floor mats. Lumar Lifetime Guaranteed Tinted Windows PPC Tuning Module allows you to tune (285hp), de-tune car (260hp), and download updates Also, if you need car seats, email me and for $150 more you can have 2 SAAB factory car seats made especially for this car. My wife made me order them from Sweden and they were expensive! If not, I don't mind keeping them, because they will be perfect for my next car. Feel free to email me with any questions and good luck. You will not be disappointed with this car. I am going to miss it. 05-27-11 Per request, extra pictures are up and videos can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvfrKkY4DkY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BESnBTO2tg
