Hi there, I have for sale my grandfathers' '89 SAAB Turbo Convertible.This Saab has been in storage for the past 2 years due to health problems. After sitting 2 years we charged the battery and unsurprisingly she started right up (Saabs always start), after which we drove from Pa down to southwestern Va approx. 300 miles without issue. The engine was replaced about 3 years ago with one from a wrecked Saab turbo (rear end) with only 117k on the clock. The engine is strong and pulls well, the tranny is smooth but does have some trouble with quick shifts into 2nd, otherwise she stays in all gears including 2nd. The Clutch slave cylinder was also replaced with the engine 3 years ago. There is not really any additional mileage added after the work was done, again this was stored for the last 2 years. The top is in good shape with no tears and the power motor for the top does work very well. The interior is in fair shape, as most leather interiors found in older Convertibles, the leather has worn on one side of the drivers seat but over all there are no large rips or tears. The dash has a couple of cracks as do almost all classic 900s nowadays. The issues on this Saab are not major and can be corrected with ease. There is some rust on the corners of the hood near the turbo badges as well as a couple of small spots of rust just starting on the lower part of the front finders and drivers door. The Frame is in good shape. The master Cylinder has only just began to loose pressure while holding the brake on a hill, otherwise the car does not pull to any one side. The tires are fair as is the paint which still shines. The power windows do work but they are a bit slow, maybe a bad ground or just in need of some lube. Also there is a dent on the drivers side rear fender on the top corner, as well as a small crack in the bottom left hand corner of the windshield. The only other problem with this Saab is the key tumbler, which has worn out, so the ignition switch must be turned with a screw driver but this is an easy fix, and I am willing to install the new parts minus the costs for them (ignition switch only) as this does require a special tool which I have. This is a no reserve auction highest bid wins. As I stated before this Saab needs some work but is still a rather easy fix and can be on the road in time for spring. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me anytime and I'll be happy to help. Thanks again for your time and happy bidding.
