I've had this classic Saab since 1999. It was my dream car since college and I've had many great years with it. Runs and Drives Great, Everything works except cruise control - the AC blows cold (refitted with 134a), the power antenna goes up, it has the original Clarion cassette with EQ, I replaced the speakers a few years ago. All power windows go up and down, the top works perfectly, including the drivers side heated seat I installed. It also comes with the aftermarket boot cover and carrying case. I bought the car in 1999 with 93K miles. It now has 130K. Low miles for it's age. I just installed a new battery and fuel pump. The top was replaced about 5 years ago, the windshield was replaced in 2001, less than 5K miles on new tires, the leather is original and in good shape except the drivers seat that I recovered with a donor passenger seat from a 9000 about 5 years ago. I upgraded to the SPG style performance body kit and wheels to give it the sportier SPG look and burled walnut dash cover. All in all it's a nice looking car and shows pride of ownership but it also shows its years in places. The paint was faded and cracked on the hood and trunk. I repainted them but it's not the best prep job. It also has normal wear for it's age; chips, scratches a ding on the passenger door (see picture) and the clear coat on the bumpers has faded a bit. It would really look sharp with a new coat of paint. It has newer carpeted mats but the original carpet is worn on the drivers side and shows its age in places. The dash has some cracks. The fuel gauge and speedo work but they jump around a bit. I've stored it inside for most of it's time in my care with the exception of last year. My father passed away and we had to make room in the garage for stuff we were clearing out of his house. The power steering fluid had a slow leak last time I drove it but it seems fine now. The NADA Classic retail for this car ranges from $4425 to $10,100 and they're starting to go up in value. I wish I could keep it but I just have to much stuff. I need to make room and let someone else enjoy this timeless Swedish classic. This is a great car in original condition with some nice added upgrades. It needs nothing to be a dependable daily driver and a fun summer car. It's not a show car by any means. If you have any questions or need additional information please let me know before you bid. This car retailed $29,740 in 1988 and is still a lot of car for the money. This car is listed on craigslist locally so I reserve the right to end this auction early in accordance to ebay terms if the vehicle sells.
