2000 Saab 9-3

2.0L 4 Cylinder Gasoline Fuel Turbocharged

Automatic

YS3DD78H8Y7000414

This vehicle has essentially been sitting in my garage for the past year. The vehicle runs and the engine runs very strong with no weird noises or obvious problems although it does leak a little oil. It's a very fun car to drive (especially in the summer) and has nice turbo-charged power. However, just got vehicle out of shop and it is in need of the following. - A new transmission (as I stated, the vehicle is drivable, but I'm told that a new trans will be needed shortly)- new oil seal between the transmission and the engine (easy to do when replacing transmission)- new battery- the convertible top while in great shape (no rips, no fading), can only be raised and lowered manually and most likely needs a new hydraulic control unit. Not a hyd pump.- parking brake cable- cruise control is inoperative (not sure if it's a fuse or something more complicated)- fog lights need to be replaced.- the passenger front leather seat has small rips in the leather (see photo)- CD player works, but the radios auto tune feature and display are unreadable so you have to "hunt and search" All told, the approximate costs of these repairs is in the neighborhood of $3500.00 to $4000.00 US. I'm placing this vehicle on eBay in hopes that it will be purchased by a used parts supplier. ALL SHIPPING/TRANSPORTATION COSTS ARE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER. I am available by email to respond to any questions regarding the condition and purchase of this vehicle. Additional photos will be provided upon request.

I am available by email to respond to any questions regarding the condition and purchase of this vehicle. Additional photos will be provided upon request. Due to the number of questions received regarding the transmission and engine, I am willing to shoot a short video with sound of the car running and I'm sure the transmission problem will be reproduced in the video. I wanted to put video in the original ad, but didn't see a way to do this. If anyone would like to take me up on this, please send me a message with your email.
