Vehicle Detail

You are bidding on a nice gently used 1998 Model 900 S Saab 2 Door Convertible. This is my wife's car. She bought it in February 2000 when it had 13K miles on it. She takes the train to work so she has not put a lot of miles on it. She has taken very good care of it over the years. With the exception of oil changes and swapping tires, it has almost always been factory serviced. She has a pile of service reports/receipts showing the history. The car has the following features:The car has always been garagedThe convertible tops works wellIt has the factory multi CD trayThe seats are leather and heatedThere are two binkys (or remote door openers) and a total of three keysThere are a set of snow tires (currently installed) along with the normal summer use tires. Snows are 205/55R16 M+S and the summer tires are 205/50R16 M+SThe car was just cleaned, washed and waxed. It looks great5 Speed manual transmission. The car is fast and I mean fast. It handles very well. My wife bought a 2011 BMW 328i and I firmly believe this Saab is a better car for driving and handling. Neither one of us smokes so it is a smoke free carThe original factory user manuals are included. Wait... there's more....the original Saab Helpful Hints cassette is included. The car has had the following work or parts replaced:Transmission replaced in 2013, replacement was a factory reconditioned dealer replacementClutch and slave cylinder in 2013Oil pan in 2013Convertible tonneau motor in 2011Serpentine belt and tensioner pulleys in 2011Brakes in 2007Radio 2005Muffler in 2003 The car has the following imperfections:The radio antenna sticks out of its well about 1 inch, not an issue, it works, just trying to be 100% transparent about any issuesThere is a spot of rust on the right rear fender, see picture. There are scrapes on the front bumperThere are scrapes on the rear bumper allegedly from husband scraping snow blower against carThe battery works great but if you leave the key in the ignition for more than a few minutes, it drains the battery. Give it 15 minutes rest and the car starts. It has been this way since the day we owned the car. Saab has no idea why. It is not an issue if you always remove the key from the ignition when not driving the car.The AC does not work. The compressor needs to be replaced. She did not want to put the money into the car so never fixed it. It is a convertible so why use AC?The front right tire has a slow leak. We think the tire needs to be reseated. The snows are on it now and the summer tires will need to be put on. That should take care of the leak. If the leak is still there, you will need to get a used rim. The rims have a few nicks and dings on themThere are the usual nicks and dings on the body for a car that is 16 years old. The convertible top has a few wear spots. It does NOT leak. See the pictures. All the service reports are includedThe leather seats are not torn but they have some cracks in the surface of the leather. See the pictures. This is a great little car. It has been well maintained. It is in good overall shape. There are no major issues. See list of imperfections above. You are bidding on a nice car that will be sorely missed by us.
