Vehicle Detail
Summary This is possibly the nicest original condition 1997 Saab 900 sedan for sale in the country. With less than 60k miles, this is also the lowest mileage Saab 900 S sedan of its body-style (1994-2002) nationwide. Ownership History I bought this car in 2010 from a dealer with a low 32,000 miles. I was told that the original owner was a college professor, and as such did not use the car very often. In the time that I owned this car, I used it first with my commute from Orange County to Los Angeles for work (approx. 80+ miles per day) for the first year, so the majority of the current miles are due to highway driving. Roughly a year later, I moved closer to the job and only had about a 8 mile round trip in West LA. Vehicle Description (Detailed) Exterior The exterior is in very good condition for a 16+ yr. old car. During the time I've owned the car, it has always been garaged both at work and at night. That being said, it does have the normal wear and tear of a car that has been driven (rock chips, small dings, etc.). There are several small dings on both sides of the car. The car is a great "ten footer", in other words it looks perfect from 10 feet, but upon closer inspection it could use a good full detail and buffing. I've been told that could get out the "cloudiness" from what looks like hard water marks. Interior The interior is near perfect. Please reference the pictures for greater detail. Literally the only "problem" I can see is it looks like there is a small (size of a pen) two spots where it literally looks like a red pen broke. Other than that everything looks like new which is extremely rare. Dash is without cracks, all options work properly, and the seats look new. The only other complaint I have is the radio, or rather the speakers, is somewhat insufficient by today's standards. Didn't bother me much, as I wasn't playing much music, mostly AM radio on a long commute. Mechanical The car has been extremely reliable as an affordable driver with very few repairs beyond normal maintenance. I've taken a photo of all the work receipts since my ownership. All work with the exception of oil changes, was either performed by a Saab specialist or by the dealer in LA. The car has had brakes done within 20k miles, and is up-to-date on oil changes and is topped off with fluids. I was told the muffler has a small hole, but does not impact drivability and it passed CA Smog in Oct. 2012 with a clean bill of health. Since then, the car has only been driven 3K miles, so no change in status. The matching tires and donut spare tire are all BRAND NEW, they have less than 1,000 miles on them.
