Flood, Water Damage

Gasoline

This is a pretty good running SAAB . I was using it as a daily driver , but I quickly realized I needed a pickup for construction side work. I bought this car on EBAY from a gentleman that said it needed a starter, and he had no idea why it was a flood vehicle. I quickly realized it wouldn't start because the engine was full of antifreeze and the pistons were in pieces. ( interference engine )  I put a used engine with 75,000 miles on it, new timing belt, new stainless exhaust, head gasket, and new brakes. I also put a new blend motor on the HVAC system. Recent tune up. This car got me about 28-30 mpg average. The engine is a turbo and it has some get up and go.  The interior is in Ok condition, the previous owners dog chewed up the storage bin cover. ($50 on ebay)  No rust , a few scratches , and a few parking lot dents. The sunroof is a great feature and works great. The transmission shifts good, synthetic fluid. I have all receipts. I will sell this car with the timing tool ( $94) if it gets over $1500. The ac worked last summer. The LED on the radio needs replacing , a common SAAB issue.  If you are looking for a cheap car that is not some ugly brown taurus , looks good going down the road ( with a little pep) this is a good one for you .  Car comes AS-IS with no warranty . I have described everything that I know is wrong with it. I have receipts for the engine, exhaust, brakes etc. I just changed a camshaft gasket to sell. I do not have it registered , and I haven't been able to drive it long distances. If you buy it from far away, I would trailer it home just in case.
