My sister in law asked me to find her a nice safe car for very little money. I found this one for her. I chose it over all the other Saab 9000s because the interior was much better than the others I looked at, it remains in this condition. The seats are nice leather in good shape by my standards and considering the age of the car, please look at the photos. Additionally, the person we got it from told us that everything had been fixed on it and it had signs of maintenance. It has been about 2 years since and my sister in law fixed all the remaining known problems and recently added new tires. Overall, this car is in good shape, please look at the photos. Please keep in mind that this is a 17 year old car. If you want perfect, please buy a new car. I feel it is better than most of this vintage (please look at the pictures to make your own assessment. When you drive this car, it feels solid and has good power. We just checked the oil at the end of 5000 miles and the oil still looks clean! I have heard of these engines going 400,000 when maintained. She uses this car every day. There are only four issues on the negative side that we know about. The first is that there is an after market radio in it that very rarely works. The second is that there is a tooth missing or compromised in either the starter motor or the flywheel because every other start it makes this clurrunggg noise when you start it. But, it always starts. It is an annoying issue that my mechanic suggests we ignore. Third, the driver side heated seat no longer works. Finally the check engine light is on, but our mechanic checked it out and said that it is a false reading and that they are too sensitive. Our mechanic is famous on the west coast for Saabs and has taken care of all of our Saabs. He told us that it was a good car and we should not sell it. As this car is used every day and is 17 years old, another small issue may come up during this auction, but there are really no major concerns at this time. My sister in law came into some money recently. She wants a newer car and asked me to sell this one. I have tried my best to describe this car as it is. If you have any questions please ask them before the end of the auction. If you live near Corvallis Oregon and would like to see the car please send me a way to contact you and you can come see the car either in Corvallis or Coos Bay (it goes back and forth for work a lot). $500 due within 24 hours of the end of the auction. Happy Bidding.
