A glitch with my computer just saved you a TON of money!! This is a NO RESERVE auction. Cash in. I actually had this car sold to my best friend because he and his family were moving north. But he chose an Audi A4 Quattro instead. This blue beauty is ready for you! The car is easily a 9 out of 10 exterior! No visible rust. I can count the dings on one hand. No damages. No dents cept the small one below in the pics. Tires, altho mismatched brands, are in great condition. Easily 50-70%+ treadlife left. All ride on clean vibration free rims. Bumper covers look great with minimal chips, no major damages. Driving lights are intact but have seen better days. Hood and roof look great. Here's the ONE dent that has been touched up with semi matching paint. Barely noticable until you stare at it. The interior is easily a 9 out of 10. I HATE smoke and I cant smell any signs of a former smoker. The leather looks great. The panels look great. Carpet looks great. A little wear on the inside driver's door handle. Minimal wear, if any , on the driver's bolster. No noticable leather damages, cuts or tears. ALL the dummy lights come on during startup with NONE staying on during run. As you may or may not know, SAABs are a but finnicky in the electrical department. This car no different. NOTHING BAD!! Just the "info" panel....when you start the car you will get a random "Service Theft System" (which the car starts and drives and the keyless entry works perfectly) and even less common is the "check brake lights" which I have. There are no bulbs burnt out and all lighting works properly. From what I can tell ALL the power items work as they should:power windows, heated power seats, rear heated seating, locks, sunroof, mirrors, cruise is intermittent, traction control, AM/FM/CD/Tape (didn't test tape deck), etc. Only ONE other "issue" regarding the climate control...the 9-5 line has a common failure of a "flapper door arm" that essentially cracks and keeps the hot and cold from selecting. This car suffers from this and I don't have the time to pull panels, order the $25 repair kit (item #151450016443) and fix it..hence NO RESERVE!! As of now, you set the car for Air Conditioning and you get ice cold AC from the passenger side Defrost area. Set it for heat and you get HOT heat from nearly every point, namely the defrost area of the dash. This makes your winter very very effective. Come summer, hop online and order the flapper door kit and fix. Complete floormats (minus one of the fronts) and a nice rubber front/rear set are included. The complete spare setup is intact, aired up ready for your roadtrip!! Complete set of factory issued manuals are included along with one working key/keyfob. Hard to see but the original purchase receipt is included....$42,xxx+ original price!!!! Now you get to own the car for a FRACTION of the original price!! Pick a spot under the hood...eat off of it. Nearly new Duralast battery starts the engine effortlessly. Engine runs smoothly. Timing chain instead of a belt on this car, so no worries! Turbo is smooth and strong. Transmission shifts as it should. Fluids are clean. No signs of any major oil or coolant leaks to be found. No spots on my shop floor overnight. No overheating. Suspension is tight and noise free. No popping or squeaking. Brakes are strong, look to be recent, and will throw you thru the dash if needed. Car drives pretty straight with no unusual pulling or wandering on the road. No vibrations. Clean title and paperwork in hand ready to sell! BID, BUY, and DRIVE the car ANYWHERE with 100% CONFIDENCE!! I have driven this car for over 200 miles to ensure it's reliability.
