I had ALL intentions of keeping this car as my driver....but....as usual....I came across another vehicle. So...this car is ready to go!! I've logged over 2000 miles to ensure it's reliabilty. Winter. Spring. Summer. This car has proven to be THE stellar vehicle. And yes....a TRUE 30mpg even with the AC on during my roadtrips! Super fun car. I've roadtripped it to Michigan...5 hours each way...TWICE and scored 30-31 MPG!! Cruising 70-80mph with the cruise set....no problem. The exterior is an EASY 9.5 out of 10. NO dings...really...no dings. ZERO rust or dents. And only a little clearcot flake on the front bumper cover in a couple (as in 2) spots. I can count on one hand the amount of scratches and scuffs. I'm no bodyman but I can't see any signs of a major repaint or bodywork altho the service receipt states the rear bumper cover was repainted. Perfectly matching and done thru the dealership. Honestly above is the ONLY exterior blemishes....the few rockchips, the headlight wiper blade missing and the left lower driving light lens is damaged, yet it still lights up as you can see. It's been like this the entire time I've had it. Odd..but I can say it....NO DINGS OR DENTS to be found on the car. None. Zero Rust. Sorting thru the dealer receipts, I found a rear bumper cover repaint. Which is odd because the rear cover looks factory, yet the front has a couple clearcoat spot flake. Nothing horrible but there. Below you can see the 80+% tread on the Bridgestone matching tires at every corner on damage free vibration free rims! Paint looks justlikenew2u!! NO dings. NO dents. NO rust to be found. Top is gorgeous. Glass is great. Top is perfect. No cuts or tears or blemishes. Rear glass, perfect. The body is near perfect in every fashion. Only a NEW car is better. This car's low mileage and one owner history makes it the BEST buy on eBay!! All the exterior lighting works 100%. No worries. No issues. Below is the ridiculous 9+ out of 10 interior. I really can't point out anything worth deducting points from. A few leather scuffs. Teeny tiny carpet stains....but nothing...NOTHING to complain about. I hate smoke and can't see or smell any signs of a former smoker. Carpet is excellent. Leather is near perfect. No wear, cuts or tears. Panels look great. Dash is perfect. Console has a couple faded spots but nice. Steering wheel and shifter is perfect. Even the dash pixels are nice altho there are still a few dead ones. Obviously it had the RED accents making it a special edition model. Headliner is perfect. Nothing flopping around or falling down. ALL the dummy lights illuminate upon starup with NONE staying on during run. NEVER had a light pop on during my tenure either. All gauges work properly. ALL the glass is nice and damage free. Dash is perfect below. Couple tiny pixels out in the info panel but minor that you can still read properly. ALL the power items work as they should: cruise, power seating, heated seating, climate control, hot heat, ICE COLD AC, AM,FM,CD player with power antenna, power windows, locks, convertible top works perfectly, info panel, mirrors, OnStar, Traction Control, etc. Rear seating looks awesone. Complete floormats are matching and near perfect condition. Unseen is the complete spare setup, aired up for your trip home. Even the factory cupholder is intact and working. Below you can see the pile of dealer serviced receipts. Tire changes, oil changes, major repairs, etc. ALL there for you to read up. Above the factory compliment of manuls are intact and seemingly complete. Only ONE working key/keyfob. Below is the driver's visor flap and hte rear convertible hatch door. Engine compartment is as clean as a whistle. I didn't even touch this area since it was so clean when I got it. Factory SAAB battery backs up dealer servicing. Fires engine right up and runs perfectly. with the strong SAAB battery. No noises, knocking, etc. Clutch feels normal and grabs perfeclty. Transmission is perfect. No grinding in any gear. Suspension is noise free. No popping, rattles or squeaks. Teeny tiny oil sweat at the drain plug. Time for a new ring seal next oil change. Absolutely zero leaks otherwise (no oil or coolant). No overheating. Plugs are fine. Brakes are all around near new. Only a tiny light front pulse...randomly....not consistent. No grinding. Stops on a dime. Parking brake works properly. Turbo spools nicely with no noises. Car drives straight over any pavement with no unusual pulling or wandering. Convertible top operates perfectly. See pics below, but the top pump/shocks are dry as a bone. No leaking, no sluggishness. No issues. No worries. Inspect my feedbacks. Clean title and paperwork in hand. BID, BUY, and DRIVE ANYWHERE with 100% CONFIDENCE!! NO RESERVE!! GOOD LUCK!! No top pump leaks. Not even sweating or wet. NO....I didn't just wipe it clean either....
