2002 Saab 9-3 Se 2.0l Turbo Convertible Needs Motor on 2040-cars
Bushkill, Pennsylvania, United States

Hi, I purchased this car knowing there was motor problems. It was such a nice looking car I couldn't pass it up. I actually bought it to fix and give it to my daughter to commute to school but she is changing schools and doesn't need it. I drove the car for about 100 miles and the motor gave up, one of the rods shot through the bottom of the engine. A big plus with this car is the 8th letter in the title is a "K" which means this car has a high pressure motor that gives you more hp than a regular 2.0 engine. For the miles that I drove it everything seemed fine. The tranny seemed to be shifting fine, brakes seemed good, no pulling in the front, tires seem like they are wearing normal in the front and no shaking on the highway. All the options work perfect and the time I spent in the car there was no problems with any of the buttons. Headlight wipers work, convertible top works with ease, ( I was really impressed how the top goes down) Also,in the trunk you have the option to tie up the the convertible storage box up when your not using it for more storage space. Tires are in fair shape and the spare tire looks like it was never used. It does have new mats that came with the car but they don't look like the original ones. Also, when I got it home and scraped off the dealer writing on the windshield I noticed a pebble ding on the windshield. I may have one to give you if you purchase the car, I have to pick it up in NY. The miles are pretty good for the year, there are some scratches, dings and dents on the passenger rear quarter panel, they could probably be banged out from the inside of the trunk. I hope I told you everything and I will post pictures of the known problems so there are no surprises. I am trying to explain everything honestly and the best of my ability. Please, if you have any questions feel free to ask. Also if you need to see a picture of something I could send you one. If you purchase this vehicle you are responsible to pick it up, have a towing service or If its not too, too far I can deliver it for a fee.....Thanks for looking!

3 former Saab execs charged with tax evasion
Mon, 20 May 2013The Associated Press reports three former Saab executives have been arrested on charges of accounting fraud. Swedish prosecutor Olof Sahlgren has refused to identify the individuals, but says they're suspected of attempting to evade taxes by falsifying Saab accounts between 2010 and 2011 during the Spyker years. Other reports indicate the parties involved include former General Counsel to Saab Kristina Geers (seen to the left of former CEO Victor Muller, above), a 15-year-veteran of the company - her husband, Eric, was the company's communications director for 9 years as well.
Saab filed for bankruptcy in 2011, and was purchased shortly thereafter by National Electric Vehicle Sweden. If convicted, the trio could face up to four years in prison for their crimes under Swedish law.
Spyker files $3 billion lawsuit against General Motors over Saab's demise
Mon, 06 Aug 2012"Smack." That's the sound of Spyker's process server dropping a big ol' pile of legal documents on the doorstep of The Renaissance Center, home of General Motors - or wherever GM's attorneys live during business hours. Contained therein is a Complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan and demanding a jury trial, that seeks $3 billion in damages due to "the unlawful actions GM took to avoid competition with Saab Automobile in the Chinese market." Spyker accuses GM of "tortiously interfering" with Saab's business relationship with Chinese automaker Zhejiang Youngman Lotus Automobile (Youngman), actions that Spyker CEO Victor Muller (above) said "deliberately drove Saab Automobile into bankruptcy."
(From Wikipedia: "Tortious interference, also known as intentional interference with contractual relations, in the common law of torts, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff's contractual or other business relationships.")
The interference in question specifically refers to the very last potential deal, called the Framework Agreement, that Spyker worked out with Youngman. With lots of GM engineering embedded into the 9-4X and 9-5, The General had the right to approve any Saab partnership that would involve the transfer of GM intellectual property. Spyker had been rebuffed over every previous deal with a Chinese firm, including two bids by Youngman, due to GM concerns over its IP getting into Chinese hands and having to face Chinese-market competitors using its technology. The Complaint alleges that the Framework Agreement would have put a firewall around all GM IP - Youngman would only work on Saab's Phoenix platform, said to be just about free of GM tech, and would have no access to 9-3, 9-4X or 9-5 technology until after Saab ceased all ties to GM.
GM recalling 250,000 SUVs over door electronics
Mon, 20 Aug 2012After a door-fire investigation that dates back to February, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially announced a recall today that affects around 250,000 General Motors SUVs for a faulty driver's door module. The recall applies to the Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Isuzu Ascender and Saab 9-7X from the 2006 and 2007 model years, as well as the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL for vehicles sold and/or registered in the Snow Belt.
Road salt use in these midwestern and northern states can lead to corrosion of the driver's door module on these GMT360 and GMT370 vehicles, which allows water to come in contact with the circuit board. If shorted out, the vehicle's power door locks and power windows will not work, and could possibly lead to overheating and, in some circumstances, a fire. No official word on how many total vehicles caught on fire, but back in June, 28 fires had been reported to the government agency. A fix for the problem is still being worked out, but all affected vehicle owners will be notified by GM.
