HERES THE DEAL : I HAD WHAT WAS A SLIGHT EXHAUST LEAK THAT I COULD BARELY HEAR , SO I DECIDED TO CHANGE THE MANIFOLD GASKET. (DUMB)  I BROKE OFF A STUD IN THE CYLINDER HEAD . I WASNT ABOUT TO PUT IT BACK TOGETHER WITH A GREATER EXHAUST LEAK, AND I JUST DONT WANT TO WORK ON IT IN THE COLD. I EVEN HAVE ANOTHER CYLINDER HEAD. 

I BOUGHT THIS CAR A YEAR AGO NOT RUNNING ON EBAY. IT HAS A WATER DAMAGE TITLE , BUT THE ONLY DAMAGE I COULD FIND WAS THE OIL PAN FULL OF ANTIFREEZE. I THINK SOMEBODY PULLED A FAST ONE ON THE INSURANCE , BECAUSE A BLOWN TIMING BELT DID THIS INTERFERENCE ENGINE IN. NEW BLEND MOTOR ON HEAT SYSTEM. 

I PUT A USED ENGINE WITH 75,000K MILES ON IT , REPLACED BRAKES ALL AROUND , AND HAVE A NEW STAINLESS CAT-BACK EXHAUST ON IT. (WITHIN 6 MONTHS.) K & N FILTER. THE CAR RUNS GREAT EXCEPT MY RECENT ADVENTURE. BODY IS IN GREAT SHAPE, NO RUST. A FEW SCRATCHES AND VERY SMALL DENTS. THERE ARE A FEW SCRATCHES.

Court extends Saab reorganization bid until end of November

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

Saab parent company National Electric Vehicle Sweden refuses to go down without a fight. After a recent trip to court, the company is emerging with an extension on its reorganization until November 29. According to Europe Online Magazine, there's also an appointed committee of creditors and union representatives to monitor NEVS' restructuring process.
NEVS still isn't giving up hope of saving itself, and the company claims there are has two potential strategies for getting back on its feet. The main plan is to "finalize the negotiations with the two Asian automotive manufacturers," according to a press release. Those firms still aren't identified, but Mahindra may be involved. According to Europe Online Magazine, one of the businesses is looking to take partial ownership of NEVS, and the other is considering some sort of cooperation with it.
If that plan fails, the second option is to take advantage of the factory and become a contract manufacturer.

3 former Saab execs charged with tax evasion

Mon, 20 May 2013

The 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.

What brands have Saab owners defected to? Polk investigates

Sun, 02 Sep 2012

When a brand goes belly-up, it's natural for analysts to wonder where that brand's consumers will turn. General Motors has mothballed more car brands the last decade than most other automakers' have in their entire portfolios, so "Where did [insert brand here] buyers go?" has been a common question asked of The General. According to reports, it didn't do so well at retaining Oldsmobile owners (who supposedly went to Hyundai), or Hummer and Saturn buyers, but did get some return love from Pontiac owners.
A consultant with Polk has turned the loyalty lens on Saab. The Polk Disposal Loyalty Methodology tracks owners selling vehicles within six months of buying a new one. In 2010 and 2011, Polk found that when Saab died, owners went right up the middle of the mainstream to Honda. It was close, though, with just 0.2 percent separating Honda from number two Volkswagen. Audi comes in third.
After that it's back to the masses with Toyota, Chevrolet and Ford trumping import luxury brands. And if you combine all of the General Motors brands that Saab owners have migrated to, GM more than doubles Honda with a 15.2-percent share, so all the love is not lost.
