1991 SAAB 900 CONVERTIBLE COUPE

I bought the car about 6 years ago.  The car was last registered in 2009.  I have kept the car covered with a car cover, in a covered carport, until about two months ago, when I moved it to its current location.  I was going to restore the car and give it to my wife, but both she and I have been sick, so I never got around to working on it. 

The car runs well but it is not perfect.  Please see, “PROBLEMS,”  below.

I do not see colors well, but I believe that the color in the pictures is less gold/champagne than the car actually is.

The car has an automatic transmission.

This car is not a turbo. 

When I bought the SAAB, (about 6 years ago), the previous owner told me that the top was new, and that it had not been involved in any accidents.  I believe that the previous owner replaced the original radio with an upgraded radio, but I am not certain of this.

After buying the car, I had the car professionally painted. The remaining repairs seemed to me to be cosmetic and/or minor, with the exception of the transmission, which is slightly slipping.  I do not know how to repair that or what is needed to repair it.

I have not been involved in any accidents in the car.  Other than the prior owner telling me that the car had not been in any accidents prior to my purchase, I do not know if the car was in any accidents prior to my purchasing it.

The engine seems fine.  It is not leaking or burning oil.  The car runs well and seems to have a lot of power.  The engine seems fairly quiet.  I guarantee that the engine will pass a smog test. 

I am not aware of any electrical problems.

The suspension seems good to me.

The wheels are real, (not hub-caps).

I have not seen any rust or dry-rot.

I am providing clear title to the vehicle.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

PROBLEMS: 

INTERIOR:  There are cosmetic issues on the interior, and I have shown some, but not all, of those issues in the pictures.  The issue includes rips, tears, curling, and missing pieces(s).  There are several narrow cracks in the top of the dashboard.  Pieces of the burl wood type cover on the dash are torn or missing.

CONVERTIBLE TOP:  When I bought the car, the previous owner told me that the top had just been replaced.  I later noticed that there was a piece of tape at the bottom of the rear window.  I do not know why and I have left it there.  I also noticed that one seam has opened a bit.  You can see the tape and the seam in the pictures.

TRANSMISSION:  The transmission is slightly slipping. 


TIRES and WHEELS:  A wheel alignment is needed.  The front passenger side tire should be replaced immediately

OTHER PROBLEMS:  There may be other problems that I do not know about, and there are likely other rips, chips, and tears on the interior, but I have put the problems that I know about in this auction information.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


The car is located in the Valley Glen area, (formerly a part of Van Nuys), of the San Fernando Valley, in Los Angeles, California:

If you are in the Southern California area:  You are welcome to come and see the car.  Please e-mail me to set-up a date and time.

If you are out of the area and want to transport the car:  If you purchase the car and want to arrange for the transportation, I will cooperate with the transport company to get the car to you, but you will have to pay for the transportation and you will be responsible for the car while it is in the process of being transported.  The car does not have current tags, so I cannot drive it on the street.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other than guaranteeing that the car will pass a smog test, the car is Sold AS-IS WHERE-IS.  No warranty and/or guarantees of any kind, (other than passing a smog test).  Car is running.  The car is not smoking or leaking.  Clear CA title on-hand.

I will accept a bank checks, personal checks, cash, and/or Pay-Pal.

Title and possession will not pass until after full payment has cleared.  Title and possesion will pass at the time the car is picked-up.

A $500 deposit must be paid within 24 hours of winning this auction. 

The car must be picked-up within 10 days of full payment clearing. 

If the car is not picked-up within 10 days of full payment clearing, commencing on the 11th day after full payment has cleared, I will charge $10 a day storage for each of the next 30 days.  Storage charges must be paid prior to title and possession passing to buyer.

If the car is not picked-up within 40 days of full payment clearing, then I will return any monies that I have received over the $500 deposit and the $300 for storage, and I will sell the car to someone else.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE CONACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEFORE YOU BUY THIS CAR.

IF YOU WANT A PICTURE OF A PARTICULAR AREA, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, AND I WILL TAKE THE PICTURE AND POST IT TO THIS E-BAY AUCTION.

Thank you.

Nicolas Cage flogs Saab-based Senova from Beijing Auto [w/video]

Mon, 13 May 2013

BAIC has officially pulled the covers off of its new Senova D Series sedan for China. The four-door is based on the old Saab 9-5 and boasts a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. Local buyers can get their hands on the machine for around $22,745 at current conversion rates. Other engine options include a turbocharged 1.8-liter four cylinder as well as turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder, and a wide range of safety equipment comes standard on every trim except the very base model. Those goodies include a tire pressure monitoring system, active head restraints, blind spot detection, driver fatigue detection and parking sensors.
The Senova nameplate serves every model based on former Saab architectures, including the Epsilon, GM2900 and GM2400 platforms as well as engine and transmission tech. In order to promote its new products, BAIC has hired Hollywood staple Nicolas Cage to serve as the company's brand ambassador. Cage stars in the Senova-heavy Town of Car Legends action-packed video short (directed by Olivier Megaton of Transporter 3 and Taken 2 fame) which you can view by scrolling below.

NEVS to build new Saab models in China's Qingdao

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

National Electric Vehicle Sweden has officially signed a deal with Qingdao Qingbo Investment Company that will see the NEVS build EVs in Qingdao, China. The move is the first step on the road toward eventually selling vehicles in China. Reuters reports that the Chinese company has agreed to invest $307.33 million, after which point Qingdao Qingbo will receive 22 percent of the NEVS shares. Currently, there's no word on exactly when the funds and shares will change hands, but the Swedish automaker has previously said it fully intends to launch its first EV by early 2014.
NEVS has also made waves about potentially building a version of the old Saab 9-3 with a traditional internal combustion driveline. Currently, the manufacturer says it plans to ship the vehicles it builds in Sweden to the Qingdao port and distribute them to the rest of China from there. Later down the line, a manufacturing facility in Qingdao will supply the country with Chinese-built Saab models.

NEVS announces 200 layoffs as it says Saab restart will 'take time'

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

For a fleeting moment a few weeks ago, the news from Saab-owner National Electric Vehicle Sweden appeared almost positive. The company had its reorganization plan approved (a day after it was denied), and the automaker was actually showing a real, running vehicle, albeit one with a top speed of 75 miles per hour. But those tiny crumbs of potential goodness have been swept away because NEVS has announced layoffs of as many as 200 factory employees in September "due to lack of work."
Workers probably shouldn't get too eager to return to the factory either, because company's "decision to re-start production will be further delayed" by an unspecified amount of time, NEVS says in a press release. To begin assembling cars again, the company needs to find long-term funding and a new majority owner. Those seem like two very steep hurdles for the embattled automaker to clear.
Despite not producing cars since May, NEVS still claims it's negotiating with a new owner, possibly Mahindra, but according to Reuters, the Swedish company owes about 400 million kronor ($56 million) to creditors. According to its layoff announcement, getting rid of these workers is one step in the business' reorganization plan to be presented on October 8. Scroll down to read its full release.
