Saab 9-3 (2008)
for sale

Price: US $8,625.00

Description:

This is a one-owner 2008 9-3 Aero. It has spent its entire life in the mild climate of the beach cities of Southern California. I bought the car brand new from Saab of Beverly Hills in Sept. 2008. It has the cold weather and touring packages. The color is Snow Silver with black leather interior. I am a huge Saab fan and have taken impeccable care of this car. It has a clear California title. The 2008 9-3 Aero model is highly sought after as it's the only year that you can get a facelifted V6 9-3 in FWD (2009 Aero is XWD only, and 2010-2011 Aeros are 4-cylinder).
I have every single maintenance receipt from when the car was brand new. It's been unbelievably reliable in the 6+ years that I've owned it. The only big ticket item of note is the thermostat which was replaced around 10K ago. I also replaced the water pump at the same time as preventative maintenance.
The car has a V-Tune on it. It is currently running Rev-1, and I have the file for Rev-2, but have not applied it. Included with the sale is the stock file, VTuner REV1 file (currently running), and the VTuner REV2 file. I am keeping the hardware interface, as I will eventually end up buying a 2010-2011 9-5 Aero.
Other recent maintenance:
- Oil change @ 142, 500 w/ Mobil 1 0W40. Oil has always been changed every 7500 miles with Mobil 1 0W40 full synthetic.
- Tires just rotated and balanced (Pirelli P-Zero Neros with plenty of life left)
- Replaced passenger side headlight washer jet
- Replaced rear window rubber gasket
- Replaced both daytime running lights
- New battery
- Brakes are all new as of 107K (pads and rotors). Currently 90% F/R.
- Koni FSD shocks installed around 110K.
Other maintenance of note:
- Transmission fluid changed every 30K miles.
- Air filter changed every 30K
- Cabin filter changed every 30K
- Fuel pressure sensor and MAP sensor around 120K
The car has been serviced exclusively by Saab of Beverly Hills (techs from Saab of Santa Monica), Right Solution (Walter Wong), and Swedecar (Anders). Everything works on the car. The LED headlight eyebrows and three amber LED lights in the headlights all work perfectly (see pics). The leather gets conditioned twice a year, and the car is regularly hand washed and detailed. I have also installed an iPod adapter, which allows for full iPod control from the factory stereo. The car has the Bose Centerpoint audio system.
There are only two maintenance items of note (which my mechanic didn't even refer to as leaks, just wetness). The first is at the driver's side axle seal. It's been there since 60K and has not gotten any worse. The car has never been low on transmission fluid because of it. This is a very common thing with these cars. The second is a banjo bolt at the coolant pipe at the turbo. This is also very common for these cars and my mechanic said it is much too small to worry about fixing just yet.
Cosmetically both the interior and exterior are in excellent shape. The only items of note are a very small amount of curb rash on the two passenger side wheels (see pics). I have a brand new bottle of touchup paint that will go with the car.
I have both keys, all manuals, and the original window sticker as well.
Cashier's check, money order, cash, or a bank check (if financing) will be the only accepted forms of payment. I cannot accept a personal check. All checks must clear my bank account before the title will be released.
The car can be seen locally in Manhattan Beach. The car is also listed locally and, as such, I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car is sold outside of eBay. Shipping and all associated costs are the responsibility of the buyer, however I will be happy to assist logistically to get the car shipped. Manhattan Beach is 10 minutes away from LAX airport, and I would be happy to meet you at the airport if you would like to fly in and drive it home.
Vehicle is sold as-is with no warranty expressed or implied.
These cars are extremely hard to find, and not many of them were produced. Don't miss your chance at a one-owner, perfectly maintained California car in excellent condition inside and out.
