20020000 Saab 9-5 Arc

Saab 9-5 Arc (2002)
for sale

Price: US $1,750.00

Description:

Well maintained, but recent problems and no local repair facility means I have to let this one go.
Over the past couple of years, I have replaced the tires, had it aligned, and worked on the brakes.
*NOTE: Most recently, I hooked up the battery after several months and unfortunately, the alarm (siren) module has gone bad. This means it will now not start and needs to be towed if you purchase it. I have significantly lowered the price due to this. The repair is about $50 for the part and a couple hours' work, but I am selling it AS-IS.
The primary problems with the vehicle are that there is a transmission SES code for the valve body (shifts fine manually, but not in auto mode) - and there is some smoke that comes out of the exhaust after idling or when first cranked. This started after the new turbo was installed (which works very well!), but the lack of knowledgeable service has kept me from fixing this.
There are some smaller issues such as:
- very small dent in bottom left corner of trunk lid (very slight - more of a turned corner)
- the A/C runs cold but has a very slow leak
- slight leak in sunroof
- center shift sliding letters removed
- sometimes key get stuck in ignition, but wiggling removes it
- one front fog light broken
- needs a good wax and swirl/scratch removal job
- driver window motor works, but cable/pulley is broken to allow it to go up/down
**NOTE: This vehicle is also being sold locally and the auction could be ended anytime due to this. However, it will be on a first come/first served basis and a Buy it now on eBay will take precedence**
I hope you decide to bid on this car and enjoy it for years to come!
Happy bidding!
