Description:

Thanks for Looking Ebayer!
This vehicle is a great value and just needs some love and TLC to come back to it's former glory and be a great luxury Sedan. Vehicle does start most times, if the starter was replaced vehicle would be in good working order to drive. See above for general vehicle specifications however here in the body I will describe all of the points of improvement and what the features are of the vehicle.
Aside from a new starter the vehicle will most likely need brakes soon and the ABS chip system may need to be refurbished. This can be either refurbished by taking out the original unit and sending away for refurbishment or this can be replaced by another working unit. At this time the ABS system is still working sparatically with occasional dash warning of it's failure. The vehicle can still be driven and braked without this chip but if it can be fixed would be an easier thing to correct on the vehicle. Aside from the starter and abs breaks we have no other engine issues. Vehicle is on it's 3rd engine so even though the body may be at 150k Miles the engine is only in the 80, 000s. The Original owner purchased vehicle new in 2003 in Spokane, Wa at the Saab dealership and did not perform regular maintenance on the vehicle until the engine blew up in 2006 and required a full replacement. At this point the original owner traded vehicle to dealer and moved on to another vehicle. When current owner purchased vehicle from dealer in 2007 the vehicle was fitted with a brand new engine. Current owner purchased vehicle at 50, 000 and that is when second engine was brand new. This engine ran until around 120k miles and due to a minor oil leak caused the engine block to crack and require a new engine. At the time of the second engine failure it was 2013 and saab's were recently bankrupt. The vehicle was in California at this point and a local bay area mechanic found a used engine in Sacramento, Ca with 50, 000 miles and installed in the vehicle. For the last 30k miles the engine has run well.
At this point with the 3rd engine it has 80, 000 miles and the total body has 150k as listed in specifications.
Outside of engine details the rest of the vehicle maintenance is as such:
When current owner purchased vehicle in 2007 the car had no major issues. Due to a narrow garage in 2014 there is some minor white paint on the driver side door as evidenced in pictures. This can be easily rubbed out with a wet cloth and or sanded out and waxed. As mentioned above the driver side window is off it's track, if someone can open up the inside of the door and get back on track should be an easy fix. Front left tire is worn, all tires are still working and on original Saab rims. All seals and symbols are genuine of Saab.
History:
As Mentioned above current owner is the second owner and title is clean.
Shipping and Payment:
