UPDATE 6/11/2013: PRICE IS NOW $500.


Hey, guys. My roommate's selling her mostly-dead Saab Convertible. She's letting me give GRMers first crack before throwing it on Craigslist for $1500 - there's room for negotiation for GRMers. :D

Located in north San Jose, Ca.

Details

  • Engine: B235
  • ~140k miles
  • Graphite Green, sand beige leather interior
  • 16" wheels
  • 5 speed manual

The good

  • Transmission rebuilt, brakes redone
  • Currently registered until June
  • LCD works - climate control display is kind of readable (splotchy)
  • Tires are brand new - IIRC, she replaced them about 2-3 weeks before the car stopped starting

The Bad

  • Engine turns over but doesn't run
  • Compression test on engine - 2 cal >30psi, other 2 wouldn't hold anything
  • Oil is thin - gas or coolant in the oil??

The Not-So-Ugly

It's actually a pretty sharp looking car...some minor dings, top is okay but will need replacing in the next year or two if you're not stripping the car.

Will update with pix...

How much for the gearbox?

Edit: is this NG or classic 900?

Edit part deux: I just realized that your on the wrong coast, never mind

In reply to HappyAndy:

Trying to sell the whole car first. :D If it doesn't sell by the time the RX5 is built, I'll drag it into the garage and start parting it out.

Bump. Price is now $500. I have too many project cars, someone please save me from taking on a SAAB!
