Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    As mentioned, the car has recently undergone significant and costly service work, focusing on maintaining it in a sound mechanical condition and ensuring it is usable without issues. There were no issues reported during the test drive; the car drives well. It also has good alloy wheels with a few marks and good tires.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is in good condition considering its age and mileage. The front seats have been recolored due to scratches and look decent, while the rear seats and door cards have some age-related marks and scratches. The headliner and carpet show slight marks and some sun bleaching. The dashboard and instrumentation are in good condition, with working gauges and electronics. Overall, there are no major issues with the interior.

  • Exterior condition:

    The bodywork is straight and undamaged but has some rust blisters in various places, mainly around the lower panels, wheel arches, boot panel, bonnet, inner sunroof, and doors (see pictures). The underbody primarily has surface rust, with nothing major, and there is a small dent on the fuel tank (see pictures). The paintwork is generally clean, and the car presents well, but upon closer inspection, these issues become apparent. The front lower bumper valance needs refitting.

  • General condition:

    The owner has invested a significant amount of work, money, and time into ensuring the car runs and drives well. Although the next step would be to address the bodywork, the owner has already started another Saab project. You can enjoy the car as it is for the summer, but the bodywork will eventually need attention.

Facts about the model

År 1998 presenterades Saab 9000 CD, en ny fyradörrars karossvariant. Istället för vanliga 9000 CC (combicoupé) hade CD en traditionell baklucka som gav ett mycket rymligt bagagerum. CD-modellen gav också Saab 9000 en mognare och elegantare profil. Därmed utmanade Saab andra biltillverkare med en sedanmodell som gifte ihop sportighet och elegans.

Saab 9000 CD blev inte någon riktig storsäljare, men bidrog till att bredda Saabs modellutbud. Den riktade sig delvis till en för ny målgrupp som annars i första hand hade haft ögonen på sedaner från Mercedes, Audi, BMW och inte minst Volvo.

Bilens totalläng var 4,78 meter, ungefär 16 centimeter längre än vanliga 9000. Som årsmodell 1995 fick 9000 CD samma låga från som CS-modellen.

Hur förkortningen CD ska utläsas är oklart, men olika förklaringar har förekommit som Combi Design, Classic Design eller Courier Diplomatique.

Enligt webbplatsen car.info finns det idag 2.158 registrerade Saab 9000 CD i Sverige. Det gör CD-modellen till den ovanligaste av Saab 9000-varianterna.
