"At the turn of the millennium, Aero cars were hot, especially when they were black with black leather, a touch of wood on the dashboard, a leather steering wheel, and aluminum wheels. That was the epitome of style back then. Now, there's an opportunity to experience that feeling again, this time in this beautifully preserved car in its original condition."

Description

The current owner, a car enthusiast with a deep passion for SAAB and previous professional involvement in the company's management, has owned this vehicle for ten years. During this time, it has been driven sparingly and served as a delightful combination of practical and enthusiast driving. The previous owner replaced the engine after an incident at 160 000 km, installing a replacement engine with the correct specifications for the car. According to information provided, this engine had covered 50 000 km. This means that the engine has now covered 100 000 km. It has been stage one tuned to approximately 250 horsepower.

The car is equipped with a gasoline heater, TermoTop (starts but doesn't ignite, in need of servicing), and a detachable towbar. There is a stainless steel exhaust system from the catalytic converter and rearward. Included are the owner's manual, service booklet, all inspection reports since 2013, various service and spare parts receipts, as well as two sets of keys. The Saab stereo system comes with a CD changer in the trunk. Additionally, a JBL subwoofer is installed, and a complete upholstery covering for that side and a full protective mat are included if one wishes to restore the trunk to its original condition.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car has been well-maintained, starts, and runs smoothly. It has not been tested on a long drive, but everything appears to be functioning well and feels as it should. It has not been inspected on a lift, but visually, it looks okay. However, it is likely time to go through and proactively address any potential issues to prevent damage.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is intact and pleasant, in its original condition with normal wear and tear for its age. The wood paneling, door panels, and headliner are in excellent condition.

  • Exterior condition:

    The paintwork, glass, and plastic details are in good condition. There may be some stone chips, minor scratches, and a few small dents. The wheels and tires are in good condition. The engine and trunk are in good shape.

  • General condition:

    This model and car fall into the realm between a practical everyday vehicle and a car for enthusiasts. Saab's Aero models have already achieved cult status and have entered the realm of collectibles. This particular example, with its condition, equipment, and appearance, undoubtedly holds a special place as a classic.

Facts about the model

With the Saab 9-3, the company followed the pattern of model designations, similar to the 9-5. The new 9-3 model was an evolution of the Saab 900 version introduced as the 1993 model year.

Generation 1 of the new 9-3 model, manufactured from 1998 to 2003, was primarily a facelift of the previous 900 model. It featured new bumper design, a new grille, and revised rear styling, partially following a similar concept to the larger 9-5 model. The chassis and crash safety were also updated. The body styles available were three- and five-door hatchbacks, as well as a popular convertible. Additionally, from the 1999 model year, Saab introduced a high-performance special edition called the Viggen.

For the 2000 model year, the Aero model was introduced, featuring a 2-liter turbocharged engine producing 205 horsepower and incorporating some design elements and aesthetics from the Viggen.

The 9-3 model was relatively popular in the mid-size car segment, offering both practicality and enjoyable driving dynamics with a classic Saab feel.
