"When Saab launched the Cabriolet version of the 9-3 model, generation 2, it was an immediate success. The design, technology, safety, and usability were considered optimal for this type of car. I may be biased, as I had a similar car for ten years, and it was a good car. This one is in nicely preserved original condition with full equipment, and everything works well. There is mild wear and some details that could be refined, but what was the top of Swedish car craftsmanship then, still holds up well today. You’ll feel comfortable and safe with a touch of sporty feeling - and wind in your hair."

Description

This car was registered for traffic in Sweden in August 2004. The current owner acquired the car in December 2011, as a Christmas present for his wife. Since then, and reportedly also before, the car has only been used in the summers. It has been driven sparingly (about 10,000 kilometers) since it was a Christmas gift. Always stored in a garage. In addition to the standard equipment, it comes with textile and rubber protective mats as well as a wind deflector, Saab original. Instruction and service books, as well as other documents, are included.
The car is inspected and ready to drive.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Starts easily and runs smoothly and steadily in both the engine and drivetrain. A test drive at a calm pace was pleasant, with well-functioning steering, brakes, and other features. The car is well-serviced but has been standing for a while, so an inspection is always recommended. Not checked on a lift, but everything visible looked good. No remarks during inspections.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior is well-preserved, with door panels and trim in fine original condition. The seats and rear bench are also in good shape. Instruments, buttons, controls, steering wheel, and dashboard are likewise in fine original condition. There is some paint wear on a few buttons. All electrical functions appear to work well. The car is originally equipped with an integrated radio and music system for CDs, integrated mobile communication, and a navigator.

  • Exterior condition:

    Paint in good condition with some stone chips, small scratches/scuffs, and a small dent. The front spoiler may have been repainted previously. The soft top is well-preserved, and the electric function works well. Glass, plastic, and rubber are also in well-preserved original condition. Wear on the front emblem. Wheels have minor scuffs and dark wheel bolts. Good tires but different brands front and rear. Engine and trunk compartments are in good original condition.

  • General condition:

    This model is suddenly already 20 years old. It is rapidly heading towards classic status and already qualifies as an enthusiast and collector’s vehicle. As such, it is a sensible car that is both practical and in fine original condition—a Swedish classic.

Facts about the model

Generation 1 of the new 9-3 model, produced from 1998 to 2003, was primarily a facelift of the previous 900 model. More significant changes occurred with Generation 2 and the 2003 model year. The previous combi-coupé disappeared and was replaced by a sedan, or in Saab terms, a SportSedan. The following year, a new Cabriolet was introduced. These models were entirely new and built on GM’s Epsilon platform, related to the Opel Vectra and Cadillac BLS. As usual, Saab models ranged from basic versions to sporty Aero versions.

Saab’s cabriolet models moved around a bit. Initially, they were made by Valmet in Finland. However, the second generation 9-3 cabriolet, which came for the 2004 model year, was produced by Magna-Steyr in Austria. Towards the end, production was moved back to Trollhättan, but the very last model year, 2012, was assembled in Nyköping. The Cabriolet had various engines, with the most popular being the 2.0T engine, a 1998cc four-cylinder with 16 valves and a turbocharger, producing 210 hp. These initially came with a 5-speed manual gearbox or a five-speed automatic.

On December 19, 2011, a dark day for Swedish automotive history, Saab Automobile went bankrupt. The model that was on the production line at the time was the new 9-5. GM owned the licensing rights, which meant that no further production could occur. The bankruptcy estate was taken over in the summer of 2012 by National Electric Vehicle Sweden, abbreviated to Nevs. However, the rights to the Saab 9-3 were included. After the factories had been idle for over two years, Nevs resumed production of the 9-3 model. Only one model series was produced, the Saab 9-3 Aero Turbo4.
