Description
The car was delivered to its first owner in Switzerland in January 2011 by the dealer Milliet SA in Crissier, just north of Lausanne. Until June 2021, the owner used the car regularly and extensively, having it serviced throughout at the same dealer. In 2022, SAAB Partners BV in Holland purchased the car. The company services, repairs, and restores Saabs. They look for undamaged and intact cars that can be reborn with new parts. But no bodywork, that is; intact, clean, and undamaged bodies only. The company has bought up large stocks of new parts following the bankruptcy and can essentially build and restore relatively younger cars. The auction car is a good example. Used away from the salted roads in Switzerland, and the body retains its original paint. The most recent passed inspection was carried out on 2025-08-27 at 4,860 km.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
According to the previous owner – and primarily the company in Holland – the engine, drivetrain, and chassis are new parts that have now covered 8,570 km. The car also has a solid, mechanical new-car feel. It is not hard to understand the attraction and fascination that feeling holds for a Saab enthusiast.
-
Interior condition
The interior is in like-new condition, and reportedly everything has been fitted new with new parts from the company's inventory. The scent is important too – the scent of a new Saab.
-
Exterior condition
A neat and handsome exterior. An undamaged body with original paint. Original wheels with Continental summer tires at the rear and Minerva at the front. A set of new Mazzini winter tires on original wheels is included.
-
General condition
An interesting car and concept – here, those who hold the dormant brand in high regard have an opportunity to purchase a newer, newly built/restored car with new parts. And 2011 doesn't sound all that old, after all.

Facts about the model
With the Saab 9-3, the company adopted the naming convention à la 9-5. The new 9-3 model was a further development of the Saab 900, the version launched for the 1993 model year.
Generation 1 of the new 9-3 model, built 1998-2003, was thus primarily a facelift of the earlier 900 model. For Generation 2 and the 2003 model year, more happened. The earlier combi coupe disappeared and instead a sedan was launched, or in Saab language, a SportSedan. The following year a new Convertible arrived. These models were completely new and built on the GM Epsilon platform, related to, among others, the Opel Vectra and Cadillac BLS. As usual, the Saab models ranged from budget versions to hot Aero versions.
For the 2006 model year, a long-awaited wagon arrived – since it was a Saab, it was naturally called the SportCombi.
The Saab 9-3X Aero Griffin XWD represents the absolute endpoint of Saab Automobile's in-house developed 9-3 series. It combines the technology of the then-prevailing rugged adventure trend in the automotive world with the 9-3X and the luxurious Griffin update launched just before the bankruptcy in 2011. It was launched in the fall of 2009 as a crossover version of the SportCombi, with 35 mm higher ground clearance and robust protective details. At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the Griffin series was presented, which was a final facelift for the entire 9-3 program ahead of the planned (but never realized) successor. The Aero Griffin featured the most comprehensive equipment, including a sportier interior with graphite details and unique leather upholstery. Externally, the Griffin is recognized by the ice-block-inspired headlights from the Saab 9-5 and the characteristic Griffin emblem on the front fenders. The heart of the car was the then-new 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with direct injection producing 220 hp and 350 Nm. Power is distributed via Saab's advanced XWD system (Cross Wheel Drive), developed by Haldex, which could distribute torque continuously between the front and rear axles as well as between the rear wheels for optimal grip. Due to Saab's financial crisis and subsequent bankruptcy in December 2011, only a handful of 9-3X Aero Griffins of the 2012 model year were produced. A total of 3,954 examples of the 9-3X were built during its entire model cycle, of which the Griffin version in even fewer examples.
