Sabbit Car buying guide,

280 Upvotes

Hey Guys,

So we get tons of threads on interested buyers on Saabs is anyone willing to put in on a guide with the things to look for/look out for in future ownership. Especially since we have tons of intermixing of knowledge bases from 9-5s to 9-3s to Classic 900s and everything in between.

-As a side note I have no problem giving advice I quite enjoy it but would make it easier for new Saabophiles

SELLING/BUYING A SAAB Is it worth getting a 2007 Saab 9-3

Thumbnail

35 Upvotes

Per the title I’ve been looking into getting a 9-3 and found one for $6,974 with 92k miles. I looked up mechanics near me who can work with a Saab and found at least two nearby. It would be a daily use car: to and from work, short trips to LA via freeway. I still need to make an appointment for a test drive at the dealership, but wanted to get y’all’s opinion on if it’s worth it as a first time car 🫡

SELLING/BUYING A SAAB 2000 Saab 9-3 automatic 35,000 miles JDM

Beautiful saab that I couldn't resist importing into the US. The automatic shifts well and the engine is super responsive! Everything works in this vehicle and it drives super straight. If I recall correctly it was a 4.5 at the auction. The AC works great and the hatch is super sexy.

The battery was recently replaced and it's being driven in rotation at our used vehicle dealership.

The title is in hand and asking 5600 for pickup in Rudy Arkansas. We can also drive the vehicle to you for free if close. This vehicle deserves to go to a Saab person! hondajdmimports.com dealership website

I trusted them just once to do the tie rods so it can pass yearly inspection. They tightened the brand new wheel bolts into my brand new wheel hub so tight that it broke my socket when trying to undo. WHY JUST WHY WOULD YOU PUT 1000NM ON A WHEEL BOLT???? AND ONLY ON ONE OF FIVE?

I'm actually lost don't know what I'm meant to do now.

9-5 Troubleshooting Hesitant acceleration

My saab 2.3 stage 4 has been hesitating and "jittering" on hard acceleration. it started out of the blue and wondered if any one has had the same problem. Checked the spark plugs and decided to order new once. Can it be the spark plug problem, or maybe the ignition cassette?

Finally got my OG back!

Celebrated my 4 years of ownership with her not to long ago, and it's never looked nor driven this good!

Right before the 4 year mark I picked my OG back up after her surgery.

And also attended my first proper car show with her a few days later which was more fun then I expected lol!

Small summary of said surgery:

She now has the old engine out of my 9-5 Aero together with a genuine Viggen gearbox!

Also did some interior upgrades such as oil temp/pressure gauges and finally installed the GenuineSaab pedals.

And had to make the engine bay look a little better, so put on a classic valve cover!

The 9-5 died randomly on the road and I had to come to the rescue with a spare DI cassette. It started to act up recently and I've already ordered a new cassette, just didn't expect it to completely fail so quickly. Good thing I had a spare one that I picked at a junkyard some time ago. Crisis avoided but now I don't get to drive the vert until I fix the Aero.

New addition to family: a 2002 9-5 Linear Station Wagon

Just picked her up over the weekend. She’s got 095,095 miles on the dash with a check engine light on. I took a chance on her and dropped her off at the shop. Hopefully, I can get her to pass smog soon. She’s overall in good condition: interior & exterior. Has a couple leaks but looking forward to my analog center console and being a first time wagon owner (My other car is a 1993 240 Volvo). 😁

Any tips for a new SAAB owner are welcome.

ABS module question

0 Upvotes

I have a 2009 Saab 9-3 sportcombi with the V6 xwd and a six speed manual I’ve been told that I need an ABS module and it needs to be from a manual as well. Is that true or can I get away with one from a V6 all-wheel-drive automatic?

Schwedenteile order anyone?

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, anybody ordered from Schwedenteile recently? I did and chose by mistake bank transfer which says that the order will be shipped only once payment is received, unlike with card. Payment went through and I sent an email to let them know, but I've got no news from them in 2 days and am worried since it says 365 days a year customer service 🙃

Thanks!

Just added this one to the fleet. 5sp. 100k miles. Single owner. Pretty dang immaculate. What are some things I should know about this car? I’ll be honest, I’ve been so deep into educating myself on my 900 I don’t know much about this model.

Saab?

I was looking for a car and found Saab 9-5 V6 2010. I was researching a lot about it information is not clear for me. I just want some exotic, reliable, powerful car. Some questions are:
Those who had it, how is it?
Is this car worth good for upgrading projects?
Which one is the best?
Can it become classic in future?

Both temperature gauge and fuel gauge seems to get stuck at the same level.

Post image
5 Upvotes

My fuel gauge doesn’t go past the 1/4 mark. The D.T.E seems to be accurate. I would say that the indicator shows the correct level when going below 1/4. But I also noticed that the temperature gauge also seems to get stuck at the same level. When cold, it slowly rises but doesn’t go above as shown in the picture.

Is this a coincidence or does anyone have a suggestion of what it could be?

It’s a 9-3 -1999 2,0 SE

I'm currently developing software to fix the LED flicker in the NG 9-3. I still need to figure out how to disable the check for individual lights, but other than that, it works great. I just wanted to share this, as I think it will be useful to a lot of people.
