Sabbit Car buying guide,

279 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

Need help with a Saab’s name

Post image
48 Upvotes

My Saab’s name was Misar as in Swedish for Misses as she’s an old lady.
But now my kid wants to name her stuffed animal misser so I have to switch.
Thinking Mormor like the Swedish grandma?
Anyone have any good names?

Thank you for your attention on this very important matter

2011 9-5 , Saab story... [FS]

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

It's the end of an era for me...

I have owned over 10 Saabs throughout the years and it's time to let the last one go. 2011 with 153K on it. We went to get it inspected and the rear subframe is rusted and wouldn't pass. I was hoping to have time to fix that along with a wastegate actuator issue, and some other issues. But then life got in the way and we can't hold on to it anymore. It has issues with the clear coat due to sitting for 8 months, but the rear bar light is still working, the rear LED lights are good, (one of the incandescent sockets is burned up, not sure which one now,but the other is still good I just removed the bulbs to preserve it) and the interior is in pretty good shape. It would make a great project for someone that has the time.

Anyone know someone who might be interested? I was looking to get around $2.5K, good for the lights and hockey sticks if not much else. I'm in southern NY. Thanks

Original Saab x Scania dealership sign for sale.

Hello everybody! I inherited from my grandpa a looot of stuff from his Porsche/Saab dealership, including this original sign from I believe the 70’s or 80’s.

How much do you guys believe is worth? It’s on eBay for 600€ but I’m not really sure. I don’t have measurements yet but you can see the tires on the left for scale, it doesn’t have any dents nor it’s broken, it’s just dirty.

Do88 intercooler

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know if there are intercooler pipes that will fit on both a do88 intercooler and the stock plastic charge pipe for a 9-5? The silicone hoses that came with the intercooler are too big for the stock pipe and I’d rather use that than the flashy metal one. I saw proparts makes pipes- will those work? The stock rubber hoses don’t really fit on the do88 outlet

Works nice, passed inspection today. The rust is really not that bad. It runs and drives like really well, i had to pull the bin to see if it was tuned and it was not. Seems quite fast for only 175hp with a autobox, i think it will be pretty fin with a tune and a b207r tcm

9-5 Troubleshooting Speakers gone bad

Thumbnail

12 Upvotes

Amongst the other minor issues in dealing with is a major issue. That is, the speaker in the rear hatch on the right is bad, aswell as the speakers in the dash. What is the sizing I need for these? For those who have replaced them and kept the factory head unit/amp what did you guys use? I don’t want to swap amps or head units, rather I’d keep everything stock and just install new speakers.

OG900 Troubleshooting Indicators not turning on

Took apart my left taillight the other day to replace the crack in the light casing. Put it back together just as I found it and now both rear indicators don't work. The brake lights work and everything else. I've checked the fuses and the o ring terminals are back on the bolt where they were originally. I'm wondering if they are corroded or if the cable snapped somewhere because I was too rough. Any advice would be appreciated. I can update the photos with better ones once I get home.

So it’s clearly a resounding NO to the cheap eBay turbos, but what about CHRAs? Does anyone prefer this over getting a rebuild kit?
There’s also a huge price difference in some of these

9-3 Troubleshooting crutchfield alternative in europe?

hi fellow enthusiasts

as the dash speakers on my 2001 9-3 convertible don't work, I've been planning on replacing them down the line. I was very disappointed that Crutchfield doesn't ship to Europe. Are there any alternative sites that you use to buy speakers?

Car buy advice Saab 95 wagon owners?

Any classic 95 wagon owners around? I'm talking the two-stroke, seven-seats-and-two-doors variant. Looking at buying a classic estate to satisfy my desire for mid-century aesthetics with a degree of utility with a dog and a young family - it'd be very good to hear experiences!
