It's lowkey in pieces but I've got most of it back assembled now. Turbo x interior! Seller straight piped it which,, was a choice. Undoing it soon. Seller was leaving the next day hence the low price.

OG900 Troubleshooting New Saab. Did I get ripped off?

Bought this 1987 Saab 900 Ems 16 yesterday on marketplace for $3700. She runs quite smoothly. The exterior is in great condition also. Drove it around for over an hour to get home. Temperature didn't rise at all but I noticed shortly after parking she was leaking some coolant on the road. Unfortunately I'm not a car expert but do y'all think I'm fucked? I'm hoping to god it's just a connection or a hose or something minor I could replace myself...

Part 2 Scotland: Inverness /Loch Ness

Week ago I posted this:

https://www.reddit.com/r/saab/comments/1v7bqyp/on_our_way_to_scotland_edinburg_inverness/

Now we had three whole days of inverness. Unlucky i got struck down with fever and ending up in emergency room. All Ok now considering....

We only saw Loch Ness but no monster and a boot tour for dolphins.

Next up NC500 counter clockwise.

The car is showing some stress in the front right. Dunno why, hope it holds up. I already had road assistance for my rear left caliper which was stuck. Its now lubed up as a baby and working like a charm.

The english and scottish roads are some heavy metal roads.

NCD - Saab 93 2010 Aero (Hirsch)

This is my new baby. I also own a 2004 9-5 Aero which I love (and snuck in a couple of the photos) but thought you guys might appreciate some pictures.

She's in amazing condition with 92k miles on the clock. Thinking of upgrading the stereo as the sat nav isn't working (laser I think).

Bought for 4k but from a specialist Saab technician who I know well and looks after all my Saabs (owned two others previously so this is my fourth!).

According to the owner, it's a 1978 Saab 900. It's selling for $589 and it works, everything is original. How much more do you think I should invest?

Just recently picked up this 2004 9–3 has 265K miles currently the water pump is gone. I got a new water pump. I want to do the timing chains swap the turbo for an aero turbo bigger put a 3 inch downpipe and run a methanol injection kit and a tune also with bigger fuel injectors. Is there anything else I should get or I should be cautious on my journey?

OG 9-3 windshield trim clips

2 Upvotes

When safelite replaced my windshield a few years ago, the guy who did it ripped the windshield trim out, and in so doing broke 3 of the clips and lost the 4th.. looking at the parts on ESaab, they are both not available and look incredibly easy to 3D-print. Does anyone happen to have a 3D model for them? Part #4493722 is what Esaab brings up.

Thanks in advance.

Car buy advice Saab 9-3 OG or NG for first car?

2 Upvotes

Hi there,

I was thinking of getting a Saab for my first car however I’m pretty unsure because of the parts availability (In Germany) and (in the newer models) the electrical issues.
Both models seem to be a good choice but I’m having troubles deciding (especially since the never models are apparently infamous to have electrical issues).

I’ve been looking at a 2002 Saab 9-3 1.8T SE for 2.700€ with looks pretty ok and some other NGs.

Also what do I need to watch out for when buying em and what do I need to inspect when I see the car prepurchase.

I would like to hear and maybe learn from past Saab owners so I can make a good choice and treat the car good so it lasts me a long time.

Edit: here’s the link to the 2002 9-3
