Vehicle description

Model History:

The Saab 900 plays a key role in the brand's history, as Saab was most successful during its lifetime. Introduced in 1978 as a complement to the Saab 99, this hunchbacked Swede delighted with its quirky details and spacious body. A large tailgate made it easier to load large items in the hatchback model, and a standard seat heating ensured a warm seat in winter. From 1980, a four-door sedan version with a separate trunk was available. A few years later, a convertible version of the 900 was even launched. Almost 1 million Saab 900s were produced until 1994.

General Information About the Vehicle:

This auction offers the opportunity to purchase a Saab 900 classic hatchback model from its first registration in 1983. This 900, bearing the VIN YS3AG31S0D2007020, remained with a single owner in Sweden until 2016. It was then imported to Germany and fell into the hands of a collector who kept the car until 2022. The current seller then acquired the Saab 900 and now wishes to sell it. The seller states that a partially maintained service book, various invoices, and German TÜV reports are available, which can verify the mileage and thus the history of the vehicle. This Saab 900 is believed to have matching numbers. Currently, the Swedish vehicle has a valid TÜV until September 2024 and a historic vehicle registration plate.

Exterior Color/Paint/Body:

Thanks to its hatchback, this Saab 900 offered for auction has a unique silhouette, giving the car a charming character. The light blue paint of this car has been partially repainted: new paint was applied to the door and the fender due to vandalism (key scratches). The body now presents itself in very good paint condition without any inconsistencies. Furthermore, no modifications deviating from the original state can be detected on the exterior, and all attached parts appear to be in clean condition. For a detailed look at the exterior, refer to the photos of this Saab 900.

Exterior Wheels/Brakes/Suspension:

Recently, new all-season tires from the Kumho brand were fitted, mounted on original silver Saab rims. Along with new brake discs and pads, the brake lines and calipers were also replaced. The front shock absorbers were replaced in 2018 and the rear ones in 2022. According to the current owner, there are no major defects in the braking system or suspension.

Interior:

Inside the Saab 900, the cozy light blue velour seats, which appear to be in impeccable condition, create a homely ambiance. Overall, the interior is in an exceptionally well-maintained condition without any major damages or missing parts. The windows are lowered using manual cranks, and a modern Blaupunkt radio is among the equipment in the Saab's interior. For a detailed overview of the interior and various features, refer to the additional photos and videos of the 900.

Mileage:

Three round instruments are directly in the driver's field of vision: an analog clock, the speedometer, and a round instrument displaying the fuel level and coolant temperature. This Saab 900's six-digit odometer reads 67,900 kilometers. The mileage of this Swedish car can be verified based on various invoices, TÜV reports, and a partially maintained service book.

Engine:

Under the hood sits a 2.0-liter inline-four engine, delivering 101 hp to the front wheels. The power is transmitted via a manual gearbox. Recently, a new radiator was installed, and both the exhaust and battery were replaced. Lastly, all fluids were changed, with the last service taking place in March 2023.

Underbody:

Considering the vehicle's age of almost 40 years, the underbody of the Saab is in very good condition. It's also worth noting that the vehicle recently underwent a complete preservation with UBS wax. The Saab 900 is a classic for individualists, especially the classic silhouette of the 900 hatchback, which gives the car a distinctive design, making it a versatile talent. With this 900, the future owner secures a Saab that's readily usable daily. According to the seller, it has no backlog of repairs and, with its low mileage, not only presents itself in an exceptionally well-maintained overall condition but also boasts a well-documented history.
