Seller's Notes
Due to the high mileage, it’s probably not worth overhauling the motor. The remainder of the car is mechanically sound due to mostly freeway driving and the interior is in good condition due to lack of pets/children/passengers. The sunroof, seat heaters, 6-disc changer stereo, power mirrors, cruise control, power windows, fog lights, and rear window wiper all function. Only add-on is a Stromung axle back for that classic sound. Never modded, chipped, or driven on a track. It is such a pleasure driving this car my goal was to reach 300,000 or drive it until a major mechanical failure happened, and it recently did. Thx for looking. These are rare and specials cars, I'm thankful for 13 incredible years of driving one. Shame to donate or junk it.

History: 2nd owner, I purchased it as a lease return in early 2008 from Ellis Brooks Chevrolet, it had 24,000 miles then. Used to commute from San Francisco to San Carlos, 60 miles daily, >80% freeway. Only Mobil1 synthetic and Shell premium gas. I’ve kept all repair and maintenance bills, including for the oil changes. No modifications or track days. I purchased a second car a few years ago but due to street cleaning I still drove the Saab to work at least twice a week until the recent engine problem.
These are rare and so are the body panels and many other parts. I don’t have a garage or the knowledge to overhaul or replace the motor.
