This 2000 Saab 9-3 Viggen convertible has 23k miles and is one of approximately 40 US-market Viggen convertibles finished in Lightning Blue for the model year. Power is provided by a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle, and features include a black convertible soft top, 17″ wheels, fog lights, a rear spoiler, automatic climate control, cruise control, heated power-adjustable front seats, and an AM/FM/CD stereo. The car was first registered in Illinois and was purchased by the selling dealer in 2021. This 9-3 Viggen is now offered in Missouri with a clean Carfax report and a clean Illinois title.
The body is finished in Lightning Blue and features revised bodywork consisting of aerodynamic front and rear bumper covers, side skirts, and a taller rear spoiler compared to the standard 9-3. Other exterior features include a power-operated black convertible soft top, headlight washers and wipers, fog lights, power-adjustable side mirrors, and Viggen fender shields.
Silver-finished 17″ alloy wheels are mounted with 215/45 Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel antilock discs brakes with slotted rotors.
The cabin features charcoal leather seating surfaces with blue inserts and debossed Viggen logos. Amenities include heated and power-adjustable front seats with driver-side memory, automatic climate control, cruise control, woodgrain trim, a Saab Information Display with Night Panel function, an AM/FM/CD stereo, and power accessories. Discoloration is noted on the rear passenger-side seat bottom, and wear is visible on driver’s seat bolster.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and additional gauges for boost pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 23k miles.
The turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four was factory rated at 230 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle. Additional images of the underside are provided in the gallery below.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and lists history in Illinois since new.
