This 2000 Saab 9-3 convertible is said to have remained registered in California with its original owner until the selling dealer’s acquisition in August 2022, and it now has 28k miles. The car is finished in Midnight Blue Mica over Warm Beige leather and powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four mated to a four-speed automatic transaxle. Equipment includes a power-operated black convertible top, fog lamps, headlamp washers, 15″ alloy wheels, power-adjustable front driver’s seat, heated front seats, air conditioning, cruise control, and an AM/FM/CD stereo. This 9-3 is offered at no reserve with original sales paperwork, a window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.
The car is finished in Midnight Blue Mica and features a power-operated black soft top. Other exterior features include headlight washers and fog lights. Blemishes are noted in the paint on the hood and corners of the front bumper cover, and the selling dealer reports that the bumper covers were repainted in 2022. Photos of paint meter readings are provided in the gallery below.
The ten-spoke 15″ alloy wheels are wrapped in a mixed set of 195/60 Starfire Solarus AS front and Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus rear tires. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel antilock disc brakes. The rear brake pads and rotors were replaced in November 2022. Curb rash is visible on the wheels.
The heated front bucket seats are trimmed in Warm Beige leather upholstery and are joined by a color-coordinated lower dash, door panels, and carpets. Amenities include a power-adjustable driver’s seat, air conditioning, cruise control, and an AM/FM/CD stereo. An area of wear is visible on the left-front floor mat.
The multifunction steering wheel fronts a 155-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, and boost pressure. The digital odometer indicates 28k miles.
The turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four was factory rated at 185 horsepower. An oil change was performed in November 2022.
Power is sent to the front wheels through a four-speed automatic transaxle. The right-front axle was replaced in November 2022. Additional underside photos are presented in the gallery below.
