This 2005 Saab 9-3 Arc convertible was purchased new by the seller’s spouse at Ruggeri Saab of West Chester, Pennsylvania, and it now indicates 21k miles. Finished in Chili Red Metallic over Parchment leather, the car is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. It is also equipped with a black soft top, fog lights, a ReAxs passive rear-wheel steering system, 17″ alloy wheels, automatic climate control, cruise control, heated and power-adjustable front bucket seats, and a 300-watt CD stereo. This 9-3 convertible is offered at no reserve with a window sticker, service records, two keys with integrated fobs, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Pennsylvania title in the names of the seller and their spouse.
The car is finished in Chili Red Metallic (294). Exterior details include a black convertible top, front and rear fog lights, and projector-style headlights. The seller reports that a ceramic coating product has been applied to the exterior. The finish on the hood emblem is peeling.
Silver-finished 17″ alloy wheels were mounted with 225/45 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires in 2017. The car came equipped from the factory with a four-link ReAxs passive rear-wheel steering system, and braking is from four-wheel anti-lock discs.
The heated and power-adjustable front bucket seats and the rear seats are trimmed in Parchment leather. Appointments include automatic climate control, cruise control, Nightpanel mode, and an AM/FM/CD stereo linked with a 300-watt 13-speaker audio system. Wear is visible on the shifter boot.
The multifunction steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, turbocharger boost pressure, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 21k miles. The seller notes a blemish on the steering wheel.
The turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-four features dual overhead camshafts with four valves per cylinder, and it produced 210 horsepower when new. Power is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle.
