July 6th, 2009 · 8 Comments

1988 Silver SAAB 900 SPG for Sale (Canadian version). $2600 OBO. Rare, unique, original Canadian version 1988 Saab 900 SPG for sale. Purchased new by my father-in-law in Canada, I am the second owner of this iconic Saab SPG (Special Performance Group) automobile. It was garaged and babied by my father in law who put very few kilometers on it over the years. I bought it from him and used it as my daily driver. It currently has 104000 miles (168000 km; odometer is in kilometres). Condition: – Engine and turbo boost remain strong and smooth. – 5 speed transmission is a tiny bit notchy, but great condition. No slippage. – Power sunroof, windows, side view mirrors, locks all work. – Front, rear hatch, headlight wipers all work. – Original AM/FM/Cassette Clarion stereo. – Heated front seats. – Tinted side and rear windows. – Rear disc rotors and pads were changed 2500mi ago. – Leather seats, headrests, and matching shift boot. – Inside is clean, non-smoker, no pets. – Michelin tires are a hair above Lincoln’s head. Typical Saab issues: – Sagging headliner, currently held up with T-pins. – Few, but small cracks beginning to show in the driver’s leather seat and dash. – Only boost gauge, tachometer, odometer, trip odometer work. That’s enough info to figure out how fast you’re going. Speedometer, clock do not work, fuel gauge is a little flaky and not entirely reliable. – Small amounts of corrosion in the inner lower door panels. – Original paint. A few small dings, scratches. Paint surfaces on the hood, roof and upper hatch are faded, with minor crackling. – Top surface of front and rear bumper covers has some peeling, fading. – Power antenna does not work. Replaced with a permanent fixed unit. – Small oil leak from engine valve cover gasket. – Occasional binding in power steering. Need to occasionally add fluid. – Needs new rotors or lathing to smooth out slight warpage. – No working AC. It was converted to 134a, but there remains a leak somewhere in the system. – Passenger side control arm/subframe are corroded and probably need to be replaced. – No fog lights. I removed them rather than replace them because the lens were cracked and did not pass state inspection. They wiring still remains and new foglights can easily be plugged back in. – Front Saab hood emblem colors worn off. Mobil 1 oil changed every 3000mi. I may have a few extra air and oil filters lying around which I will throw in free. I live in Virginia and the car did not pass state inspection due to need for new tires and leaking power steering pump. I was hoping to keep the car awhile longer but unfortunately, I don’t want to invest the money to get this car state certified. This rare and unique vehicle is an excellent candidate for someone looking for a restoration project or looking to break it down for parts. I don’t have the time to do either, so I’m offering it for sale. I have a $400 offer for the three spoke aero rims, so the car is for sale with different rims, not the aero ones pictured unless you want the whole package together. The car is drivable and can be driven home to the first buyer who makes a reasonable offer. I’m asking $2600 but also willing to trade for a working, state inspection passing vehicle.
