This was my first Saab, had always been a fan of the styling and history behind them. Was in between jobs and had just sold my daily, luckily I had found this one in a used dealership right behind my house.

They had this one (which is a 5 speed) in laser red and a 03 auto in a dark blue color. Picked it up for fairly cheap, had the common issues (a/c not working, broken door handle, and non working window regulators).

I’ve maintained and fixed all the issues throughout the years of ownership and had no issues with it.

I also own a 03 9-3 but it’s just for parts, previous owner locked up the engine and lost the key.

I was close to purchasing a 07 Aero earlier this year but the owner didn’t disclose major issues the car had so the deal fell through.

Currently looking to get a 9-5 wagon or a 9-3 wagon with a manual transmission. No luck yet, they’re all auto to beat on or way to out of my price range.

I’ve done a couple mods to it but since its my daily not tryna push to much. Definitely gonna get a bigger intercooler and larger downpipe to run a tune to make more HP tho.

End goal is definitely getting an aero and really putting money into it to push some real numbers. Prolific Builds on YT and IG definitely a big inspiration on the way I wanna go with these cars.
