There's not a leaky main. It's a noisy TOB/Slave. It doesn't really leak anything. I get your point, but the thing has too many new parts to start throwing more at it to get an extra $5-800 out of it. at some point, I will just start selling off parts. The turbo, engine, and coilovers alone would sell for close to $2k you could point to any part of the car, and the parts are <50k miles old. |

 I lowballed a little there probably, but I do think if you put the AC back in you'd expand the potential buyer pool, a leaking rear main seal also isn't a trivial thing, and no cat is a problem too. Those things combined with miles and age limit the people who might be interested I think. Do you still have the AC parts and factory DP etc?I just sold our really nice 100% stock 2000 black Aero automatic wagon with no major problems, working AC, shiny paint, new parts, no missing pixels, for $2600 and felt like it was pretty fair. If that car had a leaking rear main seal it would've been what, maybe a $1600 car? One guy came and looked at it and noticed a small coolant leak in the end tank that I didn't know was there. He walked away even when I said I'd take $2000.00. I bought a new radiator for $150 (or something like that) and installed in 2 hours, found a buyer at $2600 the next week. |

HEY! I'm almost sick of looking at it enough to throw it on Craigslist. I'd let it go for less than $2k, but not *that* much. |

Awesome! Thank you, that's not too far actually. I'm going to give them a call. If they can set up a new cylinder to an existing key that saves a lot of headache for sure. Quote:

South Penn Lock & Safe Co They may want a blank key to cut. Tell them it is a Saab with a double side cut. Alternatively, send it to me I can take it over to them, you just need to pay... Its a a few blocks from my favorite craft beer place. 1/2 price beers at happy hour, I am sure can make it over there for you |

It's crossed my mind that a car like this for $300 to get the AC, piping, cat, and other stuff, plus Craig's wagon for $700, plus a handful of new parts and time could be a pretty nice car for cheap with a lot of spares left over. |

Awesome find. Welcome to the red aero club! I don't have anything to add on the ignition issue sorry! I'm surprised an aero is sludged up! I thought that the factory fill requirement of full synthetic and owners of aeros being enthusiasts would have saved most! Mine with 250k miles was pristine. Looking forward to seeing what you do. |

| jssaab | I have had an ignition cylinder re-keyed by a REAL locksmith ( the kind that does safes and stuff). He said no problem loaded new pins, ground them to the existing key was 45 bucks I think | |

Huh, I thought it was Laser, thanks. Isn't Imola a deeper shade? I've only seen, one, I guess before so there goes that lol. The guy had 3 spare tires on it because he wanted to keep the RKII's that it had. So yeah, 3 spare tires for wheels, and a free 9-2X spare tire that didn't fit, obviously. It also has sludged engine and about 50% disassembled engine bay; I didn't pay very much for it. Once we rolled downhill and onto the trailer I learned that partially deflated spare tires don't have a large enough diameter to keep the car high enough to open any of the doors while on the trailer, even with the trailer fender folded down. And there was no battery to put the windows down and the wiring harness was disassembled anyway.. My brother is awesome and jacked the car up while on the trailer to let me out.I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet. I really like how these cars look in red and it only has ≈120k on it. I've been scheming a higher compression 2.0L build with a non-standard turbo setup and a 3.82 gearset from a Cobalt to build a +35mpg commuter car. This may be the body for that. Right now I have a lot of painting and drywalling and a Viggen to put back together and sell first... |

Interested to see what you find out on this. The cylinder in my 02 MT has some funky problems with turning sometimes. I was hoping a cleaning along the lines of what you did would fix it. Side note, red MY00 9-5s were Imola, not Laser. Went to Laser in 01, not that I'm sure I can tell a difference. More info about this project? It looks like you got it missing some wheels? |

2000 Aero MT Ignition Lock Cylinder Failed I picked up a 2000 Laser Red Aero yesterday. The key worked loading the car onto the trailer, and then the lock cylinder failed. It's like it's not the right key anymore. So, to get it off the trailer we disassembled the shifter housing and rod etc. and knocked it into neutral. Now I have the assembly on the bench, lubed it up, used some compressed air, etc. the cylinder continues not to work, thinking somethings broken inside but I can't actually pull the cylinder out of the assembly either, because it has to work to allow the detent to go in. Anyway, advice? This is a new one for me. I guess I have to grind off the detent, pull the cylinder, and then order a new one with a key? It looks like you can still get the parts: 2000 Saab 9-5 Doors, trunk lid, Lock, Lock cylinder set
