Price: $3000 OBRO. Had this listed locally for higher with a couple bites but no follow through. Considering all serious offers...

Description: 1983 Saab 900 base, 8-valve motor, 5 speed transmission, almost 165000 miles. I bought it off the original owner back in Aug. 2010. It's been a fun little car and I know I'll regret selling it down the road, but I need money for some medical bills and projects around the house. I just don't have the time to enjoy it the way I (or you) should. I've had a blast with this car! It looks unique and sounds great. Turns heads around town and I always have people coming up to me reminiscing about their past experiences with classic Saabs.

Maintenance upon purchase:
-Rear pads, rotors, calipers
-Fuel Accumulator
-Plugs, Wires, Cap, and Rotor
-Clutch work (cable adjustment and resurface fw iirc)
-Drive Belts

Maintenance over the years:
-OEM Shocks and Kilen Sport springs
-Rota RB 15x7 4x108 w/ Motorsport Tec adaptors
-Positive Battery Cable and battery (2012)
-Oil Pressure Switch, Cold Start Valve, T-Stat, Air Filter
-Regular Oil/Filter changes + gear oil (all synthetic)

Interior Condition:
-Seats and carpets in great shape with some wear on drivers floor mat
-All lights/gauges in dash work; odometer works
-No headliner fabric; previous owner tore it out
-Cracks in dash as expected, but it's not turning inside out...
-Has aftermarket radio installed from '90s. Speakers work alright for their vintage.
-All windows and locks work, though the driver's lock cylinder gets a little sticky when below freezing.

Exterior Condition:
-Paint is OK. Shines up nice after detail, but has small imperfections from being a shelf in the PO's garage for a while
-Rust spot on LF fender above wheel arch and on gas cap
-Plastic trim and bumpers in great shape
-Glass is good all around
-All lights work; small crack in rear brake light lens though no moisture gets in

Small oil leak and P/S fluid leak.

Comes with extra set of stock steel wheels and MasterCraft all seasons and a couple other small parts.

Great opportunity to own a classic! Definitely don't see too many of this body style around... After this weekend it'll probably go on CL. Jump on it now!

Pictures: Link to full album (I'll try to get sunny day pictures whenever the sun comes out...)

Wait, 4x108? did you upgrade the brakes? I thought 87 and under had different brakes and hubs, and a front ebrake. the 88+ C900s run the 4x108 pattern you mentioned.

Nice looking car, by the way. looks fantastic.

Looks great! Seems like a reasonable price too. GLWS!

I've seen this car around, and can vouch that it's just as clean as it looks in pictures. If I didn't already have a flatnose I'd be very interested in this. GLWS

Whoever buys this, I have an 8v head that was rebuilt about 2-5k before I swapped to a T16v that you can have for super cheap! Be awesome to see someone pick this up and convert to an 8v turbo.
 
Very very cool car. I would be interested if I had more space, well actually my driveway is physically full but my yard isn't yet...

This thing is cool, I drove one just like that a PO swapped a 16v into for the middle half of college, and I loved it!

I am running 4x108 wheels on stock brakes/hubs, thanks to some adaptors. More info in the car's thread

Awesome little old 8v! Sad to see you selling it.
I'm sad too. I know I'll regret this, but right now I need the cash and space...

Thanks!

This car has been awesome. Great way to get into the c900 scene!

Bump!

It's Saab season!

Bump and still for sale.

New battery and fresh oil change. Took it out for an hour drive to "blow the dust off of it" and it was fun.

Same asking price, make an offer!

First Saab my dad ever brought home was a new 1984 900S. I have a soft spot in my heart for 8valve 900s. Good luck with the sale. I agree with the owner, it should go to a good home.

Just washed the pollen off it- see how long that lasts...

Have someone I'm playing phone tag with locally but I'm still taking offers!
