Up for sale is my 9-3 which some of you may have seen in the 9-3 forum as I have been adding viggen accessories over the past few weeks. Thanks to a sweet deal I got on a 9-5 Aero that I could not pass up, I'm now looking to sell the 9-3.

Here's the stats:

- Laser red- paint in good condition, no body rust, some touched up hood chips but overall looks good. Has a few small cosmetic things which I'll outline below.
- 130,xxx well cared for miles.
- I am third owner. Car was originally leased and second owner bought there after.
- Clean title and history, no accidents or collisoins. I have a carfax for anybody interested.
- 5spd, shifts GREAT, no slop, new clutch master cylinder before I got the car
- H.O. model w/ the tdo4 producing 205hp/209tq. Car is VERY quick and the midrange acceleration is awesome.
- Two tone interior with cloth/leather seats and leather door cards.
- Heated seats, power everything, etc etc
- Cold working AC
- Car is quiet and exhaust is all good
- Alignment is DEAD straight
- Tires are practically BRAND NEW
- Brakes are good and look recent too.
- And lots of other features common to all 9-3 SE's which you already know

Additions since my ownership:
-Front viggen bumper, Rear viggen bumper , Viggen rear spoiler. All were painted nicely and match great.
-New alternator
-Some new pulleys
-New serpentine belt
-New front struts and strut mounts (not yet installed, but will be before sale)
-Dummy dual exhaust tip to be welded on
-***I have a black hood that I thought about installing for a little while to give the car a different look. If new owner would rather have it than the red one, to give it that different kind of look, I could swap before sale. It's not included though with the car unless you want it instead of the red hood.
-***Can install viggen side skirts on the car if owner desires, but if I do, SE side skirts and front and rear lips will not come with car. Instead, you'll just get the stock bumpers WITHOUT the lips. New owners choice...

Cons/things it needs:
-Tailgate is slightly dented. It never bothered me and took me awhile to notice actually. I'm gonna have a Paintless dent repair guy look at it early next week.
-Tiny dime sized puncture behind passenger rear wheel well. Not unsightly and never bothered me too much.
-Needs new front control arms which aren't too bad to replace. I've priced them at less than $100 per side.
- Some chipping on the hood that has been touched up.

Price: Although blue book for the car in good condition is $5700 and the car is in good overall condition in my opinion, I'm not asking full price. Pricing options:

Price WITHOUT the Viggen additions and WITH the normal SE package is $4200.

Price WITH the Viggen additions (except skirts)= $5200
- included: front and rear stock bumpers with hardware(both WITH lips) is $5200.

Price WITH the Viggen additions and Viggen side skirts =$5200[/B
included: front and rear stock bumper covers with hardware (both WITHOUT lips)

This is a good deal either way you look at it or whatever way you want the car (SE or Viggen clone). Seeing this I'm reasonably firm on the prices. PM me if you're interested and I'll respond quickly. You can also call me at 518-669-0740, my name is Andrew. Thanks!

PICS (I will take more pics if desired, just tell me what you need and I'll get it to you promptly):

I've always loved that interior, good luck with the sale.

I didn't mention it in the beginning, but I can totally customize the appearance of the car to fit the buyer's desires. Depending on what one would want, I can:

1. Paint all the trim red, OR
2. Paint the top of the bumpers back to the stock viggen look with dark grey tops
3. Fill in the section where the fake dual exhaust tip will go
4. And as mentioned before, I can add viggen skirts
5. I have a nice black hood that can be put on the car to give it more of a "tuner" look if that's your thing. I'd imagine it would look great, I just haven't had time to swap and see.

PM me with any picture requests or any questions you may have and I'll get back to you ASAP. I'm motivated to sell! Thanks

bump, bump, BUMP

Price lowered to induce hopeful sale.... Will take $4900 for the car with kit, $3900 without the kit. If it doesn't sell in the next 10 days, I'm stripping the viggen parts off of it and will sell them separately in a new thread. The bumpers and wing are A++++ condition wise. Also, did anyone know that a BRAND NEW viggen spoiler is $1100 from eeuroparts.com (400 for base, 700 for the top)? Thanks!

Wait a tic. Same price for getting viggen skirts with it and all. May have to try and convince the parents for my sister.
Yeah, for the higher price, I'll paint and install viggen skirts. However, to get the skirts, I will have to trade the stock front & rear lips and the SE skirts. This means that you would get a car with a full viggen kit and stock SE bumpers (without lips). Previously it would've been viggen kit minus side skirts and stock front and rear bumpers with lips included as extras. Sorry for making this so confusing! lol

The drivers seat is powered but the passenger is not. Both are heated though, and will burn an ass quickly. Plus, two-tone=hotness

Ok so let me get the price right for each option.

$4900 gets the car with the viggen kit less the viggen skirts and includes the SE original bumpers and decklid

$5200 gets the car with the full viggen kit and the standard 9-3 bumpers and deck wing less the SE lips and SE skirts right.

Also PCV update has been done?

If I can swing this and it all gets approved. I would want the textured tops back on the viggen bumpers, side strips back to normal, and the rear cutout filled in with that section painted back to the texture. I'll let you know more tomorrow.

Sorry it took long to get back to you, I haven't been at the computer all day. As for price, disregard the original $5200. When I said $4900, that was the price I lowered the car from, from 5200 to 4900. For this price, you'd get the car however you want it. I could certainly arrange the above demands.

As for the PCV update, I honestly hadn't checked yet. I'll look tomorrow and get back to you though.

Was asking $3900 before but I just put a bunch of work into the car last week so price went up a fraction. I addition to last week's work, my father and I are probably going to replace the rear brakes and front struts (and mounts/bearings) this week. It's a nice, reliable car. Fast too...

Oh, still have the viggen parts too if someone wants them also. Can have them on the car in no time for extra cost.

bump for new pics and a video. You'll notice in the video that a check engine light is on. This came on today and the code was for misfire, meaning DI. I have an extra that gives no codes that will be installed.

video (this car is fast and I wasn't really even pushing it)


pics- red=awesome color. In 4th pic, you can see tail gate dent. Could probably be fixed via pdr as no paint is broken. Front shots show headlight wiper with mind of its own. I don't know why it's like it in the pics but it's always been down. Interior shot shows perfectly working SID. The interior is CLEAN and VERY NICE.
