99 LB viggen sale 150k New Hampshire

Name: Tyler

Location: Hanover NH

Means of contact: direct message

$5000 or trade for 9-3 sport combi wagon or aero wagon

Description:

150K miles, never driven in the winter and is a car from Montana. I got it with about 140k miles on it in 2009 and it has pretty much sat in my garage since.

Since I've had it in 2009 I've put less thank 20k on it. New Parts: poly control arm bushings and new stanction arms, brand new hancook ventus V2 tires (less than 1000 miles), alignment, genuine saab poly engine and trans mounts.

New viggen clutch, slave, and master, and genuine saab braided clutch hose.

Stage 1 computer tune

Engine has been completely rebuilt with B234 block and internals, everything was spec'd and inspected by quality engine shop, total seal racing piston rings, all new engine seals etc. Balance shaft delete. Pretty bullet proof engine with the stronger B234 bottom end.

TDO4 turbo from a car with 30k miles on it when I put it on in 2009. (so 50k now)

The head is from a b235r with 50k miles on it when put on so 70k miles on the head.

New front calipers and brembo rotors w/ hawk HPS pads all 4

Eibach springs all the way around with new shocks.

All new hoses.

Straight viggen wheels newly painted gunmetal gray.

Receipts for most everything.

Let me know, and if you are local or want to take a look please let me know.

You will not find a viggen with a cleaner body on the East coast, spent it's entire life in utah/montana where it barely rains and rust doesn't exist, it's been in my garage since 2009. Obviously I've put very few miles on it, about 20k and 2.5k of those were driving it back from Montana.

What you have here is a nice viggen, with a basically brand new engine, and all updated suspension parts.

Some minor cosmetic dings here and there, Front bumper needs to be fastened better.

You won't find a more rust free car on the east coast. Bought originally in Utah, and spend most of it's life in utah/montana where it hardly even rains. It's been in my garage in NH since 2009, never drive after Nov1 or before May1 while on the east coast since I've owned it. There is some rust on the trunk lip, seen in attached photos, previous owner tried to cover up with black pain strip, but it has rusted where water pools where it touched the rear bumper.

Yeah, I guess that makes no sense, thanks for pointing that out.

What I really mean, is that there is no corrosion from salt on any of the fasteners or components etc, the underbody looks new.

Small bit of surface rust shown in those photos for full disclosure.

Are you interested in buying Saabeh?

No need for a 6th vehicle. My comment was a subtle jab at keeping honesty on TSL is all (moderator duties). The car looks pretty nice, perhaps some underbody pics around the spare tire well would be nice to see for perspective buyers?

Still available, really want this to go to a saab guy, and not someone on craigslist who thinks it's cool. I think $5000 is a fair price.
