Price: $ neg / trade

Description: 1988 malachite green / black 900t with 1991 16V engine & 5-spd trans (~150,000 miles) in fair condition (solid car & daily driver, but needs a few finishing items .. I have parts for most)

SPG springs / bilsteins, 9000 wheels (plus 2 other sets); upgraded stereo, boosted ECU, nice leather seats swapped, tons of spare parts

Exterior lights, power sunroof / Windows / mirrors all work great; no leaks

Nice leather seats swapped in - car was set up for heated seats but not wired up with the new set.

I fuel only with 92-octane Ethanol-free petrol (except one time in Washington )

Pictures: just attached a couple; more available by email on request, or on

Original SoCal car; owned by Travis Decker & his Atomic Auto crew, so well-maintained.
I have tried to do the same, fixing up since Sept 2014, but housing deal failed & I've been stuck in an Apt, unable to work on the 900 since May (parked half-time on my friends' farm)

Planning to relocate soon & will need a solid city & highway commuter other than my 15mpg SUV, so very interested in trades + $$ for a 2005+ 9-3 sedan or wagon (or Volvo S40 / V50. maybe a 9-5 or C30)
Must be manual transmission, clean title & lower miles
Otherwise will accept a reasonable price. SAAB cred goes a long way.

Main disclaimers:

Leaks oil from trans & distributor. I have a good distributor & parts ready to install.
I very recently messed up 5th gear somehow .. now takes a little extra effort to slot gear shifter all the way into 5th (no grinding, just will rev as in neutral until you get it all the way in)
Headliner desperately needed - but I have a nice clean one on shell ready to go in.
Has a few dings/scrapes/dents. Typical Portland car.
AC has been converted but not connected. Previous owner gave me the AC belt but I haven't cared to try it (turbo > comfort)

Contact me for much more info.

Sorry I recently logged back in after a long absence, been trying to make this post disappear but I can't find a way.

I moved and kept the car, and it got hit a few months back, so it is permanently off the market.
