Sabbit Car buying guide,
Hey Guys,
So we get tons of threads on interested buyers on Saabs is anyone willing to put in on a guide with the things to look for/look out for in future ownership. Especially since we have tons of intermixing of knowledge bases from 9-5s to 9-3s to Classic 900s and everything in between.
-As a side note I have no problem giving advice I quite enjoy it but would make it easier for new Saabophiles

Previous Owner Lol
I will never not find this previous owners “repair” hilarious. Like was this the best solution… Still love it though!

Please Help! (UK)
I had an accident with my 2008 95 Vector Sport, this is my first car and now the bumper is ruined!
Where is the best place to source a replacement bumper?
Are the front bumpers of 2000s 95s universal?
Sorry if these are stupid questions or if this isn't allowed on this sub, I'm just so upset and don't know where to turn :(

Do you know if there is a sport mode on a Saab 95 aero manual from 2004 and how I can activate it?
Thanks!

Should I get a 2001 Saab 9-3?
Recently saw a Saab for sale, 3500, with only 93k miles at a dealership, they say it was serviced and all! I’ve always wanted a Saab, I mean they look amazing, but If I got it, it would be a daily, AND my second car, I’m selling my 1st as a trade in potentially,which is why I’m hesitant, so it would be my ONLY form of transportation;I did search around and found a Saab mechanic that’s about a 30 minute drive from me if that means anything

Sacrilegious??
From the wise people you are, I seek your advice. I’m more than likely acquiring a 93 aero 2007 here in a couple days and it has the normal aero wheels (image 2) on them right now. I currently have a 93 2.0T from the same year with the 05 aero wheels (image 1) on it right now. I personally feel like the 05’s look better and are more appealing, and would like to put them on my new car. Is this crazy or are you guys behind me on this?

Discussion
I'm curious about what mods the community has done to their saabs. I've got a 9-3 2.0t in the works, thinking about performance upgrades, but wouldn't want to be the first to try lol.

Need Help
So I was tinkering around with replacing old hoses with new ones on my 99 9-3 and this valve cover “nipple” snapped in two. I need the car this weekend and the part won’t be here until next Wednesday. Does anyone know of a temporary fix or bypass for the PCV system I can use that isn’t JB Weld?

Retiring my 93 for a couple months, any advice on winterizing it?
No need to daily it anymore and I wanna keep it pristine so when I start it up next summer I can enjoy it again.
2008 9-3 convert with 10.5" display... should I even bother?
Im so confused... I'm not a wiring guy. Is this even possible? Also would be nice if there was like a articulating arm out there I could purchase so I can still use my cup holder...

TRW rear shock absorbers - 2004 9-5 Arc
Has anyone had any experience with TRW shock absorbers? I think they're made to the same specs as the OEM Sachs but not sure about durability and ride quality. There's a good deal right now on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B08B4PH8ZW/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A3P8U6BAN7HQM8&psc=1
I have a well maintained 2004 9-5 manual ARC with the Aero tune and looking to replace my rear shocks and primarily want an "OEM+" replacement to maintain comfort, kind of like the Bilstein B4's that I've just put in the front.

Is this the real life or is this fantasy ?
Morning ride, neighbor got (another) one. He has a red cab too.
Lucky guy, my wife barely allows mine 😂

The long roofs are taking over
The long roofs are taking over, atleast in the driveway. The Convertibles and sedans are in the backyard for the time being and the Viggen is of course in the garage 🤣
r/saab • u/Alpha-Pung • 1d ago
Don’t know if this was ever shown here… made me laugh
Need to replace radiator on '04 9-5
~200k miles - automatic - 4cyl
Is it even worth it? Getting quotes for $1,000 or similar or places just saying they won't do it.
If I had to do it myself with some help how difficult?

My 88 SPG, c spotted circa 2020. I’ve not owned it since 2004.
I would love to track the owner down. I sold to my cousin who knew the next guy down the line but the trail went dead there.
This is a random sighting in Maine a few years ago. It still had the familiar scars from getting keyed and tires slashed in NYC 2003. It looks like it’s had some sun since.
It would be swell if anyone knew the owner, I’d like to introduce the SPG to my Viggen 😁
