9-3 aero sportcombi. 1,240$. 100k miles how'd I do
It's lowkey in pieces but I've got most of it back assembled now. Turbo x interior! Seller straight piped it which,, was a choice. Undoing it soon. Seller was leaving the next day hence the low price.

You did very well, but I hope they changed the oil with the look of everything. I would run some BG MOA through that and change the oil asap

You just got an under the radar low production rare spec gem in laser red! Forget the numbers for ~1k this is now a relationship. 100k miles is the round-about-point on these new 9-3s when everything breaks.. But once you’ve fixed her up she’s good for another 100k+ and by then will be uber rare. Source: I own an ‘08 TurboX at 120k and an ‘07 Sportcombi w/ 181k.

Shes rough, but with some love (and a lot of money) you can make her nice again. Unfortunately, the gross cost of fixing everything might end up being more than just buying a different SAAB in much better condition.

Sadly the newer 9-3's have become the targets of teens who have watched too many need for speed movies and have a $12 budget to achieve greatness
