This 1995 Saab 9000 Aero is finished in Imola Red over a Charcoal leather interior and remained with the original owner in Southern California until late 2018. It was sold new at Browning’s Saab in Long Beach optioned with traction control for an MSRP of $42k. Power is supplied by a turbocharged 2.3-liter DOHC inline-four paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and service performed within the past 1k miles included a replacement steering rack and a set of Michelin Pilot Sport All-Seasons. Now showing 97k miles, this 9000 is being offered by the selling dealer in Tennessee with service records dating back to new, the original window sticker, a clean Carfax, and a clear California title.

The 9000 was released in 1984 and is based on the Type Four platform, a front-engine common chassis developed by a group of manufacturers and utilized in the Lancia Thema, Alfa Romeo 164, and Fiat Croma. Aero models received a color-matched body kit with a rear spoiler from the factory, and this example is reportedly one of just 358 produced in Imola Red with a 5-speed manual.

The Aero also came equipped with sports suspension and a set of 16×6.5” Super Aero wheels. A replacement steering rack was installed less than 1,000 miles ago.

Recaro-designed front seats are 8-way power adjustable and heated. The Charcoal leather cabin also features dual front airbags, dual rear headrests, and burled wood trim.

The factory stereo, shift knob, and 4-spoke steering wheel have been retained. Noted interior issues include an intermittent center digital display for the instrument cluster. 97k miles are shown on the odometer.

The 2.3-liter B234 inline-four was rated for 225 horsepower when paired with the 5-speed manual gearbox and utilizes a single Mitsubishi turbocharger and a front-mounted intercooler. As a 1995 model, this example also utilizes Saab’s Trionic engine management system. A replacement clutch, slave and master cylinder were installed at 80k miles, and an oil change was performed three months ago.

Service records dating back to new and totaling over $19k accompany the car, as does the original window sticker, glove compartment books, and two factory keys.

No prior accidents or damage are shown on the recent Carfax, which also records registration in Southern California with a single owner from new.
