This 1988 Saab 900 was sold new in California and reportedly stayed with the original owner for 30 years prior to the seller’s purchase in 2018. It is finished in Rose Quartz Metallic over a red leather interior and is powered by a turbocharged DOHC inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. The car is equipped with an electric sunroof, 15″ tri-spoke alloys wheels, a Clarion stereo, and a rear spoiler. Servicing in 2019 includes an A/C update, new spark plugs, wires, a cap and rotor, plus resealing a C/V boot. Now showing 234k miles, this 900 is offered at no reserve with a clean Carfax report, service records, owner’s manuals, and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

This example is finished in Rose Quartz Metallic (202H) and was repainted under previous ownership. No accidents or damage are listed on the accompanying Carfax report. The seller notes chips in the windshield as well as some waviness in the corner of the rear bumper. Paintless dent removal was performed in 2018, and the seller notes that some of the weatherstripping is new.

Cosmetics include a rubber rear spoiler, flush headlight lenses, turbo badges on the corners of the clamshell hood, plus new emblems fitted by the seller in 2019. 15″ tri-spoke alloys were acquired by the seller in 2019 and fitted at each corner with Falken Ziex 195/50 rubber. Factory “Sunburst” alloys are also included and shown in the gallery.

The interior is upholstered in red leather, with wear evident on the driver’s seat including tears and creasing. Features include air-conditioning, which was converted to R152a and is said to blow cold. The driver’s automatic seat belt does not work and must be manually buckled. The right-seat release has fallen off but is otherwise functional.

A set of new SAAB-branded front floor mats as well as a new dashmat were acquired in 2018. Approximately 234k miles are shown on the odometer, 1k of which have been driven under current ownership.

The turbocharged 2.0L 16-valve inline-four is paired with a 5-speed manual transaxle. Since the seller’s purchase he has conducted a tune-up that included new spark plugs, wires, a fresh cap/rotor, a coolant elbow hose, and rubber components for the intake manifold. Records from previous ownership date to 2001 and show a new coolant expansion tank and coolant service in 2017, plus a new thermostat and coolant flush in 2018.

Additional servicing noted by the seller includes a replacement valve cover gasket, fuel filter, and fluid changes for the motor and transaxle. The previous owner had a remanufactured steering rack installed in addition to new ball joints, tie rods, struts, plus front SACHS and rear Bilstein shocks. Provided gallery images also show the pans, CV boots, axles, and more. The passenger-side outer CV boot was discovered to be torn, and was re-filled with CV grease and re-sealed. A new half-shaft will be included.

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage and first updates in 1993 at 44k miles. An in-car acceleration video is provided below.
