Myopic Sycophant. Yesss it' was a decent car..... 20 years ago. Not so much in the 21st Century.

Har någon provat biltemas variant? vill bli av med lukt från en 3.9 Rover V8.

I bought a white Saab 90 MY1985 three weeks ago, near mint but missing some parts so yeah I'm on a spending spree as we speak, middle radio console alone was 140€ and the minilites 270€. Worth every cent but don't tell the missus!

Those minilite rims though ❤

1:20 min in the video is exactly my car

I drove a classic 900 for years and have access to a 1999 9-3 convertible. The 9-3 has a 2l softturbo and the 4speed Auto box what makes it a super comfy cruiser. But ride and handling make the 9-3 (which was already improved to the 900 NG) a much much less involving and enjoyable ride. The classic 900 was simply the best handling front wheel drive car of its time. And the successor just couldn’t match. How can you present a new car that handles worse than its predecessor without damaging the brand!?

When it blinks that quickly it usually means that one of the bulbs are broken. But I reckon that your problem isn’t as simple…

Hi, I have been driving a Saab 9000. Some years ago already (ouch, getting older..). When I had that marvelous car, I stumbled upon an article from somebody, who had been 'refurbishing' his 9000. He took out the back seat and made it into a little van. That is to say: he had to darken the back side windows. I am living in The Netherlands and in those days, you could drive a 'grey' license. Meaning: when you have a van, or a car with no back seats, made into a little van, you could go for a special license. A normal registration had a yellow colour, this one was grey. Hence the name. In this way, the taxes you had to pay for the car, were substantial less. Alas, I cannot remember where I read it, maybe it was in the magazine of the Saab Club. I was thinking to do the same, but then my wife got pregnant😀

WARNING MY FRIEND !!! . Keep reg plate hidden and avoid that SaabFest !!! . Criminal gang operating out of South Wales ......(been going for 40 years) .......... . The "profile" a victim and will wait decades ..... burgle houses just for documents !!! . Watch for a silver 900 turbo 16S with red leather .....(immaculate car) ....... Owner very polite.... respectable......sincere ............. but DEADLY . IM SORRY FOR THE POST 😞 ........... the cars were never meant EVER for this conduct

Go for it!

What? You have too many hobbies! ;-) Join the club! Yes, please post all your interests SAABs and all!

Hej do. Sure. Go a bit broader. SwedeStuff? Scandious?

Whatever it is, the NG900/9-3 is a fine car, especially in LHD non-bulkhead breaking guise..!

Fabulous detail in your video my friend . Thank you . I just did the job successfully on my 9000 cs (it is the same system ) thanks to your help . Cheers 🙂

What a 900 EMS?! I think EMS was only available on the SAAB 99.

I'm inspired. My father bought a Saab 9000 in 1986 which I drove to the Netherlands for him as new, he ran the car until @ 2001 when he gave it to me to run for another few years. Wonderful car, very few about in the UK today

I have one in Morocco for sale

The classic 900 was looking it's age but it's distinctiveness was unforgettable, the NG was still a fine car and I personally would be happy with one. The 9000 was far too Conservative for my liking, it looked like any other executive car, best ignored tbh. My all time favourite though was the 99, biggest mistake of my life was selling it, the only thing that really irritated my was the roof liner ( what were Saab thinking?). The 9-3's were beautiful both generations so GM weren't all bad really. It was a travesty letting Saab go to the wall, fuck sake, the Swedish government should have nationalised the manufacturer and sold it off when the time was right

No one thinking yo move theDIC.unit higher10 to 15mm. high from engine cover by used TEFLON insulator.Sothe DIC.case not touch the engine cover.So the DIC.unit not so hot. TRY do it...

Glad you were all well! I have a 5 door 900i 8v hatchback from 89 . Love it

czcams.com/video/n3ZaVjDt_Zk/video.htmlsi=TaMNpHK07_54YSMi i hit at 100 kmh no belt walked out. Thas why now i have 3 saabs all 2000 93

You’ll regret it:( sure you can’t store her?

A good concise history of a fabulous car. I owned two 99’s. First was a two door Verona Green 1.85 and later an EMS. It was while owning the EMS that I sourced a Saab 96 for my wife which was a gem. She still misses that car all those years later. It’s such a shame Saab lost their way.

Hello iam looking for the 3d print bushings for a 1992 saab convertible

The main reason for replacing the rear on the 99 was that the press tools were worn out. At the same time, they wanted to keep the 99 as an entry-level model, and therefore the Saab 90 was created.

I have just bought a v6 900 convertible nice car to be fair still runs well

My Grandpa had a 1984 GLi 😊 Many years ago now.

Ha ha... it's ok to slip up, it's all a learning curve at the end of the day.

NG900 is objectively the superior vehicle... Minimal GM influence actually. And a much stronger drivetrain. Better looking too. Look at a well-spec'd NG900 coupe vs a C900 coupe. The NG coupe is the best looking body they ever made. It stands out no less than the old 900. They both have major influence from typical styling from their respective eras. If you look at the parts, it shares no more with any other vehicles than the C900 did. Certainly less than older Saabs witth their Triumph or Ford engines... I think most of the NG900 hate from "purists" comes from straight up ignorance and baseless lies. Even jealousy that the NG900s and OG9³s have proven to be the most durable car Saab ever produced.

Nice video although a little confusing - when you talked about the facelifted sloped front at 3:13, I think you were talking about the CC/CD models, but showed a picture of the CS.

If only cars were like this today, I would buy one. Sad to be born too late, into era of electronic boxes on wheels, the bloated, boring, ugly, stupid cars of 2024..

I own a Saab 9000 Aero 2.0 from 1997. Brilliant car. And produces alot more horsepower than what people imagine.

I don't care what they cost and if you think that 3D printed rubber bushing thing is better, where can I buy that and should buy the lock ring and the plate too? also is there anything else further down the steering column that could be bad? like a metal bearing or a bronze bushing? and where can I buy any of this stuff. nobody sells anything for Saabs where I live and will have to use a computer. like now. and I hate computers. but it looks like I have no choice . The good old days of just going to a store is over.

The music is distracting from this lesson . Stop it.

I can recognise the sound of a Saab 9000 engine starting when I hear it.

please tell me what the SE stands for.

I have to counterpoint your video! 8^) Yes, I love my classic 1989 Saab. Still, I feel that my 1998 900s is a better built car overall. It is quieter, stronger and more solid. It is less likely to rust than a classic Saab. My 98 has had some rust issues which were minor in comparison to my 1989. Most classic 900s are major rust buckets for those who wish to restore. By just opening the hood of a NG900 you'll see how better engineered the car is. The engine bay does not have wide open spaces such as in a classic Saab. That is efficient use of space. I love the quirky feel and styling of my classic. Still, for longer trips, I feel much safer in my 1998 900s. The interior doesn't look cheap to me. For its age, unlike my 1989, the dash has not cracked nor has the glove box buckled. On my 1989 some of the trim on the dash dried out, broke and has started to peel off. I understand that the initial 1994-1995 NG900s had some issues. By 1997-8 those issues were resolved. My 98 has been fairly dependable overall. It has close to 300k miles on it now! It does not leak whereas my antique does. I could go on and on! 8^)

Last year I bought 180tkm automatic non turbo NG900 for 600€ here in Finland. You can get these NG900 very cheap at least here and for that money very excellent value and safe everyday car. I have seen that these coupe models are better with outer body rust, with basic 5door sedan you can see rust from rear arches where two metal plates are bonded together and I think it is condensation between these two metal plates makes it rusting from that specific area. This is just my observation but it is good to keep in mind when buying this 5 door sedan.

I have 9000 now. And owned a 5dr c900 turbo before it. Im an artist. Both have been great for transporting paintings etc. I must say the 900 felt better suited to it. Did it have a lower floor maybe ?? The 5 door was fantastic access and visibility. The speakers sticking out into the rear space in the 9000 can be a pain. Both brilliant cars. 900 feels more special. But i like the elbow room in the 9000.

Looking at an 89 900 (non turbo) and they are asking $1000. Can you look at the ad and tell me if this sounds legit? "Cute Saab. Not running as it needs a new crank shaft sensor which they do not make anymore. I am told there is a great work around where you swap a part with a 9000 turbo, but it would take someone who knows cars and has the tools. Lots of new engine parts, new battery, new ignition, decent tires and interior. Would make a great project or parts car. Needs to be picked up via tow. Will consider all reasonable offers."

Beautiful 99

I sold mine last year and regret it. With only 80k miles exactly like this one except the hood was a cowl hood 3’

This is the worlds best car ever. I owned over 20 of these 9000 and had alot of fun, they never brake down on me. Loved the 9000 so much. But now I dont see them anymore here in sweden. Now I drive my 9-5;)

I have 4 saabs i got two 900ng one coupe 2.0i, one convertible 2.3i and 2 9-5 one 3.0t v6 and a estate dame edna 2.3T If i look at my Saabs, Hierbij they are all saabs they have their quirks like the key position or night panel. That whole GM thing doesnt bother me. There is Saab dna in all the saabs, even the GM ones.

If I had a good shop/garage I'd definately be interested. Looks like a great not-too-difficult project to get on the road again.

A good candidate for a full restoration. Hopefully, someone will pick it up and save it.

Just found your channel yesterday. Already subscribed. Would love to see buyer’s guides for anything pre-GM. Owned an ‘87 9000 Turbo around 2000…really loved it!

Kinda liked that rumble 🤣

You seem like such genuinely nice person who just has a sheer passion for Saabs. I would love to just sit down and talk about Saabs with you all day. I’m definitely subscribing with notifications, and I hope to see more content on your channel!
