"This vehicle is solid. 171,256 miles and this car somehow remained rust free. After this mileage vehicle performs very good. I can still take this baby pass 100mph on express way without an issue. Solid engine, turbo has a nice kick. Very good sweetish engineering. No repairs done just regular maintenance and this vehicle performs like a champ. Recommend to anyone who wants a car that will last a long time. I have confidence that this Saab will make it to 250K without hurting my wallet. Regards, Alex"

Nice little convertible

Cons: "Saabs out of business"

"I first purchased a 99 9-3 Vert for my daughter as her first car, 166,000 miles for 600 dollars(blown engine). I'm an ex master technician as I fixed this car up for her. I was impressed with how easy the serviceability is. I replaced the engine as well as other incidentals. I drove the car for a few thousand miles and really became sold. This car is tight for the high mileage. This car also gets 30+ mpg on the highway with the power of a V6 when you mash the go pedal. Great handling, style and confidence when driving. My wife fell in love and I purchased an 02 Vert for her, she adores it. Pretty cool little car, well put together, has it's issues as well as any other make. Bottom line, fun, affordable and practicable. I've driven American convertibles with half the mileage and none have ever felt as tight as this car."

Sitting in my garage wrapped in plastic

By Craig (MA) on Friday, March 22, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 60,000

Pros: "Fun to Drive Awesome around town and the highway"

Cons: "Just sitting in garage not being utilized"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 8

This is what it looked like when I bought it and now it's wrapped in plastic in my garage

"I bought this Saab always wanting a contvertible but it's been sitting in my garage for the last two summers since I have a company car now and it doesn't make sense to keep it anymore. It's only got 60,000 miles on it and I love it but it's wrapped in plastic, I only put the battery back in every season to start it and drive it around my neighborhood so if someone can use it more than I can great. I would love $8,000 for it since it's in mint condition."

Amazing car

By Princess (CA) on Friday, January 11, 2013

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 120,000

Pros: "all good"

Cons: "Newer models get better gas mileage"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 10

"This is the 4th Saab that I had owned and this was the best! The turbo charge really made you "hold on to your hats". The leather interior, sound system, heated seats, tons of cargo space with the hatch back, dependability--all reasons to own this Saab. Truly a luxury car but has the capacity to load up (when you need it) like a full-sized truck. Also timeless in design--although it is now 13 yrs old, it still looks as modern as the newest models."

Great options...has everything I need in a car

By JD (CA) on Monday, November 26, 2012

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 70,000

Pros: "fun to drive"

Cons: "no real cup holder"

Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 9

"Has heated leather front seats, power seats, power windows, memory driver seat, power roof, seats are in great condition (even though I own a big dog), no scratches on leather - great wear. Dash looks great - no wear. Rear windows roll down so doggie can stick her head out. Trunk is pretty good for a convertible. Overall very satisfied."
