2007 Saab 9-3

Introduced in 2002, the second generation Saab 9-3 was designed as a competitor to premium offerings like the BMW 3 series and Mercedes-Benz C-class. However its FWD platform and GM design meant it was never a real competitor. Despite this, the 9-3 offered a lot for the money including excellent safety ratings, stylish designs, and powerful standard engines. Starting with the earlier 900, the convertible versions became an instant success. Offering up to 260hp in turbocharged Aero trim, the 9-3 finally offered sporty performance and quick acceleration.

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to offer this 2007 Aero convertible for you consideration. Finished in stunning Electric Blue over two tone parchment and black leather, this car turns heads. The body is straight and dent free and the paint is good throughout. The triple layer convertible top is in excellent shape with no sagging and a fog free rear glass window. The trim is good and isn't faded and the 17in factory alloy wheels look good. The interior is in great shape with a crack free dash and little wear on the two tone leather seats. The parchment and black leather looks very cool and the seats are comfortable and supportive. All of the instruments work and the car has a good stereo, air-conditioning, power windows, power locks, power top, heated seats and a cool night vision panel.

The Saab-spec version of GM's 2.8-liter DOHC all-aluminum V-6 pulls well and sounds good. When the turbo is fully spooled up this is a genuinely quick car with 0-60 in the 6 second range. The aero trim also provides a different and sporty suspension tune as well as the absence of torque steer. The six speed automatic transmission is a quick and smooth operator and gives you the choice of steering wheel mounted paddles or the console shifter if you'd like to control it yourself. Owned by the same owner for the last five years and very well taken care of, this 9-3 comes with two sets of keys as well as the owner's manual. The car goes down the road with confidence and feels sporty and composed. Cool, comfortable, safe and quirky, these Saab convertibles are no BMW replacement, but they are a special car nonetheless.
