11/6/13 Edit: New price - $2500 OBO


* Name: Pierce Ford
* Location: North Chesterfield
* Means of Contact: Would probably be fastest to PM me here.

* Description: I bought this car about a year and a half ago with 186xxx miles on it, daily drove it to Charlottesville every day for a while, until I quit that job. I still drove it daily, but my current job is much closer. If I remember correctly it has something like 218xxx miles on it now, and still runs very well. The CEL will come on every now and then for an Emissions Leak code, and when you fill it up with gas, you can smell fuel in the cabin, causing me to believe the fuel pump sender seal at the tank is leaking fumes. I never bothered with it.

It's had Amsoil in it for it's entire life. The owner before me (who bought this new) is a friend of mine, and he is also an Amsoil dealer. The transmission has the blue Redline MT fluid (I don't remember exactly what it's called, but I have a spare bottle of it). The transmission was also rebuilt probably 50k miles ago with the MUCH stronger 2007 OEM internals. The transmission does leak a bit from the front axle seals, and the CV boots are leaking a little too. There is a very small oil leak somewhere from the engine, so it'll smoke for about 5 minutes after it warms up. It's due for timing belts and all that jazz, I never got around to doing it, and now I'm glad I didn't.

This vehicle is totaled. I was hit on the highway by a girl who hydroplaned. I spun out and kissed a guard rail with the other side of the bumper. The insurance company totaled the vehicle on sight because they said Saab isn't around anymore and they had no way to get parts (morons). I bought the vehicle back from them, and I had the body shop it was towed to, Connor Brothers, put it on the rack and check it out, they say the chassis is "Torqued," which I guess means it's twisted, and the quote they gave me to repair it was almost as much as I payed for this car. Since I had just put a down payment on my house, I couldn't afford to have it fixed. I'm slowly realizing that I'll probably never have the time or space to part this out, so I'm trying to sell it as a whole now.

The vehicle has Cobb lowering springs, 9mm "Saggy Butt Spacers", an SPT intake, Hella Supertones (With the super awesome AD Motorsports install kit), and some sort of short shifter kit (was installed when I bought it). That's it for mods though, the rest of it is factory fresh(ish). I also have a SUPER awesome Ebay exhaust I can toss in if you'd like it. It did sound pretty fantastic, but it looked awful and I got a ticket for it, so I had to take it off.

That's about all I can think of right now. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me or post here with any questions you may have. As far as trades go, I'm open to anything interesting. Feel free to make offers. Be aware that this thing will NEED to be towed away. I know a guy who will do it, but it's not free.

Thanks for your time.

* Price: $3500. The transmission alone is worth 1200, the 9-2x specific front end body parts (in as rough a condition as they are) are still worth 1000, and I've seen the hatches go for close to 1k as well.

* Pics: These are all the pictures I have for now, I'll try to get some interior/underhood shots if it's not dark when I get home tonight.

These next ones are from Facebook, let me know if they don't work.

 

07 transmission isnt much stronger than the older transmission. sorry to see this happen though

 

In the WRX's, it's a pretty big difference. Thanks though.

Bump.

 

Lack of interest bump. Would like to get rid of this.

 

Bumping this back up, still have it, still need it gone. Let's see if we can sell it for $2500, OBO. Thanks for looking!

 

Bump for a rare find!
