FS: 1989 Saab 900S :(

Yes, the time has come that I need to sell my 1989 Saab 900S. It ran very well a couple months ago, but I need to charge the battery. My Mechanic said the engine still had half its life left, and its got a minor exhaust leak which is preventing it from passing the emissions test.

I've put over $2K of work into it, but its up for a very, very low price - only a few hours left on the auction and a good number of "watchers"... If anyone's interested in it, I encourage you to bid.

Thanks!

How big is the trunk. In other words how many dead bodies would you be able to fit in there?

[The Killing Joke]

The trunk is extremely large. There's a pic online where someone fit a full size fridge in the back of theirs.

It's a sad day indeed

[The Killing Joke]

It's a sad day indeed

You know it. One day, when I have enough money, I hope to have another Saab 900... Perhaps a nice turbo convertible. I've seriously never driven such a beautiful car, regardless of how she looks on the outside.

[mfkr]

ugh...why ebay....

This is the kind of thing i would love to get ahold of and play with for a bit....Drive the shit outta it and scrap it.

Just wish i had a few more days to come take a look at it.

You have your wish. My sale didn't go through originally on E-Bay, so I've just put it back up there... starting at ONE DOLLAR. I cannot edit my original post, so here is the new link (http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260481856011&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT).

I've since had the car charged, and it runs, and I've been able to drive it up and down the driveway. If you're looking for a great little car, or know somebody who wants a car, I urge you to point them to it.

It's going to sell this time, regardless of how much I get for it, but I'd really like it if somebody bought it who wants it.

how much did you pay for insurance on this monthly?

[The Killing Joke]

how much did you pay for insurance on this monthly?

I'm 37, and I was paying just under $100, I believe.

[Nekkris]

I would be interested in it but.. fuck ebay :]

[Pharmacy]

You sold three phones for a dollar? I would've bought that :(

[Sharpie]

$250? Are you not getting a new vehicle to replace this? If so, you can't get more than $250 for a trade in???
**Auto-merged Double Post**
Take the car to the junk yard, the steel alone is worth at least $150.

Nope. We're doing ok with my Wife's car... In a bit, when I'm out of debt, I'm planning on going looking for a nice 80's Saab convertible.

I'd personally prefer not scrapping the car. It's better than most of the cars I've driven, and still has a lot of life left in her. Better to have someone drive it who either a) appreciates it or b) drives the crap out of it.

[Derfel]

Looks fun.

[The Killing Joke]

Well, I'm happy to report that there's a bunch of interest. I guess that's to be expected - there's probably more than a few kids out there saying, "Hell, I can have a car less than a paycheque?!"

I'm hoping it ends up in a bidding war - it's looking good early, as we're up to $22 so far. In the first day, that's usually a good sign. When I originally posted it, nobody bid, but that's because I put a $300 reserve on it. I should have trusted my instincts back then, and just started it for a buck.

[Derfel]

Yeah - some guy that has the exact same feedback number as me, and a seemingly identical user name to mine has bid quite a few times on the car. He probably just wants to buy it low and have you set it on fire and record it and put the video in the "vids" thread.

Or something.

I don't believe I'm selling "setting fire to my car" services, but if "he" wins it, he's welcome to do whatever he wants with it.

[Nekkris]

lol those champs are really going at it..
who has a bid war pre last few mins?

I know, eh? Ah well. I'm happy with the results thus far, although I'd be happier if they had more feedback. I'm always concerned they're just new accounts that go "nah" after winning.

[Mike-KT]

I'm pretty tempted to be honest, but I have concerns about maintenance and upkeep costs. Plus I already have a stellar car and this would be a downgrade. I don't know why I'm posting this, but I feel like I owe it to the Saab

I appreciate that, Mike. I'm really happy with the maintenance I've had to do, to tell the truth. After sinking in the original $2000 and replacing the cooling system (and spending $6 on replacement belts) I can't see anything overly expensive that could go, but then again, you never know.

[faxe]

ill talk to my gf... just have to get her past the fact its a standard & she doesnt like to drive standard although she knows how to..

the exhaust thing also wouldnt be an issue for us, we live past the northern ontario line where emissions tests do not matter.. so i wouldnt even fix it

[Derfel]

I'm bidding because I want TKJ to drive it out to Winnipeg (I'll pay expenses).

LOL. I'd do it, but you can't afford me.

I didn't say it would be a luxury trip.

Good, 'cause I made sure to put "If you win it, you are responsible for picking it up from me" in the auction body... So, you can fly coach or whatever you want.

But you didn't say WHEN I had to pick it up from you.

[The Killing Joke]

True, but since I'll have payment within 7 days, it can sit in the street for as long as it takes for you to pick it up.

No worries, here. I'm sure the local constabulary will be along post haste.

... for a vehicle registered in your name...

... for a vehicle registered in your name...

"I don't know, officer. I have all this money, and I sent faxes and stuff of the ownership to the guy who bought it... I guess you can have it, sure. I've made every effort to contact the guy. Sorry."

[Derfel]

It'd still be worth it.

[Mike-KT]

talk about a useless argument.

[Derfel]

Naw - the bloke doesn't even realize I've done him a favour by driving up the price a bit.

[The Killing Joke]

If you seriously bid on my car, then yes, you've definitely done me a favour - its up at just under $200. I'm hoping it goes even higher, but we'll see.

You didn't get the hint from earlier?

[The Killing Joke]

I read your post, but I didn't think you were seriously bidding. I appreciate it.
