1995 SAAB 9000 Aero
You will not find a lower mileage enthusiast owned Aero
like this again!!
47,500 original enthusiast-owned miles (approximate - I'm
still driving it a little)
Original owner - SAAB Cars USA, then former SCUSA CEO Dan Chasins, then
me.
All available SAAB factory options present on the 9000 Aero, including:
ABS/Traction Control/Alarm and keyfob remotes/Trip Computer/Premium Audio
Silver metallic paint in very good shape - car fully detailed
around the first of May.
Rims are factory 16" Super Aero alloys with GT Radial Champiro 205/55/VR16
tires (15k on tires)
SAAB B234R Turbocharged 2.3 litre balance shaft engine - 225bhp

Full leather interior including doorpanel inserts and power
memory heated orthopedic Aero seats.
Leather regularly cleaned and conditioned using Gliptone cleaner and conditioner

Back seat hardly used, folds down for extra cargo space. Custom

front seats. Note the optional SAAB DCC trip computer.

If this amount of space is not enough, back seats fold nearly
flat for lots of cargo space.
If Buy it Now is used, I will toss in a bunch of spare and
potential upgrade/maintenance parts I have accumulated in my personal stash.
Otherwise, I have plenty of 9000 customers and I'll just keep them in inventory.
who am I? why am I selling?
I am Chip Lamb, owner
of West of Sweden SAAB - we specialize
in the pre-1980s "vintage" SAAB. Inasmuch as I have enjoyed my
Aero, I need something I can guiltlessly pile the miles on, and I'm starting
to feel guilty as I approach the 50,000 mile mark and am using my primary
car a lot more than perhaps I should use this particular car. Of course,
you may look at this as an opportunity to get your hands on one of the lowest
mileage Aeros extant to drive daily for the next 200,000 miles; but then
again, I own a 1966 SAAB 96 Monte Carlo 850 2-stroke with 58,500 original
miles, and it's just my perspective that this car ought to be someone's
weekend enjoyment car. The 9000 Aero is a car with exceptional power and
road-feel which Saab have not duplicated in any of the new cars quite as
well for the true sportscar enthusiast, while retaining much functionality
in a 4-door hatchback configuration. Sell the Porsche 911 or the BMW M3
and pick this up - you will be pleasantly surprised!
This car has never been abused by youthful exuberance nor
has it ferried young children around - everything works and feels as it
should. In 1995, this car had a sticker price of over $45,000 - I have the
original window sticker and it comes with the car in the owners manual pouch.
Against new SAAB 9-5 Aeros, I prefer this hands down, and it still behaves
as it did when it was new - for I drove a few with under 100 miles on them
at that time.
So, I think I will find something else to pile the miles on,
and let this car go to someone who appreciates it as much as I do, but has
different goals for it.
