Car has salvage title. It was hit on the rear passenger side. engine is perfect condition as well the body and interior. Book value is $18000 on KBB. I am asking $11,800 for it. A must see. Raleigh/Durham area.
I might be interested in the engine if you have to part it out.
LOL have you been reading the news lately I want to geta spare for my 2001 aero also :-)
What news is that?
There are news out of Sweden ( Swedish news paper Expressen) that the B235 engime has some design problem Saab has a high rate of failing engines like 35 out 1000 compared to about an average of 6 to 10 for other brands A manufacturing problem in thousands of cars that can lead to catastrophic engine failures.
They know of the problem but they dont have a fix yet they even talking about compensation for people with problems right now.
Stay tuned
What cars have the B235 engine. I am looking for a newer Saab. Thanks, Oscar
So, does this mean I should stop yanking the engine out of my 9-5, which has had this problem? Anyone have any insight into if the repair needs to be made by Saab, or if they just cut people a check given (what?) evidence of failure, or ???

I'd certainly be discussing this bit of insider news with the local SAAB dealer's service advisor.
