This 2000 Saab 9-3 Viggen convertible is finished in Lightning Blue over charcoal and blue leather and is powered by a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes 17″ wheels, fog lights, a black soft top, a rear spoiler, and heated front seats. The car was acquired by the current owner in 2002, and service in preparation for the sale is said to have included refinishing the wheels, changing the fluids, and replacing the serpentine belt, brake pads, and tires.
The car is one of approximately 40 US-market Viggen convertibles finished in Lightning Blue for the model year. Exterior details include fog lights, Viggen fender shields, a black soft top, and a rear spoiler.
Factory 17″ wheels are said to have recently been refinished and are wrapped in 215/45 Uniroyal Tiger Paw tires showing 2018 date codes. The brake pads were reportedly replaced in preparation for the sale.
The cabin features charcoal leather seating surfaces with blue inserts and debossed Viggen logos. Amenities include heated and power-adjustable front seats, power accessories, automatic climate control, a CD player, and a Saab Information Display with Night Panel function. The LCD displays were reportedly recently repaired.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and additional gauges for boost pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The digital odometer has 11k miles.
The turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four was factory rated at 230 horsepower and 252 lb-ft of torque. Service in preparation for the sale is said to have included changing the fluids and replacing the serpentine belt.
Power is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transaxle.
