2003 SAAB 9-3 Aero Turbo Cabriolet

Basic information and history

SAAB 9-3 Aero Turbo Cabriolet manufactured in 2003 and imported to Sweden already in 2005. The car has traveled just under 111,956 km and had four owners during that time. The current owner received the car as an 80th birthday gift from the family but has now realized that it unfortunately does not fit and therefore needs to be sold after a short ownership. The previous owner was a SAAB enthusiast in Kalmar who owned the car since 2020 and the owner before that was a woman in Växjö who bought the car when it was imported from Germany in 2005. The car has only been driven in the summer and is in a rust free condition, ready to be enjoyed again during the summer months.
