Notice to bidders: The end date of this auction has been extended to accommodate the State Funeral of Her Majesty The Queen

Highlights

  • Exceptional condition throughout
  • Highly original
  • Extensively restored
  • Low mileage 

The Appeal

The 9000 series was built on the success of its predecessor the Saab 900. 

Offered in a wide variety of models and options over its 14 year production run, the Saab 9000 sold well thanks to its combination of exciting performance, luxurious interior, incredible build quality (with lots of extras not found in other cars of the time) and stylish design.
This 9000 CDE has the two litre Saab turbo engine which has been remapped by Saab Noob to around 220bhp, making it a quick car even by today's standards, this also has optimised the car for use with E10 fuel. 

In excellent condition throughout thanks to the extensive work carried out over the last 5 years this 9000 CDE is a fantastic opportunity to acquire one of these future classics in exceptional condition.

The History and Paperwork

  • V5 Present
  • MOT until June 2023
  • A folder with a print out of every MOT and all work carried out along with the date and mileage
  • A selection of previous MOT’s documenting the mileage
  • An invoice for welding to NSR and OSR wheel arches, ARB bushes and drop links, wishbone bushes and new cam cover with gasket
  • An invoice from 2019 for oil and filter change and brake fluid change
  • An invoice from 2017 for a full refurb of the wheels
  • An invoice from 2017 for a full respray in Ruby Red, new heater matrix and HID headlight upgrade

The Interior

  • Cloth interior 
  • Wooden trim
  • Exceptional condition throughout
  • Drivers heated seat and the rev counter would benefit from attention
  • DAB radio fitted
The interior of this 9000 presents excellently, showing only the slightest signs of wear. 

The wood trimmed dashboard clearly draws influence from Saab’s jet fighter cockpit designs and looks absolutely fantastic, whilst the seats, door cards, trim and headlining all also present excellently. 

The interior feels every bit as much the luxury executive cruiser today as it did when it was made.

The Exterior

  • Excellent condition throughout
  • Minilite wheels - original refurbished wheels are available with the car
  • Full respray in Ruby red in 2017 that still looks fantastic
This Saab 9000 looks simply gorgeous finished in Ruby Red with the Saab Ronal “Minilite” wheels. 

Thanks to the extensive work carried out that has included not just a full respray but either replacing or refurbishing many exterior trim components on the car, it is in exceptionally good condition, so much so that during the photoshoot several passers-by commented on it.

 There are no marks, scratches, blemishes or fading that we could see anywhere, we think that it would be hard to find a better example of a 9000 CDE than this.

The Mechanics

  • Long MOT
  • Starts easily and idles smoothly
  • The owner reports that it drives perfectly
  • Colour matched rocker cover
  • Recent new battery
  • Four good tyres
  • Auto gearbox service in 2021 
  • A/C serviced and functioning well 
As with the rest of this car the mechanics present very well indeed. 

As can be seen from the images both the engine bay and undersides appear in excellent condition and as shown in the printout of the history the car has only covered 1600 miles since the last service. 

The extensive documented history shows how well cared for this car has been and that it has clearly wanted for nothing.

Summary

There can be few if any Saab 9000 CDE’s on the road in this condition. 

Excellent throughout and with a remap that not only deals with E10 fuel but also brings the power up to an impressive 220bhp it not only looks great but also has excellent performance. Running beautifully and with a long MOT it’s ready to drive and enjoy.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
