1997 SAAB 9000 CS 2.3 Turbo Automatic – A50 Anniversary Edition in Good Driving Condition

Basic Information and History

Here’s a chance to own a classic 1997 SAAB 9000 CS 2.3 Turbo Automatic with a mileage of 325,000 km. The car was originally sold in Sweden and has had only four owners since new – the first owner kept the car for 24 years, indicating careful maintenance and long-term ownership.

This model is a rare A50 Anniversary Edition, making it especially interesting for collectors and enthusiasts. The car still features the characteristic anniversary wheels and original seats with embossed aircraft logos in the backrests – details that reflect SAAB’s aviation heritage and make this model unique.

The mileage can be verified through the vehicle’s history, and the car recently passed inspection without any remarks (2024-11-01).
