Basic Information and History

Now is your chance to acquire a rare 1997 Saab 900 2-door Coupé, featuring an impressive ownership record and extensive documentation. The car was originally sold in Sweden and currently shows approximately 244,500 km on the odometer, which is supported by complete vehicle history and paperwork.

This car has had only four owners in total – two private individuals and two car dealerships. Most notably, the same private owner kept the car from March 12, 1999, to December 17, 2023 – over 24 years – during which the car was carefully serviced by the same garage throughout.

Equipment and Features

1. Period-correct hands-free system installed
2. Original plastic hubcaps (note: some cracks present)
3. Original interior in very good condition
4. 2-door body – a rare and sought-after configuration
5. Original stereo and fully functioning electronics

Condition

The body is in decent condition for its age. There are some surface rust spots on the fenders and a dent beneath one of the side moldings, but no major dents or collision damage. The bodywork remains unmodified.

The paint is generally in good shape, and the glass, trim, light covers, and badges are all of high quality. The hubcaps have cracks, but otherwise, the car presents as solid and authentic.

The interior is also in very good condition, with no damage to the seats, door panels, steering wheel, or controls. The headliner is intact and clean, and all electronics function correctly.

The engine and drivetrain are in excellent condition, and the gearbox operates flawlessly – the clutch was recently replaced and works perfectly. The brakes are also in very good condition, and all mechanical components function as they should.

Service History

The car has been serviced regularly according to the manufacturer’s schedule, primarily at Pema Bilverkstad in Landskrona.

There is extensive documentation, including a service book, receipts, past inspection records, and other paperwork confirming continuous maintenance.

The most recent inspection was carried out on February 12, 2025, with no remarks.

Recently completed work includes:

1. Replacement of the complete clutch kit
2. Repair of a rusty fuel tank strap (performed by a garage)

Summary

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a well-preserved 1997 Saab 900 in the uncommon 2-door body style, with documented history, a long-term previous owner, and top-class mechanical condition.

The car is unusually complete and feels lively, tight, and confidence-inspiring on the road – a classic example of Saab’s engineering at its most reliable. If you’re looking for a characterful, analog car with charm and history, this is a gem.
