1999 Saab 9-3 Viggen *Rare* 79K miles Excellent

1999 Saab 9-3 Viggen Description

I am not into low ball offers and took in account all of the below in my price. There might be 5 of these in the US with less than 100K miles. The 1999 Lightening Blue Saab 3dr is one of 400 or so examples in US and most are gone or very high mile and storied cars.
Clean and clear title in hand. Cash/Cashiers Check only.
1999 Saab Viggen all original -- no mods. I have owned this Viggen for the majority of its life and have most of the service records. It has a mere 79K miles and needs nothing. It is in 100% perfect working order. It has zero rust. It has OEM rims with no bends. The exterior is as close to new as it can be for age and miles. No dings, no fading, and only a minor rock chip or small scratch here and there that would be typical for age and miles. The interior is a 9.8 out of 10. Only minor bolster wear on the drivers seat. Comes with a full size spare in the trunk. There are no disappointments here. Only selling as I just acquired another Porsche and there is only so much room in the garage as I have 5 other cars and most are exotics. Good collectors car or drive it as it was meant to be.

Walk-around:
Ok. I am a detailing nut so I notice every scratch, nick, chip etc since I spend 20 hours looking at the paint in detail about 4 times a year. There are NO dings or dents of any kind.
Lower airdam mesh - Perfect
Lower airdam - some small scratches - all Viggens do unless it has no miles on it -- see photo. I had this repainted on my own due to scratches at around 40K miles. There is some slight cracking due to age on front drivers side, but not very noticeable. Fog lights work with no cracks of any kind.
Grill - Excellent
Lights - All operational, no cracks
Front Bumper - Excellent condition
Hood - Two small scratches from rocks, 2 to 3 rock chips here and there. The SAAB logo is starting to fade on top side, but these are easily replaced.
Windshield - Its the original windshield - in average shape, one "small rock shot" down by driver's speaker (not in line-of-sight so I left it)
Roof - 2 small rock chips
Rear - Excellent
Rear Bumper - 1 small scratch, hard to see
Drivers Side - Small touched up scratch by door handle (wouldn't photograph), 2-3 tiny rock chips and one half inch scratch (recent) that I did not touch up at this point
Passenger side - Flawless
Rims - I can send pics of each. They are all original OEM and none are bent. They have no real curb rash to speak of, but a little touch up here and there. Great for age
Engine - Flawless - cleaned regularly and in top running order
Interior - as good as when bought new - there is one small surface scratch on the passenger seat one on a piller drivers side. not much material to note.
Electronics - everything works perfect as designed including the SID
Engine:
Absolutely nothing to note. Engine is stock and always has been. Car runs perfectly. Tracks perfectly straight. If car is bought at asking price will include fully working spare T7 DI (worth $200).
Carfax/Autocheck:
I don't have a copy today, but it will show ~3 owners. I have owned this car for about 50K of its 79K miles and sold it to a friend who sold it back to me thru a dealer. So I have owned it twice. The car fax will show an "accident" back in 2004 which was damage repaired to passenger door in a 5 mph swipe to the door that resulted in some paintwork to that door due to the scratches. All of that repair was done by SAAB at Sewell and overseen by me. Picasso couldn't even tell there was paint work on that door.
