EnG Saab Shopping - The Agony of Defeat
Well.
I’m.
So.
Deflated.
In the last post in a comment I indicated that there was a new lead on a great car.
Unfortunately, I had no idea that at that very moment, the car had already been sold. The small specialty dealer was in the process of selling it to one customer as I was speaking to another person there.
This was it:
2000 Saab 9-3 Viggen - 1 Owner - Luxury And Performance - $7900
We are excited to offer this 1 owner 2000 Saab 9-3 Viggen finished in silver over black leather with 109K miles and a 5 speed transmission. Saab enthusiasts will recognize the Viggen as a model combining luxury and performance while still offering good economy. Swedish quality at a very affordable price! We have done a basic service and state safety inspection. All power equipment is in working order with a strong engine, clutch, and transmission. Super clean car inside and out. Carfax shows no accidents and is available for your inspection.
I’m going to go cook dinner. That’s all that I can say.

Lucky you didn’t buy it…. the steering wheel is on the wrong side!!!
OUCH!
I feel your pain, Eggman. I feel your pain.
Very sad indeed.
Keep looking old chap,something will come along.
My condolences, Eggs. A Vig’ would be a great addition indeed.
But to the patient come the best offers. There’ll always be something else out there.
Sorry to hear that, EG. There’ll be another Viggen in your omelette one day ….
you ought to keep an eye on the saab link classifieds. quite a few viggens have come up lately, though probably not at that price.
that Viggen actually showed up on my radar as i my subaru faced a posible terminal problem this morning. shame on me for being so quick to shop, the ‘ru only needed an ignition coil assembly (or something like that).
happy shopping EG - there are more Viggens out there!
Swade, you shouldn’t call Eggs Eggman…because he’ll be accosted by hedgehogs.
Anyway…that car is pretty much a color and a transmission away from my ultimate Saab dream. Sucks hard, Eggs. Keep on trying.
