my heated seats went out right after the 36-month/3-year warranty ended. “$300 per seat to fix,” said the overjoyed dealer. that broke my addiction to heated seats. thus, i’ll never buy the “cold-weather” package, or any other “package,” for that matter. jilted, anyone? sure, ordering a 9-3 aero without any packages seems “thin,” but the functional obsolescence of heated seats, in my experience, says otherwise.

Thanks for all the great comments. As for the all tan interior, its definitely not custom. If it was, it is quite good. It has all the viggen logos embossed into each front seat and rear passenger as well. I’d say this is definitely factory. I’ll look into this by emailing the orignal owner and also looking at the original window sticker from the dealership.

I’ve never seen another viggen of any sort with the all tan interior. I don’t know what the availability was like. I’ve suggested it to be more rare than the red/orange/ocre and black two tone interiors, but I have no numbers to back it up.

To be fair all the shots, save for the dirty picture, was taken spring of 2007, so its not that shiny anymore. Can’t wait for warmer weather to give it another full detailing! This time even better!

The black on chrome rims are off for the winter. Not sure if I will go back to them next year. Maybe go a different route and try to sell them off. With the 16″ rims and winter tires, the car looks like a go-cart!

eggsngrits, not sure what POO is referring to.

Oh and the damn heating seats went out, right before my holiday trip into the Cascades. Grrrr.

I love the POO! (Ha!)

Those rims look pretty good—black with chrome rims. I remember that style being popular in the early 80′s. In Ohio (perhaps elsewhere) it’s making a comeback. I’ve seen several newer luxury cars with rims like that.

the car’s beautiful.

and i thought viggens only came in blue.

thanks!
