Description from the seller

HIGHLIGHTS
*Supplied with a Federperiti Conformity Guarantee inspection report
*900 Turbo 144 hp version
*Only 37,000 km indicated
*Delivered new in Italy
*Black Milan license plates
*Original colors and engine

HISTORY / OVERVIEW
The Saab 900 Turbo is an iconic coupé designed to combine structural strength, safety and spirited performance while retaining the technical, distinctive character of the Swedish brand. The Turbo version is one of the range’s most powerful iterations, thanks to its supercharged engine, which delivers vigorous power and an engaging driving experience. Today, the 900 Turbo is considered a highly desirable youngtimer and is increasingly appreciated by Saab enthusiasts.

EXTERIOR
Finished in its original Silver Metallic color (code 172 H), the paintwork is largely original and remains in good overall condition, with some signs of use and age. The plastic trim and all the characteristic details are original and well maintained, as are many of the other details. The original wheels are in very good condition, as is the new set of wheel-arch trims recently installed.

The underbody is in solid, original condition and well usable, having been well preserved; it also has a recently installed new exhaust.

INTERIOR
The interior is well preserved, complete and original, in accordance with identification code C14 shown on the label, and in very good condition, including the dashboard, original steering wheel and all the details. It shows only minimal, normal signs of use and age. The headliner is also in very good condition, and no water enters through the sunroof. The dashboard has a few typical cracks, though fewer than usual. A sanitizing treatment has just been completed.

MECHANICAL
Mechanically, the car has its original engine, as stated in the registration document. It runs well, starts immediately and can be driven on private property. The clutch and gears also work correctly, and the turbo works well. In addition, the car has Carfax-guaranteed mileage and no accidents have been reported. However, the car has seen little use recently, so a routine general inspection is recommended before undertaking long journeys or using it regularly.

Disclaimer

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
