Here is everything replaced over the last few month. Please note we only purchased manufacture specific parts (OEM). Often times they cost 2-3 times the cost of discount (autozone) parts but there lifespan and build quality are worth it to avoid future service.

We hope the potential new owners can note a few things listed below and thanks for reading through :) Price is firm. If you'd like to see the car please call to schedule a time, most times work during the day we just lead busy lives too so if you are serious with funds, calling is best. If you have other questions, email is fine. No text please. We are not in a hurry to sell the car, we may just end up keeping it. Defiantly don't need help selling the car if you are a business or something. Just please be respectful of time and only contact if truly interested. The car lives up to the hype. So fun and unique. As far as convertibles go, the Volkswagen bug/beetle and audi a4 cabrio or tt and mini cooper are built horribly and are prone to so many problems. mercedes and bmw second owner cars (around 90k miles) are very dependent on previous owners but most in this price range have 120k+ miles. You will have service issues even if you buy from a dealer because they will only repair what needs to be done, not what should be done. This Saab is set up for longevity and years of maintenance free enjoyment. Thanks for reading and best wishes. NO TEXTS PLEASE, NO PHONE NEGOTIATIONS.
