2003 Saab 9-3SS ARC

Sold.

Dude, it blows. But it's a TOUGH market for these. I had the same year, same options. Re-sprayed and painted front spoiler. No check engine light. And 70k less miles and I got $5,500.

It's a f'ing shame. It's hard to look at that car and go... "sure that's worth $6,300" -- to me they LOOK and feel like they are worth well over that. But Saab going out of business played all sorts of whackness on the market.

It's a shame that they depreciated so hard (for those who are selling), but it kicks ass for those that are buying.

Good luck with the sale!

Yeah its pretty much the same as yours. Just a higher performance motor and 6 speed.

Thanks for the comments. I can definitely see the troubles selling these as Saab itself isn't a major brand. I have been very satisfied with this car and don't feel the need to sell, but I would like a little more cargo space. Too bad Saab didn't make the Wagon series till 2006 for this model.

What is the ARC exactly? Just a better package, with the six-speed and HID's? Another thing, is this the 2.0t or the 2.0T?

[Topher]

Bigger turbo. 2.0 liter. Larger turbo. Six speed vs five speed. Hids were still an option. There wasn't much difference beyond the sixspeed (which is the same 5sp with an overdrive) and a slightly bigger turbo. Arc later became Aero.

And the midnight blue is the best looking color.

[Dex4]

Difference between the engines: 2.0T has bigger turbo with higher factory boost (12.3 lbs), different head assembly, bigger injectors, different cams, different intake manifold, and bigger brakes.

2.0t has 175hp
2.0T has 210hp

If you tune the 2.0T on stage one you will get 250hp and 280tq roughly.

interesting. I might have to keep this on the back burner. My brother just got a 06' 9-3 Aero and loves it! It's decently quick. Now I'm kinda wondering about getting a Saab :p

Great cars, very underated.

I want a MT SportCombi 9-3SS myself.

GLWS!

I hope to some day buy a Turbo-X, I love this 9-3 body style one of the best looking saabs in my mind hands down:)

Goodluck with the sale

[Dex4]

Thanks. They are very good cars. I wouldn't mind getting a Turbo-X wagon down the road.

You could always trade this towards my subaru.

Gah. I'll be looking for something similar to this when I finally ditch that thing.

Doesn't it suck how our cars are worth crap nowadays?

Tyler takes great care of his cars. This would be a solid purchase and a fun car with a lot of performance for the money.
