This well-kept SAAB 9-3 Linear convertible was built in December 2004 and subsequently Australian-complied in March of 2005. It is finished in lustrous Chili Red Pearl with a light grey soft leather interior, and was delivered new by legendary long-time SAAB dealer Alec Mildren of Artarmon. It has covered a low 143,840km and comes complete with all its original factory literature, owner’s manuals and two remote keys, as well as a complete and up-to-date service log book history. It is important to note that every single service has been regularly performed by the original selling dealer (Alec Mildren Prestige was sold to the Peter Warren Group in 2016 and changed its name to Sydney North Shore Automotive) at the same Cleg Street service centre in Artarmon. SAAB always equipped its vehicles exceptionally well for the time, and this Linear offers supple soft leather trim throughout the cabin, a tilt/reach-adjustable leather multi-function steering wheel, heated front seats, air-conditioning, high-quality sound system with CD player, onboard computer, rain-sensing wipers, cruise control, fold-out front cupholder, four airbags, ABS braking, traction control, 16-inch factory alloy wheels and more. The Linear is powered by a 2.0L intercooled turbo 4-cylinder twin-cam engine developing 110kW/150bhp, coupled with a smooth 5-speed automatic transmission delivering drive to the front wheels. SAAB was a pioneer of the art of automotive turbo-charging, and highly adept at building reliable and under-stressed motors which offered sparkling performance on-demand. This 9-3 drives as beautifully as the day it was delivered, and will delight the enthusiast with its eager and flexible throttle response. It is rare to find cars of this age in such well-preserved condition, and this Linear stands as testimony to the caring ownership and meticulous dealer servicing it has clearly enjoyed throughout its life. With the marque now unfortunately consigned to automotive history as a maker of passenger cars, excellent SAABs are becoming harder and harder to find. This impressive example stands as an engaging and enjoyable tribute to the legendary Swedish auto-maker which uniquely brought aeronautical technology and insight to its automotive engineering, and will deliver rewarding driving experiences for many years to come.
