One of the Saab Owners Club GB members has a big dilemma – this year he has to decide whether to sell his favorite oldtimer Saab 99 Turbo or not. Paul Goodman recently posted a post on the FB group in which he embarked on this dilemma. According to the owner’s description, as well as the photos he attached, this car is truly exceptional.

1981 Saab 99 Turbo Special Edition

He used this beautiful day to get his beloved Saab 99 Turbo out of the garage for cleaning and  run round the drive today. He has owned this Saab 99 Turbo for 35 of its 39 years and have given it a very gentle life – it has covered a remarkably low mileage of 38,000 warranted, documented miles, and is in original, as it left the showroom condition- never resprayed, never messed with.

Now we come to a dilemma. According to the owner – “2020 is going to be a year of decisions – I have already decided and booked to get some niggling faults fixed – ie water injection system not working correctly, and some electrical (fuse) issues, but apart from these minor problems, the car drives superbly and is a pure joy.

The Option Of Selling The Saab 99

Future circumstances may cause him to investigate the option of selling the car – He has the idea of its value and he won’t be accepting any silly offers, but anyone serious about possibly obtaining maybe the most original and lowest mileage red two door out there should contact him so he has something to work on.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
