I apparently under-priced it at $1200 and had inquiries from across the country. It was an interesting experience. One person wanted it for the body for his rusted out SPG, but didn't want the rest and wanted to give me very little. Another wanted the transmission and nothing else. But I wasn't parting out the car, I told them. Another thought there had to be something wrong since the price was so low. Another, after I spent several hours talking with him, offered me $500 in cash if I took it immediately. I told him that was too little and he told me I would never get what I was asking. He kept contacting me and repeated the offer. MANY people mistook the car for a 16 valve turbo even though I PLAINLY STATED it was an 8 valve non-turbo naturally aspirated. They all seemed elated to have discovered some kind of secret deal but suddenly disappeared when I explained what an 8 valve was.
So, I met my goals of selling it and getting it to a Saab fan and hopefully keeping it on the road.
In the end, I'm guessing the true price should have been $1800 to $2200 based on the fact that everything works and I included 8-valve spares for basically every system.
Saab Classifieds work. Be sure to state the exact model and condition since you will get many questions if you don't cover every aspect.
