Hello.
As far as i know, black Dis are all back order.
Saab changed black di to new version.
there is more than 500 back orders on saab.
The new type of di for 9-3 (99~2003) & 9-5(98~on) has new blue color
(not completely blue, just part of it is blue.)
and best of all (or worst of all.) there is no more core charge.
Currently their price(M.S.R.P) is (for 9197559) 414.00 plus 250.00 core charge. In other words, If you don't give old one to saab you need to pay 664.00 dollars . (Some dealerships doesn't care about core charge.)
Now. new one. (30583218) slightly go down on price (410.00 ) and no core charge.
Expect delivery for new dis are about first week of Oct.
and if you have old one, you can get core charge (250.00) until some time next year.
In other words, If you think you want to change to newer Di, this is the time. If you give your old one back to dealer ship and got new one, you can get newone for 410-250 which is 160.00 for your price.!!
Not too many dealership wants to this kind of deal. but if you know somebody on dealership service/parts department, next time you stop by, just spend little bit over 150 bucks and have peace of mind for long time.
I haven't heard improvement on newer style Dis.
Thanks for reading.
