Used Saab convertibles for sale near Belvidere, IL

Great car overall. Drives very well and quite punchy and fun with a good turbo. Reliable, haven't had much issues so far. Value is great especially since they are loaded well and its less then 10k for a decent one. VERY VERY safe car, Saab's are extremely safe and this car gives you confidence that you are safe. I have a 2.0T which gets good mpg for its class, I once got around 40 mpg highway. The 2.0T is fun and punchy with impressive acceleration, most reliable too. If your willing to spend a little more and have significant funds for maintenance and repairs go for a 2.8T V6, which is fast. It handles well. Pros: 1. Well priced, good value 2. Stylish and unique design 3. Great cornering headlights xenon 4. Good engine, reliable if maintained, fast/quick 5. Very Safe, Swedish Metal 6. Jet fighter interior look Cons: 1. Rear seat legroom is a little disappointing but not a major issue for me, but if you have a large family i wouldn't recommend this car, go for a 9-5 instead. 2. Paint damages easily when older, these 9-3s can have paint peel issues in the long run if you live in hotter climates. 3. Some interior pieces aren't the best of quality for it's class. Door handles and small things, it can be creaky. Overall: Here and there it has minor disappointments but it definitely makes up for it very well. Great and fun car. I highly recommend this as a first car or commuter, maybe even for a small family.

Crypto Autos called me about the vehicle I am interested in and we talked for a while. The price they had on the car was too high so I an continuing to look for a Mustang convertible.

Everyone either hates or loves this car. I loved the car. It had speed and I really enjoyed the drive of the vehicle. Loved the leather and sunroof Plus the fact it had a turbo

Amazing collection of 911’s. Beautiful set up. Great knowledge, service and zero push. Not my last Porsche I would buy there

Bought used with 30K miles in 2006. Now has 88K miles. Only problem so far is power antenna; we just leave it up. I do oil changes at 5K, replaced spark plugs at 50K, tires at 60K and replaced battery before winter of 2011 (preventive maintenance). All else is original. Fun to drive, quick, 28 mpg local and 32+ travelling. This 2001 4 door 5 speed manual turbo moon roof hatchback is wonderful car. Too bad they stopped making them.

I'm getting ready to buy my third Saab From Peter. I don't know how he gets these high quality vehicles from but the are all over the top. YOU ROCK PETER!!!!

I own a black 2010 station 903. My second Saab. Still driving great. Maitanance haha, 150 € every year. Can tlill tow my heavy trailer 1,5 ton . Try that whith your E-car after 14 years , success

Found a specific SUV I wanted and found it at Auto World. Sent in a inquiry if it was still available. Mike called back and we discussed the truck. Made plans to come and review it. A few phone calls later I made the 300 mile drive with my trade. Came through a couple of snow storms RT 90 and 81. Met Mike and Bill and within a 1/2 hour had the deal done a paperwork going. Gassed up and headed to the Great White North. Again RT81 was it nice, 7 hours later I was back in Western NY. Experience was great, fair negotiations. The entire staff was very helpful. Highly recommend Auto World. Thank you all.

This is the most reliable car I’ve ever owned. Drove her off the lot brand new and 16 years later and 150K miles, she’s still smooth as silk. Only repairs are a window and windshield wiper!! So sad they don’t make these cars anymore.

Anton was very helpful with the purchase and very personable. The process was very smooth.

Nice car, handles well. Plenty of room for passengers. This vehicle has ton of extras, leather, moonroof. The only negative is it does not allow Bluetooth hook up for cell phone.

very friendly sales people. knowledgeable about the ins and outs of many vehicles. I asked if I could bring my mechanic out to check the car himself, they gave me no problem about it!

This car was amazing. It lasted 12 years and 190,000 miles before a tree landed on it and it needed too many repairs. Over those 12 years is only needed an alternator and a seat rip repaired, that is it. The car was excellent as it handled well, it got great gas mileage (averaged 26 mpg in the suburbs, 35 or 36 mpg on the highway), and had nice acceleration with minimal turbo lag. The fact is was so durable made you overlook to some degree the unusual controls. The turn stalk felt flimsy like you could break it easily but over all those years nothing went wrong with it. The key is in the center but that was fine and Saab claimed they did it so you would not hit it with your knee in a car accident, and break your kneecap. This car even had one USB port even though it was a little before its time. The heads-up display worked well. Even though the car was badly damaged by the tree as I had to go off road and damaged the underside of my car badly, my mechanic bought it from me, fixed it, and sold it to a college student. Now it is 13 years old and has over 200,000 miles on the original powertrain. If that is not durable I don't know what is. No car I have owned has lasted as long as that one - not Toyota, not Honda. They also have lasted a long time but the transmissions on both of them died by 160,000 miles for the Toyota, by 140,000 on the Honda. If I could buy a relatively new one again I would but of course I cannot as they are no longer in business. Too bad, despite their quirks, they were durable, reliable, efficient cars.

I owe Tapp Motors (Jr and Sr) a wholehearted apology for what I wrote last night. Seems like we all had challenging days yesterday and our lines of communications were BROKEN. You know, I’ve always given advice about email like this: Write what you want, but NEVER, EVER send an emotional email... I broke my own rule. Also, if you have a problem and misunderstanding then pick up the phone, walk over and have a friendly conversation to clear the air. So, that’s what I did earlier today after not sleeping much last night. I called both gents and explained my feelings and why I abruptly left the lot yesterday. They were very gracious and we all apologized for poor communication. I felt better, they felt better and everyone is smiling and laughing... Life is GOOD! After such a misunderstanding and we’re able to “shake hands” and part friends says A LOT about the Character of the Tapp Family. It’s not often a rather bad communication can be settled and without hard feelings. It’s ALL about the more often and not practiced “Golden Rule”.... Sadly we’re often too busy to stop and smell the roses and more importantly LISTEN. God gave us two ears to one mouth. Gentlemen and The Family of Tapp Motors.... Please accept apology for my err in judgment. I’d gladly send friends and family your way in the future. Class Act!

Got the car back in 2010 with about 11k miles it's still running great with regular maintenance at ~284k miles now. Some minor issues along the way but still runs great.

Tony was absolutely fantastic at International Auto Outlet. She took the time to explain everything clearly and helped me feel confident in my decision. Friendly service, honest communication, and a smooth buying experience. Highly recommend this used car dealership.

The thing I like most about this car is the way it drives! Quiet on the road, handles great and cruises effortlessly at freeway speeds, plus great fuel mileage!

This is my third Saab, second 2001 and second 5 speed. Nowadays for the price you can not beat them. I paid 2k for a well taken care of 2001 with 102,000 miles on it last July. It is a 17 year old car and based on the condition it was in and the mileage, it was definitely babied. The hood needed to be repainted (some twit keyed it) but outside of that was in mighty fine shape. Very comfortable car to drive, decent mileage, 5 speed is fun, and a very peppy turbo charged 2.0 liter engine. Audio was terrible but replacing the speakers and the door speaker amp made a world of difference. I kept the standard head unit as I did not want to break up the integrated look of the interior with an aftermarket unit and I also added an aux plug to it. Car sounds very nice now. The drink holders are a little sad and not very practical but such is life. I have the four door fastback and there is tons of storage available for a car it's size. Key question - would I buy another? Heck yes, especially if it was a Viggen!

First time driving a Saab, it has been great experience. I am looking for to buy another Saab as soon as I get the opportunity.

We bought the Subaru, that speaks for it's self. We really like the all wheel drive.

Very smooth runnin car , looks awesome , pretty decent price also .. convertible top is in tip top condition , tires are brand new

Call or stop by its worth your time, great place for Saab lovers

I have owned my 900 for about 1 year now and am in absolute love with it. I purchased my specific car in Seattle and drove it almost 1000 miles home and never once had an issue. It has been a pleasure to own, drive, and even work on. For a vehicle that’s close to 30 years old and has almost 200k miles on the odometer, it still handles and performs like a dream, feeling like a big boy go-cart. Chassis is rigid and super strong, even today (if you get a fairly rust free example of course), a testament to how well these cars were built. When you look past the weirdest of how everything is put together it is a fairly standard car to work on and not overly hard. No overly complicated electronics here and it serves its purpose well, the 92’ n/a came with a 2.1L DOHC 16 valve 4 cylinder that was also well designed and built and is overall very reliable. Every car has its Achilles heel though and for the 900 it’s the gearboxes. The 5 speed doesn’t feel like something out of a luxury hatch as it does a John Deere tractor and doesn’t fit the car very well in my opinion. It works ok and if driven a certain way it will not give you many issues, but it’s no Honda tranny. If your mechanically inclined and have access to a shop, there’s plenty of upgrades you can do to improve the feel, rigidity, and reliability if you so choose. Overall, I love my car and all 900’s in general and the interior and exterior styling is just gorgeous in my opinion and is very tastefully designed. A worthy classic that you can find for a good price, the community is absolute gold too.

Sales people were attentive and polite. Concerned about customer safety during pandemic even inquired about family. Variety of cars but nothing in my price range yet.

I love Saabs. Fun sporty cars with plenty of power and comfortable ride. They run forever. I like when other Saab owner want to know about the car. And when others want to know about Saabs.

Autos of Chicago truly impressed me with their exceptional customer service and professionalism. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly and took their time understanding exactly what I needed. They showed me several used cars, explained their features clearly, and were completely honest about pricing. The car I chose was clean, well-maintained, and fairly priced. The entire process—from test-driving to paperwork—was smooth and stress-free. I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a reliable used car.

Affordable and reliable luxury car. Sleek design inside and out. Smooth ride with plenty of room for 4. This car is fun to drive and also offers a practical side for running to the grocery store or taking the family out to dinner! Love our Saab!!!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Virginia auto trader and I must say, my experience was fantastic from start to finish. Right when I walked through the doors, I was greeted by friendly and knowledgeable staff. They truly made me feel welcomed and they were especially helpful; they took the time to understand my needs and preferences without being pushy. The test drive process was smooth and enjoyable! I was able to take my desired models out for a spin without any rush. They encouraged me to test various features and gave me all the details about performance, fuel efficiency, and safety. The staff will work with you no matter what your situation is.

I recently purchased a 2004 Saab 9 3 Arc convertible. I knew very little about Saabs but they always intrigued me. I've only had it for a few days but I am very impressed with its overall quality, comfort and performance. Saab stopped making cars in 2012 because they could not compete with their Audi and Mercedes target market. Having owned both of those German brands, I think Saab approaches them in quality. Test drive one, I think you'll enjoy it.

I have been a customer of The Auto Shop (TAS) since I moved to my current home, 1000 steps from TAS. I started as a new customer with their body work on my 1978 Ford Fiesta and for most other cars I've owned since. I became vehicle purchaser in 1997 when I bought a 1987 SAAB 9000 Turbo. Dan, the owner (RIP), told me I should buy it to add some "class" to my ride. I've owned nothing but SAABs bought from this dealership since. It was safe, fast, economical, and roomy, being the fastest "large" vehicle and offering the best mpg of that class as well. The 2.0 liter turbo was the reason. All Saabs after the mid-90s are turbos. The reason I stay with TAS is because Dan's son Tony still offers the best and most economical service in the area. At a time when all others are charging $80~$130/hour for service, TAS charges $68/hour b/c of low overhead. In addition, TAS are the Saab EXPERTS of the area and needn't spend time "figuring out" the problem b/c they have literally "seen it all" having worked on multiple copies of all SAABs available. I even buy tires from them despite having used (and still using for my wife's cars) The Tire Rack several times in the past. There is NO ROOM for underhanded dealing at TAS; such is simply not a part of their standard operating procedures. I have NEVER been as satisfied with a car repair shop as I have with TAS. I recommend them without reservation as a place to purchase a vehicle and as a repair facility. I've even had Rick, the body repair technician, customize parts of several 9000s and 9-5s. This dealership is the best in town. All they sell and work on mechanically are SAABs. I would buy Yugos from this group of technicians. If I moved away from Appleton, I would have to buy a different vehicle with doubtless less desirable service characteristics and policies. Their understanding of the vehicles they sell/service is so good, it would not matter what they sold. Their commitment to good service and fair prices place them FAR above the rest of the car retail industry. Period

Anyone who complains about a Saab simply doesnt take care of it. The Saab has been an absolute joy to have. The car is solid in everyway possible. Yes, the parts can be a bit expensive, but that is due to the company closing its doors in 2011. And the rarer your model and options the harder and more expensive it can be to get. However, as long as you take care of the car and upkeep the basic maintenance it runs perfect. There are plenty of videos to help you diagnosis issues if you have any. And you can always visit forums to ask for help. Yes GM had engineered some stuff in Saab. But the car is literally built to last, as long as you do the maintenance. If you get a lemon i feel bad for you. But other than that its a great car.

I continue to have the pleasure of owning and driving my 2002 SAAB 9-3 for 18 years. It has transitioned from weekend drive to daily commute, which has been nice. I enjoy everything about it, from its quirkiness to unique yet timeless presence. I have had fairly all standard work done on it, in accordance with the maturity of the car. I receive compliments from you

I have bought 3 cars from Tyler this time my son needed and new car and he helped me out again! Go see him

The car met all my MidWest needs with heated seats, plenty of head room and leg room. I enjoyed the 3 door model in which the back seat lays flat allowing for a full sized mattress. The average lifespan for this model when well cared for is: 18 years. Mine proved just that and neared 200,000 miles.

MUY BUENA ATENCION Y SERVICIO, ME CONTESTARON EL TELEFONO CUANDO LES MARQUE Y ME AYUDAN A TRAER EL CARRO A TEXAS
