History scoring above average Made in Nystad, Finland in September
2001, this is of the final 322 Saab 9-3 Viggen convertibles
imported into the US in 2002. Viggens were a limited-edition,
high-performance variant 9-3. The ?Viggen? (English: Thunderbolt)
is named after the Saab 37 Viggen aircraft and was developed by
Saab with input from the Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) Group. Sold on
an actual mileage title, currently showing 122xxx, same owner since
2005. Wearing Metallic Silver, (code 268), the car?s paint and trim
are in overall very good order. The black canvas, power-folding top
is in good, original shape, including the rear glass with defroster
element. The bodywork is straight and solid. and the body-colored
bumpers fit tightly to the car. The exterior of the Viggen features
a larger rear wing, aerodynamically designed bumpers and side
skirts, model-specific 17-inch alloy wheels and upgraded brakes.
This Viggen rolls on Goodyear Eagle GT radials, size 215/45ZR17 at
every corner. Each tire is mounted to a Saab alloy wheel. The
wheels show blemishes while the tires are in very good order. The
Viggen is powered by Saab?s 2.3L, 16-valve, DOHC B235R slanted
engine, running at a 9.3:1 compression ratio and fitted with
Nimonic valves and a Mitsubishi TD04-HL15-5 turbocharger. In 1999,
the Viggen was the first 9-3 to use Saab?s Trionic 7 engine
management system. The cars are equipped with a higher capacity
intercooler, performance-tuned ECU, flow-through muffler and tip,
stiffer gearbox casing and stronger output shaft, a heavy-duty
clutch and pressure plate, stiffened and lowered springs with
revised spring rates, firmer dampers and stronger CV joints and
driveshafts. Backing this engine is a five-speed manual
transmission. The Viggen is only available with a five-speed manual
transmission which features an electronic torque-sensing function
to prevent damage to the gearbox. Driver convenience features
included electronic climate control, power rack-and-pinion
steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, power windows, power locks,
power sideview mirrors, power front seats with heat and memory
settings and cruise control. Safety equipment includes dual front
airbags, side airbags, anti-lock brakes and traction control. The
interior offers special bolstered and colored leather seats and
door cards in black with blue inserts (?Charcoal?). The front
buckets are in overall satisfactory shape, with the driver?s seat
showing proof of previous owner enjoyment, particularly on the
driver?s side bolsters. The carpet in fine form, as is the
four-spoke steering wheel. The instrument panel and inner door
panels are in very good order. The console-mounted shifter shows
wear. A factory AM/FM stereo completes the interior. If you?re a
Saabophile looking for something more challenging than buying a
pristine classic to drive or show, consider this 2002 9-3 Viggen.
