Vehicle Description
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
124,xxx, 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.
