We haven't featured a Saab in UCOTD in a while, so here's one. This 2008 Saab 9-3 reminds me that Saab still existed 15 years ago.


Four grand gets you this car, which has 140,000 miles and has had a Vtuner Stage 0 since there were 25,000 miles on the clock. There's not much more to the ad copy than the fact that there's an in-dash Nexus 7.

If this Utah-based car appeals to you, click here to check it out.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    With a turbo just change the oil every 5,000 miles. 2001 9-3 with 152k and parts are still pretty available. Maybe because of the GM connection.

    I have a 2004 convertible and it looks like a 5 year old car

  • CanadaCraig I think EV's will become LESS popular while the popularity of hybrids will skyrocket. And stay that way for quite some time.
  • Jalop1991 It would be like saying “85 Percent of American Car Buyers Shunned General Motors” in the first quarter of this year – also true in terms of market share but is an intentional twisting of the numbers.That's not an "intentional twisting of the numbers". That's a cold statement of fact. WTF?
  • Lou_BC There's an industrial road behind the 2nd set of rail yards in my town. It is undeveloped and straight. Over a 1/2 mile maybe more. It's become the unofficial drag strip even though there's a sanctioned strip in town. My son who's now a scout leader was on a civic clean up project with some off duty police. He asked them if they knew of any places that drag racing happens. They all were aware of that road. The unofficial response was, no one else is out there, be careful, and have fun. We were all young once.
  • Jetcal Going to a sunrise Memorial.
  • Lou_BC June 20th is the summer solstice. That's usually considered the first calendar day of summer. I just view this as springtime and the start of mosquito swatting season.
