got a new car guys....
 
hey guys,
i just got a 2004 Saab 9-3 Aero. with 39k miles.
My previous car was 00 maxima, as most of u know. I had an accident
with my maxy on the 28th of october and it was fixable but I just didn't have time/place and money, so I sold it. I found this nice saab, and so far its been a great car, there is a LOT of power, 210hp for a 4cyl, and the turbo comes in very well when needed. Also the handling is just incredible, its got the sporty rims/aero kit and suspension, so it looks sweet too. Interior is also great, so many great things on it. It was between this saab and an 04 Maxima 6spd. But maxima had 66k miles and saab had 39k miles, and saab was lil more expencive then maxy, so i went with saab, just cause' my last car was a maxima and I wanted to get something different. Here are the pics of my new saab. Also i wanna thank everyone for helping me with my 2kmaxima, its been awesome being part of the .org and i'll never forget you guys. I'll still swing by sometimes, and also I am in contact with some of u guys and its just great. Thanks A lot guys

maxspeed96CT 12-28-2007 11:48 AM

Im not realy fimiliar with sabbs are far as performance was, but last time i as in one the interior looked neat, and the back seats were heated so i was lovin it.

Good luck with it.

95 Maxnout 12-28-2007 11:22 PM

Nice ride.Enjoy.....

Drockb418 12-28-2007 11:49 PM

so what happen to the old max?

DrunkieTheBear 12-29-2007 12:10 AM

Saabs = Amazing Cars

If I ever wreck my maxima, it will be either what you just bought or a BMW 330Ci

TurTLe* 12-29-2007 01:14 AM

is this a saabaru?

looks really nice, looks to be a auto so i have to ask about the turbo lag with it.

shift_2kmaxima 12-29-2007 08:24 AM

occhoppersb418 - i had an accident with maxy, and i sold it to some guy for like 1300 i believe, he is going to fix it and drive it i guess.
silmax00 - yeah the saab is pretty sweet man, its so fassssstttttt haha.
and yeah it is automatic, but i dont notice any lagging with the turbo, once it kicks in, it just does sand u get shoved to the seat ;).

DrunkieTheBear 12-30-2007 11:02 AM

friend had a saab and he took the stock turbo out and he upgraded the system it only cost him about 1,500 and he's now putting down 330 whp.

BLACKonBLACK98 12-30-2007 01:23 PM

nice. saabs are very overlooked.

jaep0913 12-30-2007 01:35 PM

i always loved how the SAABS looked, even though ive never been in one.
good luck with everything

icuminpeace07 12-30-2007 03:17 PM

NO sir...the Saab 9-2x is often referred to as a "Saabaru" b/c it is a badge-engineered Impreza...

Pearl93VE 12-30-2007 03:55 PM

Nice Saab! I was trying to talk my friend into a 95' 9-5 Turbo but he backed out on it. I learned how to drive stick on an older 92' 900 N/A. Fun little cars...

Does yours have the sweet *** cupholders and "night time sneaky mode" like the older one's did?

Hah, there's usually like a stealth button that turns off all the gauges and dims all the illumination buttons...

SEmy2K2go 12-30-2007 07:23 PM

Good looking car. Nice upgrade.

You mean like almost every single car on the road does? :gotme:

MintVQ35 12-30-2007 08:05 PM

Nice looking Saab I really like the looks of the 9-3 Aeros.

ChromeSE5 12-30-2007 09:40 PM

Real nice Huso. Any plans? The exterior looks like it can hold off for while (the ride height and rims are nice for stock).

hybridioN 12-31-2007 12:59 AM

someone around here has a white one all done up. those cars are sick, and in my opinion just as good as the subaru.

"What hasn't changed are the remarkably comfy front seats, self-adjusting seat belts and the Night Panel feature, which dims all the gauges except the speedometer for distraction-free night driving. If anything on the panel needs attention -- say the car starts to run low on fuel -- the gauge that needs attention automatically lights up."

Snypa 12-31-2007 05:02 PM

i like it. looks good.

aventerav 12-31-2007 05:52 PM

Very nice!

MaxxedOut624 01-01-2008 01:41 PM

That car is amazing. Looks so clean. Great choice. If you dont mind how much did you find that car for? Great mileage

shift_2kmaxima 01-01-2008 06:00 PM

eh, thanks a lot guys, i didnt know there were so many saab fans here on the org.
but i just got back from my first trip with saab, i went to st.louis (300 miles) and i did around 26mpg which is not bad at all, i was pleased with it.
I do have this thing called "nighpanel" and when u press that button all the dashboard lights go off besides 0-90mph (you can also have 0-160 glow) speedometer, so u are not distracted with all the other lights. The interior is very bright, and it looks really sweet at night. Everyone i drove so far, they always tell me "wow this looks like an airplane. haha which is kind of funny. The car is very very very fast, i love the power. I dont know if iam going to be doing any major things. I"ll tint the windows hopefully sometimes next week, and i'll see whats gonna happen from then. I wanna keep it as stock as much as i can.
Maxxedout624, the car had 39k miles when i bought it and the price was 14.8k. which was really really good compared to some 19k price that kbb offers. Car has been driven by a 57 year old man since it was shipped to US. So its a one owner car. Iam very happy with this car.
i'll post some more pics of the car, i just gotta download them off of iphone ;).
take care, thanks for all the kind compliments

shift_2kmaxima 01-01-2008 07:42 PM
