What is the consensus; it looks like the airbag light is on while the car is running.

Could be a sensor or maybe the clockspring...



Here is the listing:

Airbag light is on and car is idling.
I do not guess, so I recommend TECH2.

I doubt a Subaru dealer has a Tech2. This car is a 5 hour drive away. I am trying to determine the max amount so I could use that in negotiations. I plan on doing any and all work myself. What do you think about the car in general?

It doesn't look like a clockspring for a 2009 is in stock at eeuro, so that has me a little concerned.

Clockspring P/N: 32019886 Clockspring is in Orio warehouse in Sweden (15 units).
Generally looks quite OK , but I do not see all details, because I am over 10000 kms away.
I see only 1 key!

Rare to find seats in that good a condition!
I would call and ask about the airbag. In some states there is a law against selling a car with a hazard like no working airbag so you may be able to get them to fix it.
Otherwise it looks great, I like the color.

Here is the other one I am thinking about. Price is definitely high.

Yes, I noticed that too. I would need to get a new key made ASAP.

Wow, this one sold fast... I have a feeling i am going to regret not jumping on that one. How many 50K 2009 wagons are left? Probably none.

 

[Combi-not-station]

Now the pepper green SAAB is sold. Can't they wait till I make the road trip???

This is harder than I thought.

 

[MNtastic]

Here's one for you. It's not low miles, but it's 2011 and a manual, rare as hell.

Thanks. But I am specifically looking for a 9-5 wagon.


I appreciate the thought.

Well ****, you got me looking at newer Saabs and now I am seriously considering buying a 2009 93....
Would have the 7 speakers and power seats, but would have the fuel sender gauge issue again. Also, black leather looks so much better than my grey.

Remember, they are not making them ever again. I can always get a VW wagon, or mercedes wagon or whatever. No more SAABs.


I might be looking at a Jag X-type Estate tomorrow. They only imported 1500 of them into the US.

Part of the appeal of a Saab is that they are a relic of the past that will never be again. They are not REALLY that special physically, but they kind of tell a story. I was thinking last month I should buy a hybrid in case the next war is with Iran and gas prices rise again.
But most other cars are bland copy-paste molds of plastic and metal. They don't evoke a different time or a changed world. We are all the last of our line.
We will never again be made, at least with the same memories and experiences which made us who we really are.

The clock for me is ticking, just as fast as it is for Saab cars.

Precisely. Time keeps on ticking...into the future. This is no time to be driving a bland, generic car.

I agree. Especially since it seems the industry is going downhill. Companies are cutting cars for SUV's and pickups. Not to mention the EV's, and the new safety mandates - it's really going to suck when cars are GPS locked to the speed limit.

Enjoy em while you can.

 

[Combi-not-station]

I am scoping out two AERO wagons. We shall see...

 

[Combi-not-station]

This is hard...where are all the 9-5 wagons?

It's just like dating and finding the right woman.

Exactly. Good thing I have a back up vehicle.
