2001 Saab 9-3 Viggen Convertible Very Rare Laser Red
I am pleased to offer this very rare laser red 2001 Saab 9-3 convertible Viggen. According to my research, this car is only 1 of 97 laser red Viggen convertibles produced in 2001. VIN # is YS3DP75G917012774.
The mileage on the car 230,000 +/- miles and the condition is much better than the mileage would indicate (see for yourself). Must be a tribute to the highly attentive servicing that was done to this car since day 1. Car comes with a tremendous amount of service records dating back to 2001. The file is a solid 3 inches thick (see pic).
In addition, the car was just inspected by a Saab marque expert in Falls Church, VA. (Dec. 2023) and I just spent $2,800 in needed services. Repairs included:
– New front brake pads, rotors and calipers
– 1 engine mount replaced
– 1 control arm replaced
– Valve cover gasket replaced
– Valve cover and DI cassette refinished (see pics)
Previous owner notes:
– Tires are almost new (Maxtour LX)
– Rear brakes are new (pads, rotors, calipers, and lines)
– New battery
– Oil change
– Added Ferrita Swedish exhaust
The car drives and pulls very well with no engine or warning lights illuminated at all.
Includes:
– Car cover
– Factory wind deflector with case
– Saab branded all weather mats (set of 4)
– 2 keys
– AC blowing cold
– Clean Montana title in the owner’s name
April 2024 update – I had my professional detail spend 4 hours detailing the car. Came out great considering the mileage.
VIN Decode:
According to the Carfax report, (see in pics section), there was rear bumper damage reported in 2007. It’s been repaired.

Designed by Saab’s special vehicle operations (SVO) and Race car tuners Tom Walkenshaw Racing (TWR) the Viggen took Saab’s new, lightweight B235R 2.3 litre turbo charged engine with its already upgraded internals for higher power output, fitted it with a larger turbo, larger intercooler, uprated exhaust valves and strengthened connecting rods and gudgeon pins to ensure the engines reliabilty. This was all controlled by Saab’s new Tronic-7 management system taken from the new Saab 95.
This engine work increased power to 230BHP and 260 lb/ft of torque. Extra power required chassis work including stiffer springs and retuned dampers along with upgraded brakes, stiffer anti roll bars and 215/45 tyres on the Viggen exclusive 5 spoke alloy wheels.
Other upgrades exclusive to the Viggen include unique two-tone leather seats, upgraded steering wheel and a custom dashboard fascia.
Car is located in Ashburn, VA. Come by and take a look.
