In the history of Saab North America…. They made 4228 9-3 Aero Convertibles with the V6 engine(largest engine ever offered in Saab convertible) Saab Made the High Performance Aero with V6engine for only years, 2006-2008. Only 772 of those Saab 9-3 Aero Convertibles had the veryrare speed manual transmission. Only 34 of those featured Laser Red Paint. (Less than 4% ofSaabs are red) Only of those had beige cloth tops. (Rare Top Color) Only of those was made in the desirable 2007 model year,this one. According to the Saab registry databaseonline, of all Saab convertibles there are only registered with less odometermiles for ALL years and ALL locations:.  And according to the Swiss Performance firm Hirsch that was theequivalent for  Saab of Series (BMW)and AMG (Mercedes),  less than twenty 9-3Aero Convertibles received the Hirsch performance upgrade per their records. In an email to Felix Minder at Hirsch Performance in Switzerland on 9/27/16 asked "As collector of Saabs and someone proud of your products, was wondering if you could provide data to me? I'm wondering how many 9-3 aero convertibles in the USA have received your performance tuning" to which his reply was "It will be one of very few, right when we opened the US marked for us, Saab went bankrupt. Maybe one of twenty?" The vehicle is very, very fast with the responsive turbo charger and Hirschupgrade. The vehicle is governed to reach speed of 164mph although I’ve nothad it above 100mph on the interstate and was not even yet in 6thgear. Published specifications from Hirsch state the following: 275hp 5500rpm, 400Nm 2000rpm, 0-100kph in 6.7s, 60-100kph in 4th gear in 4.0s, 80-120kph in 5th gear in 6.9s. This vehicle is one half to two seconds faster in all benchmarks than standard Saab Aero V6. Hirsch was authorized by Saab North America as dealerperformance upgrade eligible for those Saabs in North America as the only legalmeans to have high performance Saab without voiding the Saab factorywarranty. Unfortunately, only couple Saab dealer locations in the USA had the costlyequipment required by Saab and the necessary training by Hirsch in Switzerland to do the authorized performance upgrades. This is one of thoseunicorn cars that got the Hirsch upgrade. It gets better. The car was literally owned and driven by alittle old lady in California who bought it for just shy of $50,000 from Swedish Motor Cars-Orange County Saab of Mission Viejo. The firstowner (I’m the second owner) acquired the car new in 2008 and it was receivedby living trust registered for her benefit at an address in SouthernCalifornia. Sadly, the original owner’s estate had no idea what kind ofcollector car they actually owned and the estate traded off to Lexus dealerin Southern California that in turn dealer transferred it to an auto auctionand ultimately to luxury used car dealer on the Pacific Coast Highway in HermosaBeach, California. bought the car the first day they offered it for sale andhad it imported to the Midwest last Fall.  Since this car is of such high quality, low miles and in therarest of all configurations invested into what is required to make this ashow winning car. spent $500 on auto detailing of the car including clay barwork, $2000 on having the front cowling replaced (they ALL crack when peoplehit curbs), and hired the best paintless dent repair company in the Midwestto remove every micro dent from the car’s exceptional original paint. Thisvehicle is ready to be show winner and is survivor class eligible also.
A list of the documentation included: Original window sticker (Monroney), original sales records of Mr. Ted Bickler that sold the car, warranty documentation, warranty and service record booklet, infotainment manual, in car safety and reference guide, pirelli tire warranty, owners manual, canvas folder, lojack early warning certificate and folio, super polysteel window protection warranty, current owner records from authorized Saab service center, Hirsch performance certificate from hirsch-performance.ch and other miscellaneous documentation relevant to the collector.  The only other work done to the car was new batteryinstalled last week and scheduled maintenance by Patrick Cadillac-Saab inSchaumburg, Illinois. The vehicle includes high quality Saab car cover, two setsof keys, all the original manuals and paperwork, back seat windscreen/tanneaucover and my records of the vehicle.  No accidents. Clean vehicle history report. This is simply the finest and rarest modern Saab you'll find anywhere.
Prior to my purchase of the vehicle less than year, less than 1000 miles ago, hired one of the best known Saab experts in the nation to personally inspect the vehicle. Anders at Swedecar in Torrance, CA personally inspected and drove the car before acquired it as wanted to make sure the car was as impeccable as believed it to be. His testimonial and assurances led me to acquire the car sight unseen. 
Update as of June 21, this eBay listing has caught the attention of the collector and Saab auto blogs online. There is nice feature about this car on Saabplanet this morning front-and-center on their homepage. Thanks for the blogging Saab fans!
