I TRADED My FIXED Audi For A BROKEN SAAB... And I'm Happy About It? 

The taillights are from 08+ and are a nice upgrade on the earlier model years. They’re not imported or “special”, just a tasteful upgrade most of us do. Love that you got another Saab on the channel. I’m a Saab nerd so this is right up my alley!

That V6 was made here in Melbourne Australia by Holden

Saabs are really special - owning a defunct brand is always challenging, but the community is passionate and parts are still readily available

check the optic fiber loop. all audio goes by optical fiber. if its broken someewhere, there will be no audio. if amp under seat or phone module in trunk id missing, the fiber must be looped

The Front aero lip is missing and replaced with a standard 2.0T or Arc lip. You should get a correct one as makes it way better

In a lot of these, all of the ones I have driven here in Norway, that passenger grab handle is actually an ice scraper. If I remember correctly you could also buy other stuff for it from Saab.

In Europe some people think the 9-3 is just a rebadged Opel Vectra (or Vauxhall Vectra in the UK). But the truth is that’s a Vectra in tuxedo. I’ve driven the facelifted 2009 9-3 Wagon in Sweden 12 years ago and I liked that car very much.

I just went and looked at an 06 aero sportcombi (wagon) with the 2.8T 6 speed manual. I’m most likely going to purchase as a new daily and I’ll be posting videos on my channel of course

Yess!! Been waiting for you to do a Saab again. I had a 9-3 Aero like this for 7 years and I loved it!

I loved these! The ignition switch placement was unlike anything else and the aero model was just soo clean!

The taillights are stock in the US after 2008, a great tasteful mod on the older body style. They’re called Iceblocks within the community. Love my 08 9-3 aero with the 6spd!!

A 74 Porsche 911 turbo does 70 in first gear but it's only a 4 speed. Crazy 0 to 60 times though.

One of my supervisors had a car just like that. It came with those clear tails. The tails look amazing with a little buff and polish. I highly recommend an LED bulb conversion for the back.

Had a 9-3 just like that. Loved the boost, interior and driving experience. Good to find a Saab mechanic because they can be difficult to work on

I miss my 2000 saab 9-5 aero wagon, but also at the same time I'm glad its gone. I've been tempted a couple times to get a viggen, but never went through with it.

Thanks for bringing up memories of me and my dad❤, my dad loved his SAABs thru the years, I thought Nightmode was awesome

Hiphonics is still around. I have three Brutus mono block amps in my Yukon.

Theres an amp under the drivers seat or passenger. Passenger in the uk and all the radio and indicator clicks go through that. Radio no working will be that

My friend had one of those in automatic. It's a very tight package under the hood

I used to work for Saab and got to attend the “Aero Academy” at road Atlanta. These cars take way more abuse then most have them credit for…. The Sweeds knew how to design a drivers car, for sure…

What happened to the 9-5 aero? I love that you make saab content occasionally. Not many RU-vidrs with a decent sized audience like you ever touch a saab.

I have an 06 9-3 Aero Convertible and absolutely love it!

AMP! under the driver seat took on water and that's why your audio system won't work. O-Bus is broken between the ICM, EHU, and AMP1 module.

South Dakota mentioned, nice shirt!

A full detail video would be so satisfying for this car. Its.. dirty..

Love the Saab content, I miss how nice the interior looked in my 9-7x but don't miss the 14mpg lol.

Well it has all the ghetto fabulous bits but it's rough! Usual minimal maintenance ghetto blaster!

Geez, I do hundred mph on 3rd with my 911, I might consider trading!!

You should look for a later model SAAB 9000 turbo. Would be a nice project for a few videos.

Dude, I legit thought it might be a Saab but I didn't want to get my hopes up. Love it!

I had one and it had 230k miles when I sold it and it ran great, the last couple years I think 2011-12 look really good

6 or 8 yrs ago I had a chance to buy an 01 9-3 Viggan convertible from a buy-here, pay-here lot in KC. Guy wanted $1900 for it, but it had needs. Drove from OMA to look at it and there were a few more issues than he told me over the phone. I wanted to buy it so bad but my head said no, too many issues for a quick flip, sev of which were out of my Wheeler Dealer wheelhouse. After I said no, I asked the guy if he knew what he had. He said yes, he knew it was rare. Then he offered it to me for $1500. Sadly I still had to say no.

This is a sweet car I dig it

Who owns Maxxsonics? Found in 2001 by Alden Stiefel and a handful of consumer electronics and automotive security veterans, Maxxsonics is headquartered in Libertyville, IL, in the northern suburbs of Chicago

Use to own an aero was my first car and hopefully I can buy another

I always knew those cars were cool but now I believe they are super cool

I have a spare engine cover battery cover and icm 3 radio. I'm getting rid of my 06 aero if you have any questions about the car I'm very familiar, I also have euro spec bumper running light delete panels

damn I miss my 2007 9-3 SS Aero. One of my favorite cars and bulletproof like my 2002 9-5.

Also I'd you plan on keeping it for a little while, better get a tech II

9000 Aero is best Aero... This V6 is pretty cool, even though Saabs should have turbo 2.3 i4s.

Get rid of it the hood struts work!!! This is not acceptable 😂

Wow, still miss Saab....they just could not help themselves, had to make the best car they could and they are awesome.

You got HOOVIE. And the WIZ. beat in content and car repair. Enthusiasm!!!

I miss my 9-3 aero. Had a black one turboed five speed

Although tailing some seeing online look exactly like the ones you have

Saab Aero? Meh..... JR- want to see you get a Monte Carlo SS Aero! There... I said it...... Step ya game up!

You know real watchJRGo viewers love Saab's almost as much as we love mowers and cheap Honda's!

Saab 93 aero is awesome. What a sleeper. You won on that trade. You selling?

Yayyy Saab! They are so rare now

more saab content lesgooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chainsaw and tree cleanup video coming up next.....

I was hoping for a Saab. I’ve got what I wanted 😍

You would love the Saab 900 Turbo

Still don't like black wheels. Ranks right up there with rhino lining the paint in camo.

lets just say, if the saab is minorly broken, you can keep that silly smile once again.

Front lip on this car is not an aero lip. It is just an arc lip.

Always love Saab content 😍

It’s based off the Malibu but literally everything is different. Theres very few interchangeable parts

The 80s SPG was the best. I raced them, had 9 of them

I want a sport combo turbo x

Wow! You really have a talent for finding cars no one cares. 😅

Yeah, not sold on Saabs, too complicated!

Whats your opinion on Cadillac. CTS v6 ond XT5 SUV. Im lookig at a few now. I really respect your opinion.

Are they rare i the Us? I have 2 of them here in Sweden, they are fun :)

It's the Sab 93 cool aero!!

Not Chevy Malibu,it is GM Opel Vectra/Cadillac CLS

Why not go for a third intro and outro? The double is kind of overplayed!

A Saab JR, are you crazy, hopefully you can prove me wrong, although I do like this shape

You got a cool car and the guy with the Audi got boned🤣

Should have kept the 9-5; they’re FAR better than the 9-3’s

I was sure it was going to be a Ferrari Mondial ….. dang it.

The perfect car to rescue!

isnt this the worst engine saab could have? turbo four bangers are durable and takes nice amount of boost stock.

You're happy? I'm saabing 😢

Hmm i think you started doing the downpipe and realized you'd have to remove the engine .

Sent you an email about a possible project if you're interested

Yeeees! SAAB! 😎👍❤️🇸🇪

No surprise....A SAAB

High quality plastic inside this Saab..

You should have bought a Yugo

Another Saab is rescued. You are amazing!

SAAAAAAAAB story time....ive been seriously considering a 93

The night panel shuts off the speedo past 90 and then turns back on once you hit 85, but you have to enable it in the menu on the SiD (the little screen on the dash) Make sure you JB weld the bottom of those washer fluid sprayers because they like to come apart and leak the fluid everywhere. There's a 3rd company that makes tuning stuff specifically for saabs, they're called maptun and operate straight out of Sweden. Make sure you take off that trim piece with the trunk button on it and check for rust/corrosion. they're not very well sealed. That headlight switch is a dummy switch. saab did this because its an EU regulation that you must have you headlights on at all times and they didn't remove it in the cars destined for America. It doesn't have factory Bluetooth but you can buy a little Bluetooth module that takes the space of the aux cable on Saab plus for 80 euros. shipping takes a long time because its from Norway. That 6 cd changer sucks. it never works and its more complicated than a Rolex. The radio and SiD might not be lighting up because this car has a 3 (factory) amp system and all 3 of them must work for those to turn on. the under under the drivers seat usually gets exposed to the elements and breaks.

Seen this car around Wichita and now you got it! Can’t wait to see this car back on the road.

We drove Saab 9000 Aeros and then 9-5s when I was a police officer in Vail. We would race the state troopers that had the Camaro B4Cs. The 9000 aero was my favorite. It kept up with the Camaros at altitude.

the world needs more saabs

Saab turbo team made this 2.8T combo so good that it's still used today in modern Opel Insignia (in Europe). Some models even come at 325 bhp straight from the factory.

I am so pumped up now! Another Saab AND the special one. I have 2004 95 2.0t manual wagon with a tune (225 hp & 250 ft lb) so not fast as the Aero, but enough for me. Third gear pull is the thing for sure. I can't wait to see more. Greetings from Finland.

this will sound crazy, but check the amp under the driver's seat. also check the fiber optics in the back of the CD changer/stereo/HVAC control and the fiber optics on the back side of the parcel shelf.

The V6 loves to get hot. Timing chain is an engine out job. Other than keeping it cool, and changing the oil often with good 0w40 and filters they are reliable. Owned way too many over the years.

If you wanna have a SAAB meet up, let me know. I can bring my 97 down.

Nice trade up 4cyl turbo auto for a v6 turbo manual can’t beat that

Nice to see a Saab on the channel again.

Very nice JR. I have a 2006 Aero Lazer Red with 171,000 and love it. The 9-3 Saab just looks good.

I watched the movie, If, where the Grandmother drives a Saab 900, (which is shown once)!

Also, these cars do not like aftermarket coil packs. They have to be ac delco or Bosch otherwise it’ll miss and run like crap. The best plugs are NGK for this car (I don’t remember the model number)

I like to think of my Saab as the most desirable spec. I have a 2006 Saab 9-3 Aero with the 2.8 v6 and a 6spd manual. The exterior color is jet-black (paint code 298), with the same exact interior as this one. I love Saab.

I am glad I was wrong this is actually far more interesting.

I hope this is not a saab story. Sorry to sound like a broken aero😆
