Description
There is an opportunity here to acquire one of the few remaining Saab 9-3 Turbo X Sport Combi models with a manual transmission. According to available information, only around 250 examples were produced with this drivetrain, out of a total production of 2,223 cars, making it a highly desirable model among Saab enthusiasts and collectors.
This example is presented in excellent, well-maintained condition. Over the years, a few minor areas of rust have been professionally repaired by a workshop, helping to preserve the car's overall condition. The service book is complete and fully stamped by authorized Saab service centers, and supporting documentation, including workshop invoices and receipts, is included.
During the last 40,000 km (approximately 25,000 miles), the car has received continuous maintenance and servicing. Notable work includes replacement of the electronic limited-slip differential (eLSD), ignition coils and spark plugs, front springs, the A/C compressor, and the starter battery. The rear brake calipers were replaced at 191,000 km (approximately 119,000 miles).
The car is supplied with both summer and winter wheel sets, each of which has covered only a few thousand kilometers. Equipment includes an LED light bar, tinted windows, the original cargo cover, and SID2.
This is a car for anyone who appreciates Saab's engineering, driving dynamics, and distinctive character. Behind the wheel, it quickly becomes clear why the Turbo X has earned such a loyal following. For anyone looking for a well-cared-for Saab, this is a particularly attractive example.

Facts about the model
The Saab 9-3 Turbo X is a special anniversary edition introduced for the 2008 model year to celebrate 30 years of Saab Turbo. It was originally planned as a limited production run of 2,000 cars, although according to available information, a total of 2,081 were ultimately built. The model was offered in both Sport Sedan and SportCombi body styles, with either a manual or automatic transmission. All Turbo X models featured self-leveling rear suspension and an exclusive Jet Black Metallic paint finish. The original list price in Sweden was SEK 409,900. According to available information, only around 125 SportCombi models were produced with the six-speed manual transmission.
Performance was equally impressive, with 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in 5.7 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph).
Vi Bilägare magazine wrote in its 2008 road test:
“We put it through an emergency lane-change test, slalom, tight hairpins, and high-speed sweepers. The Turbo X holds its line like a true racing car. The all-wheel-drive system makes the car astonishingly stable.”
The Turbo X received widespread acclaim from the motoring press, with many journalists describing it as Saab’s ultimate road car and one of the finest driver's cars the company ever produced.
