Very sad to let my girl go, but it is finally time to move on.  With a little bit of effort & $, she's mechanically sound, Just needs a new owner that can provide the proper TLC.  Open to offers.

2005 Saab 9-2x Aero for sale!
AKA "Saabaru" / rebadged Subaru WRX
clean carfax & title; "2" owners

1 of only ~2000 5MT turbos.  This vehicle has been well-cared for, and treated me well for the last 7yrs.  Technically, I am the 3rd owner, but I bought it from a friend, who only had it for 3mo's.  It does have a few issues that have cropped up since I have not been driving it for the last couple years (garage-kept & covered). But it starts & runs well, NO warning lights, clutch is strong, rust is NOT too bad, and it should have plenty more years of life.

The good:
- starts & runs well
- NO leaks, NO CEL/SEL or other cluster telltale lights
- recently serviced: new rear shock tower metal, replaced driveshaft, CV axle, spark plugs, fuel line & power steering line leaks, rear brake lines, idler pulley, drive belts, CKP sensor, oil change, battery & batt hold-down
- completely stock, besides FlowMaster exhaust muffler (gives real satisfying EJ growl)
- timing belt done by 1st owner (~95k mi), confirmed by Oakos service @110k mi (receipt included)
- always full synthetic oil changes at regular intervals
- compression & leakdown test @ ~110k mi (receipt included)
- brakes (pads & rotors) @ 120k mi
- body is in great shape for 16-yr-old veh
- Rust on frame is not too bad; Strut Towers are now super strong & completely rust-free
- interior in excellent shape
- added roof rails from WRX & unique "SAABARU" & "2.0T" badging
- WeatherTech floor mats
- includes extensive service receipts, original OEM muffler, car cover, & extra tire

The not-so-good:
- AC inop (condenser?)
- Speedo/Odo inop (suspect speed sensor)
- some rust (exterior rear qp's, underbody components & brackets, front subframe, rocker seam welds)
- washer bottle cracked
- RR hub lug snapped off
- other minor aesthetics: "9-2" badging and LH fog surround MIA; fogged headlamps
- probably tires & fluids flush

SOLD...to myself!
After cutting out rear shock tower rust & welding in new metal (plus documenting, of course), replacing multiple drivetrain parts, fixing multiple leaks, & servicing a slew of other issues, it got to the point where I couldn't let her go just yet.

Apparently it is not time to move on lol.  I do still plan on selling sometime in the next year or so, but until then at least, I'm still a proud member of the 9-2x club!

banana One more Saabaru has been SAVED from the rear shock tower cancer! banana
