Overview of 1988 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible For Sale by Owner

Remember Saab? The quirky Swedish automaker that built turbocharged front-wheel-drive cars with aircraft-inspired interiors and unconventional charm. Among its most beloved models of the Eighties and Nineties was the Saab 900—produced in two generations: the original “Classic” (pre-1994) and the later “NG,” or New Generation (1994–1998). Naturally, it’s the Classic models that enthusiasts covet today, and this 1989 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible from Concord, North Carolina, is a fine example. Showing just over 114,000 miles and accompanied by service documentation, this car embodies the spirit of Saab’s golden era. If you’re looking to cruise in something distinctive, characterful, and guaranteed to spark conversation, this 900 Turbo is the perfect choice.

Exterior and Interior

Dressed to impress in black, this 1989 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible rolls on a fetching set of aftermarket BBS wheels that really accentuate its wedge-shaped design and quintessentially Swedish looks. The current owner says that the original wheels are available too, so you can always return to stock if desired. With its elongated bumpers, Turbo badges and black convertible top, this is a car that will always garner a look back as you park it and walk away. It looks sleek regardless of whether the top is up or down. The interior of this 1989 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible features a black dashboard and beige seats, plus some neat chequerboard patterns on the door cards. The car is best used as a 2+2, with the rear seats reserved for kids at most. You’ve got air conditioning, power windows and power operation for the convertible top as well. There’s a Kenwood Excelon head unit retrofitted, enabling you to enjoy music from CDs or USB storage devices. Meanwhile, the car’s lovely analog gauge cluster contains a boost gauge as well – how many ‘regular’ cars come with a factory boost gauge?

Engine

Powering this 1989 Saab 900 Turbo Convertible is a 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four engine. While it’s unclear whether this example features the low-pressure or high-pressure turbo setup—rated at 145 or 175 horsepower respectively—it still delivers the distinctive, torque-rich character that defined Saab’s turbo era. Power is sent to the front wheels through a 3-speed Borg-Warner automatic transmission, ensuring a smooth and effortless drive that complements the car’s relaxed open-top cruising personality.
