All three Saabs at Bilweb’s September Auction 4 — Turbo X, Viggen and 9-5 Aero SportCombi — not only sold, but exceeded reserve prices. Here’s how their specifications helped drive the bidding.
Bilweb’s September Auction 4 brings three standout Saabs under the hammer: a low-mileage Turbo X, a rebuilt Viggen, and an exceptionally preserved 9-5 Aero SportCombi.
A 1999 Saab 9-3 Viggen in Lightning Blue, upgraded to 270 hp and fitted with a new gearbox, clutch, turbo, and timing chain, is now on Bilweb Auctions with reserve met and bidding heating up toward its 110–120k SEK estimate.
In an era when most Viggens are locked away as collector’s trophies, Dutch enthusiast Gerrit Jan Hallink keeps his Lightning Blue 9-3 Viggen alive the way Saab intended—on the road, even in winter. What began as a risky purchase from Luxembourg, with a Lithuanian backstory and English origins, became one of the most fascinating Viggen stories AutoWeek has ever reported.
One of just 97 Laser Red Saab 9-3 Viggen convertibles delivered to the US in 2001 has surfaced on Bring a Trailer. With 106k miles, a full paper trail, and enthusiast upgrades like chassis braces and a refreshed soft top, this no-reserve listing offers a rare chance to own Saab’s most potent drop-top.
This 2001 Saab 9-3 Viggen Convertible made two appearances on Bring a Trailer, first selling for $18,000 in 2021 and then changing hands again in 2025 for $13,000. Despite $9,000 worth of mechanical improvements, cosmetic imperfections and market conditions shaped its final sale price.
