Description of 1971 Saab Sonett

Most people interested in this car will probably have a lot of questions so let me start by saying I am not a car guy and I do not know much about the history of this Sonett. I don't know much about cars in general. Sorry about that. I bought this Sonett because I've wanted one since I was a little kid. I have not been disappointed. It is as fun and quirky as I thought it would be. I purchased this Sonett for 11k on EBay from Ideal Classic Cars in Sarasota FL in May of 2012 and had shipped to California. It runs and looks great. This is no show car but it is a fine example of a '71 Sonett. I had planned to use it as a daily driver but my commute is so short I tend to do it by either bicycle or motorcycle. And more importantly. the more I drove it the more I realized that this car belongs in the hands of someone who will preserve and care for it. There are too few of these left to risk driving it in LA traffic. So the Sonett sits in my garage and awaits a new owner. Here's what I do know:This car seems to have been in New Jersey and California before it ended up in Florida. There are some paint chips and I do not believe the engine is original. There is some pitting on the rearview mirrors. This Sonett does not suffer from the rust problems that plague many of these cars. The carpet in the cargo area is faded. but not terribly. The photo I have of the cargo area is not even close to color accurate. In the 3 years I have owned it I have driven it less than 1500 miles. The odometer is not accurate. The true mileage is unknown. If you have questions I will be slow to answer Monday thru Friday so please be patient.
