Starts at $10K, Buy-it-Now for $15K. Seems like a good deal to me for an almost new convertible.

That damn Stealers decal just de-valued the car.... Very nice otherwise! Local shop customer has that exact car - but it's all tuned and modded - will/might be for sale soon too. I'd LOVE to upgrade my vert into a Viggen...

I don't like the Steelers or any decal but I couldn't see it from the drivers seat. That would have been the perfect car for my wife. We came so close but a fellow beat me with hustle and was sitting on the dealers door step at 7 am waiting. Have to wonder if it will make the reserve? She loves the old Weather Band radio and would not even sit in the XWD I brought home for her for two weeks.

Sold for $12,356 ! That's a pretty good deal.

Hey Frank, did you mean a good deal for the seller or for me? The car was as advertised. Only imperfection I could find was a couple scratches on the bottom of the spoiler which is to be expected. Also a light surface scratch on the hood where it looks like someone had a piece of grit on an applicator when detailing the car. The car is totally stock but thinking of the VRC and opening up the intake for a better sound. Don't think the car has had the PVC update but with only 17k miles not sure it's necessary at this point. Any advice here is greatly appreciated.

Believe it or not I have been a lifelong Steeler fan sine the early 70's so maybe the decal was a bit of karma. Not sure if I'll keep it though. All those decals make it look a bit like a traveling billboard.

Personally I would make sure to have the PCV update done - it's only going to help prevent future issues with oil leaks.
What are you talking about when you say "VRC?" Cold air intake? The Viggen already has a sportier exhaust over regular 9-3 - and the BSR system MAY not improve it too much over stock Viggen.

My typing was a bit off this morning, meant to key VRK for Viggen Rescue Kit. Have read varying opinions on the value of this and would appreciate your thoughts. Thanks for the PCV advice.

I purchased this 1 owner 2003 9-3 Viggen on Long Island this week . This car was only driven on dry sunny days . The previous owner was a couple in their 80's. They also owned a 2015 V60 T5 Volvo and 2013 Lexus ES350. She said the top was only lowered at maximum 15 times . The car has 34K original miles and has never been in an accident . All 34K miles were driven in Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island, New York. The only thing the car needed was Brakes. She had all the service records from day 1. I paid 10K for the car. I thought it was well worth every penny.
