Hi. On offer is a full factory Saab VIN decode in a digital and paper format suitable for 9-3 and 9-5 owners.

The VIN of so-called “GM era” Saabs is not onlya plain serial number used for car registration. It also carries a lot of usefulinformation about the detailed specification of the vehicle. Including everysingle piece of factory fitted equipment, optional accessories and full trimlevel. Otherwise, it would not be Saab.
 
This information is extremely useful, for example, when buying a car it can be used as a full finger point check with the seller on what is missing on the exact car to negotiate the price. Might be useful to identify hidden repairs if trim pieces fitted wrong or are irrelevant to the list. Information can also help to prove to your insurance that your Saab is not an ordinary Saab, but was built as a limited edition (Griffin edition; Anniversary, Carlsson etc.) so the claim pay-out is relevant, or repairs are performed accordingly. Also, it is very useful for a true Saab enthusiast to know what exactly was installed on the car at the rollout from Trollhattan doors, and what to buy to keep it in the full stock condition.

At this moment this information is limited to the Saab trade partners and it is nearly impossible to obtain it by the general public, as this information is offered as a Certificate of Conformity item by the dealers, for a pretty high price. But this is why this listing is for. For 1998-2014 Saab 9-3 and 9-5 owners who want to know all about their Saab.


You will receive a digital PDF file via e-mail provided, for you to print, followed by a pre-printed document posted via regular mail. The document will contain around 4 pages of information depending on the model.
Please see the example on the listing picture.


PLEASE NOTE:
Following models only are covered:
Saab 9-3 from 1998 to 2014 any market.
Saab 9-5 from 1998 to 2014 any market.

This is not a duplicate of the Certificate of conformity, as well as not the chassis letter code explanation. This is the factory list of full specifications and accessories fitted for provided “GM era” 1998-2014 Saab VIN.

After you place an order and provide your VIN, in around 15-30 minutes your VIN will be decoded manually in the Saab dealers database and the decoded info will be sent to you via e-mail in a readable PDF format, followed by a paper copy via post, showing and explaining the model year, version, body style, engine, transmission, factory fitted equipment and factory-fitted specifications, as well as optional extras fitted.
 
All Information is obtained via Saab Service and Dealers portal while the seller is not in any way affiliated with Saab Automobile AB, ORIO AB or its subsidiaries or trademark holders, acting solely as a parts reseller.
