I too am blessed with a 2001 LR Viggen. Interior is almost perfect, Black, new headliner, I am working on the Light Headliner console that was broken in 4 pieces when removed. Exterior clear-coat issues on bumpers and roof. Repainted the spoiler, Hate the set nuts in the spoiler. Good to see another Viggen in Al Tom Jansen, Daphne, Al. “ Mobile” 137,xxx miles.semi daily driver.
Yeah, color red and oxidation is a PITA, I will have mine repainted after taking care of the little quirks. As is, right now it is a head turner but I I want to take it to show car standard.
very nice walkthrough. you got a great deal, love it when previous owners take care of the car and put in lots of mods that you would have, so it saves you money and time! although the blue is my favorite (and just blue cars in general i tend to own/like), the yellow and red viggens are super nice! i stumbled up and ended up buying a silver 5D, which isn't my first choice, but you have to start somewhere! :)
I see you are SAAB Alabama. Where are you located? I am in Daphne / Mobile. 2001 stock LR. I have some clear coat issues on Roof and Bumpers. Interior very nice. Headliner replaced. Had to epoxy the headliner console as it was 3 pieces from removal. Tom.
Nice Viggen You mentioned 303 Protectant What product do you use to clean them though? How long have you been doing this (on this car or others) and what the results like long term? (if you’ve been doing it on other cars too)
Any dilute general purpose cleaner will do. I use Griot’s Odor Neutralizing Leather cleaner. I never, ever use conditioners or moisturizers because they eventually do more harm than good to the leather. 303 is a UV protectant.
Lookin' mah-vulous! Drive carefully & Saab on....... Viggen + Laser red = "A very rare gem" .... I'm restoring a "super rare" 2001 Laser red 4-door Viggen in Cleveland. I Bought it from a very nice couple in Toledo, Ohio who wanted a SAAB-lover to take it off their hands and restore it, and get her back on the road! I believe that there were ONLY 10-15 Laser red 4-door Viggens ever produced for the USA in 2001 (60-65 Total Viggen units in Laser red (includes...convertible+3-door+4-door)...The 4-door being the rarest of all...The Laser Red colored Viggens were only produced for the USA market, and i think, Only ONE Red Viggen went to Canada. Correct me if i am wrong.....All in all, it's probably one of the rarest cars out there! Woohoo! SAAB-ON!
Super! I'm getting one of the Laser 5dr cars next week in Seattle to go with my BMW 535is. GF has an 850T Wagon. I'll be third owner in Seattle, no salt 120K miles. It will not be modded except for VRK and sway bar and maybe a downpipe to open it up a bit if that doesn't wreck the tune. Haha I had an '89 SPG too 20 years ago love 'em.
@@saabmagicman2588 Please tell me you kept the SPG. I'm 58 and the time is running fast gotta' get in what I can brother Peace be unto you! BTW I had an '03 9^3 SE Convertible a few years ago and they put the CF dash on those to my eye it's nicer than the Viggen dash.

A iconic beautiful Saab my freind your a very lucky man thanks for the video I love SAABS
Fantastic. Awesome work on the headliner.
Very nice work. I love the pull that motor has. I’m sure it’s a joy to drive, it certainly is to look at.
Sweet car. Do you have more info on the homelink mirror? Maybe a future video? 😀
Out of a 9-5. Good idea on video, maybe do one this week.
That's it. I have to buy a Saab.

Thanks. Will look into that product.
What do you think of a neutral detergent wipe?
@@joshuapaduch7762 Neutral wipe would be good.
Thanks
Which size auto chaps bolster protector did you get?

great! I sold my LR Viggen to a good home. I'm aging now and need to sell off most of my fleet. Good luck.
