Summary

Saab 9-3 2004 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Saab 9-3 2004: VIN YS3FF45D241047339, production year 2004, diesel fuel engine. Such a check helps to quickly understand how well a specific car matches the market, whether the price looks suspiciously low and whether the mileage is typical for this year.

Insight: The car is over 15 years old — running costs are higher; the key inspection points are the body and anti-corrosion treatment. Diesel — the condition of the fuel system and the DPF matters.

Market position

Based on current data, 9 similar offers were found for the Saab 9-3 2004 (same model and year). Market prices range from $3,000 to $10,200 with a median of $3,700.

Insight: Wide price spread — the final value depends heavily on trim, condition and mileage. There is no specific listing price — the market median serves as the reference.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 1, transfers — 0, plate changes — 0, years in the registry — 1. The latest recorded operation: Re-registration on 2025-07-18. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.

Insight: One registration history with no re-registrations logged. History before import may be incomplete. The car appeared in Ukraine recently — the history is short, its origin matters.
