Saab Service Centers - 180 in North America Posted by Gary Stottler [Email] (#1463) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Gary Stottler) on Mon, 9 Feb 2015 11:58:49 In Reply to: Still a skeptic, No Snaab, Sun, 8 Feb 2015 10:58:24 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
According to saabparts.com, there are "over 180 Official Saab Service Centers throughout North America" (I think that at the peak there were 240 dealers, more recently about 200).
As a rough estimate, there are something like 150,000 - 200,000 Saabs less than 10 years old (2005-2011) in the US, so for the next 5 years at least there's plenty of good business in parts and service for those cars. 10 years down the line when only 50,000 cars are left it may be a different story. And granted, there are not 1000s of 9-4Xs, but the point is there's service info, expertise, and tools available for the reasonable future, and as pointed out in my earlier post parts don't seem a problem either. Driving a Saab always required a little more interest and effort in return for being a bit unique. If that's what you want, go for it. If an appliance is what you want, there are plenty of Chevies, Fords, Toyotas, etc. out there that don't require interest or thought.
Hope that helps,
Gary
