Plans for my 9-3

So the 9-3 is listed on ebay at a modest buy it now price... Seeing several other 9-3s of the same vintage in the 6k range, I have doubts mine will sell, yet it will still stay listed. I have nearly come to grips with owning this car well past the 10 year mark because if it doesn't sell at a price comfortable to me for sure GM will unload SAAB and disable the dealer network, truly making it worthless.
It makes me think of Alfa in this country in the 90s. The owners put up with poor quality and shotty dealer service and still loved them. Alfistas were mortified when the front drive 164 replaced the Milano's rear drive platform, kind of how I felt when GM took 100% control over SAAB and gave us a Vectra 9-3. Yet I still bought one because it drove well and looked the least like an Asian car of all of the european flavors offered in the USA at the time.
I hope GM sells SAAB. I hope the company leaves the USA and disables the dealer network. Then I can get the 9-3 I haven't driven since December 5 of 2008 out of my garage on weekends some time starting around 2021 and have people remember all the good things about the car instead of the poor build quality, expensive dealer visits and horrible resale value.
