Heater Box almost 13x Old Price?? Posted by JustinHiFi [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Today looked at a '01 9-5 Aero Wagon for ACC issues among others. Found B2405 B2406 B2496. Indicating air distribution drum is frozen up and the LH heater flap is loose. Inspected and found heater box to be broken internally so the flap control arm sleeve and replacement arm will not work to fix vehicle.
Old PN for the heater/air box is 5334057 listed at $234. Recently? superseded to 5336797 for get this, $2,965! Called parts department to confirm the change in price. He could not believe it either so called Saab USA. Return call confirmed that the box did increase in price almost 13 fold.
Good to know that this one item installed (R&R complete dash) will approach over half the actual value of the vehicle. Crazy really...
