Hey, I'm crazy about my 2000 Viggen too. Most enjoyable car I've owned by far and so far very reliable. Don't expect owners to hang onto them as though they're a Picasso, or a copper 1943 penny, though. Basically the Viggen is just a great car. Yup it's relatively rare, but it takes decades for even a niche car to become an upreciating & truly collectible commodity. And while it's a terrific car, it's a Saab and historically Saabs don't attract a large group of salivating bidders at collector car auctions. So, being that it's basically a car, I suspect they're being sold to upsize to a 9-5 for more room. Or in favor of a smoother, quieter ride after the thrill has worn off. Or any of the other reasons people trade/sell cars. And remember, you may see "a lot of them" advertised her on TSN, but that's because this is the perfect niche venue. When's the last time you saw one for sale in your daily paper? Own it, drive it, and enjoy it. That's my plan.
