The recent closing of New Salem SAAB has had this effect:
We've purchased three new SAABs in the past 10 years, two from NSS and one from a different dealer when we lived somewhere else. Shoot, I was subscriber to NINES as early as the late 1980's when I was driving 99s.
How do you think my wife now feels about getting warranty work done now on her 1.5yo 9-3X now that the closest dealer is one and a half hours away?
How do you think I feel about replacing my 2002 9-5 now that the closest dealer is one and a half hours away?
How do you think we feel that we've seen exactly zero marketing of the SAAB brand?
This is part of the impact of the loss of NSS (whose current owner's heart never really seemed to be in it anyway). No one in the Capital District in their right mind would buy a SAAB now. NSS existed for almost exactly 50 years and you can imagine the foothold SAAB has in this area. That will quickly evaporate now, just when SAAB needs it the most.
Sorry about the bitter tone, but it's a damn shame. This company seems destined for failure.
