“The Saab brand has long been under-supported by GM in the UK and dealers have been discounting stock to get rid of it - most notably Stratstone who have been advertising a half million pound Saab stock clearance,” says editor Matt Tumbridge, who thinks right now it is the perfect time for consumers to take advantage of the context.
“Prices won’t be soft forever, even if they close it down. Rovers, which are no where near as good, are now very firm in terms of used car residuals. Saab have a following, are close to BMW in terms of style, performance, comfort.
It’s lunacy that prices have been so soft so long and as soon as Saab’s future is clear, prices will firm up. Now is the time to buy,” thinks Tumbrige, as he recalls what happened to Rover in the past years.
General Motors has been trying to sell Saab for quite some time and it has been speculated that they might even close the brand. Some of the companies which showed interest in the automaker included Koeniggseg and BYD. At this time, the most important bidder for the Swedish car manufacturer is Spyker. Due to all that has happened, prices on Saab cars have been depressed for the last 18 months.
