Thinking About Buying a New Saab? Read This First

By now you may have heard about Saab's bankruptcy and suspension of warranties. But for recent Saab owners, there are still a number of unanswered questions. What will happen to parts? What warranties are no longer valid? Where does one go for service?

And if you had your heart set on buying a Saab 9-5 for half price, you may want to wait a bit. Though the value of Saabs will fall at some point, for now, dealers are taking a wait and see approach. In fact, now may be the worst time, manufacturer rebates that offered cash on the hood earlier this week have already been revoked. Waiting this one out seems like a good idea.

In the meantime, we’ve created a "Saab Survivor Guide," to bring you up to speed on recent events and help answer any lingering questions.

Hoping this means that people will be abandoning their Saabs so I can finally find a Saab Turbo X Sportcombi for sale. I've been wanting one since they came out and still have yet to see one in person, let alone with a price tag.

Jim Ellis Saab in Atlanta has a posting on their Saab page that they are honoring Saab warranty's if the vehicle was purchased from them. If not, I guess you're out of luck.
