Once one of the most charismatic brands in the automotive industry, today Saab is nothing more than a memory. However, many of the cars that helped write its story are still on the road and are likely to begin to face a problem that plagues many older models: parts shortages.
It goes without saying that the extinction of Saab means that the owners of its models do not have the solutions offered for older models proposed by brands such as Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Toyota or even Lancia.
For this reason, it is necessary to be creative and one of the solutions can be the auction we are talking about today, which is an authentic “Mecca” for those who want to keep some of the Saab models on the road.
Parts to use, give and even sell
Taking place on eBay, this auction has a bidding base of 160 thousand dollars (nearly 132,000 euros). What does this value buy us? About 1000 original Saab parts , especially of the brand's models created between 1995 and 2004.
Described as a "mix of parts", from the images we can see that the lot has headlights, bumpers, cooling system reservoirs, among other parts that will certainly help keep some Saab models on the road for a few more years . According to the advertiser (and according to the images) many of the pieces are still in their original boxes.
Stored in Jordan, this batch of Saab parts is, for fans of the Swedish brand, the modern version of the famous treasure of the story of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves.
