It is a pity for Saab dealer. As we know, Saab officially bankrupt and there’s many parties interested in acquiring the Sweedish carmaker. Up until now, no offer has materialized and with each passing day, the chances of the Trolhattan-based company becoming history are increasing. Some of dealers has selling their shops and some of them are considering all options. It is pity when you become a dealers and the carmaker has been shut down.

As we know, Saab has trouble for this year. It get another problem due to lack of components from suppliers just after resuming production following a seven week shutdown.

“We anticipated that we would not see a smooth inflow of supplies as from the day we restarted production, May 27th, and communicated that in our press release of that day. We have a few thousand suppliers worldwide with each of whom we have to reach acceptable terms and conditions to resume production of parts and subsequent deliveries. Many suppliers are located outside Europe and re-stocking inevitably takes time.
“Thus far we have reached agreements with the vast majority of our suppliers and we are confident that we will reach agreement with all remaining suppliers in the coming days, thereby stabilizing our operations and our production in particular. However, it is not to be excluded that we will see production hiccups in the near future until the supply chain is fully back to normal. I reiterate our appreciation for our suppliers who are working with us constructively to come to terms and put our production back on track. At this moment, we have almost 10,000 orders on hand, including those for the Saab 9-4X which is currently being built in Mexico.”

It is bad for Saab. After deal with Chinese car distributor and this problem happen. But that’s maybe a beginning for this carmaker to up again. Let’s wait and see.
Saab, the Sweedish car maker keen to get the right using the outgoing BMW Mini platform.Using this rights, they could compete in premium compact car.
Saab need it to use for its own 9-1 eventhough their company have some big financial crisis. Maybe using the Mini platform could boost their production and sales.
