Parts Situation: Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Wed, 2 May 2012 09:41:41 In Reply to: Parts - 07 9-5, Frnt Bumper, Headlamp?, TK, Wed, 2 May 2012 09:22:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Saab Parts AB was purchased by the Swedish Government some months ago. They ARE shipping parts around. In the USA, the Saab Parts operation is rolling in PA, at least, but with many changes from before. Parts shipments happen once a WEEK now, not every day, and VOR (overnight) shipments are basically not happening. I am not sure when the USA operation received its last parts from Linkoping, but they have been shipping what they had in stock.
This is from a club meeting at Reinertsen Motors, Denville, NJ back in February. The situation may be slightly changed, but they ARE getting parts around, and once all the details are ironed out, it shouldn't be all that different than before.
For your specific needs, try the several site sponsors who deal in used Saab parts, and try your local auto graveyards. Local may be a little more costly, but you can at least go and look at it before you buy. If you want new, check at your local dealer (assuming you still have one...) or independent Saab Specialist.
