A sad thing have to consider Posted by Chadwick [Email] (#569) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Chadwick) on Fri, 9 Sep 2011 16:23:00 In Reply to: Thoughts on purchasing an '11 9-5 ....post recent news., Paul H, Fri, 9 Sep 2011 09:34:12 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Parts will still be available via aftermarket. Things that are Genuine SAAB only items will become publically available from the suppliers that make them once the contracts are voided when SAAB calls it quits. SAAB itself doesn't make any parts, they just assemble everything. Most of the newer cars have parts made by Bosch and Delphi. SAAB Parts INC is still profitable and does not have outstanding liabilities of its own, so I think if the doors shut on the powertrain division it may stay open.
And a good indy is key. I opened my new shop yesterday, the day this all happened. I certainly don't plan to go anywhere for awhile, and hope for the best for SAAB, but they need to make sure there is a line to get parts if the doors close.
