Maybe Saab can manufacture Re-build kits, my first 900 Turbo logged nearly 200,000 miles before my automatic transmission wore out and I had to get the steering rack replaced.  I was rear-ended, car was totaled but I walked away unharmed.  My present car is going to need a steering rack... maybe Saab can put together kits of different parts for rebuilding the car.  A lot cheaper than buying a new car and I believe that selling kit units will also be a boost to the economy.  Of course I would like to have better gas mileage.

You do the math: €1000/shares x 100.000 enthusiasts equals €100.000.000 in capital money. I know... some are not fans enough to take action, but there are those outside of the Saab community that could have their shares. I cannot work that miracle, but would be happy to buy.

Swade, I would like to thank you for everything you have done for the brand and wish you the very best in your future endeavors. I would love to someday read the full true honest story of what really went down. Best of luck! What a shame, a true shame it has come down to this.

Great car, super reliable and fun oh safety comes with fun too. Only SAAB can make that so. Here in aus I have the 94 Saab 900s v6 yank motor. Also good car it survives Australian sun so well I marvel at it. Those crap gm parts somehow work best in Saabs. 18 years of outdoors living poor girl ( my house is too small, my small car is large tho.); thing gets my pinball machine in, wide body Indy and judge dredd too, with closed hatch! These little sports cars do have the best practicality too! Keeping mine till I die this v6 will be classic in aus some time soon. Cannot find too many here in Melbourne. If it does not get classic status I don't care they both are my best cars sure to put a grin on my face every time. All electrics still work, air con i Yea I own 88 Saab 900 coupe in Europe my cousin loves and cares for it for me. Great car, super reliable and fun oh safety comes with fun too.
