The first new Saabs are sold already online!

Yesterday at 14:00CET (GMT+1) the sales started for the new Saab through Nevs website. It was a great start of the sale because they received a total of 15 orders of new Saabs throughout the day.

-”It is pleasing that we directly met an interest that also led to the ordered cars. And our first customer in Trollhättan actually visited me yesterday afternoon. We are humble but also hopeful for future sales. Many people have heard of and want to make an appointment for a test drive, which starts in January “– Jonas Hernqvist, Nevs Sales Manager

At the moment only 2 colours are available for the new Saab 9-3, black and grey. I hope more colours `ll follow in the future. For the time being a wrap is a good solution if you want an other colour. I for myself have made an appointment for a red wrap for my 9-3 convertible for next week.

What to do with our blog about Saab

We all know NEVS has bought the remains of what once was SAAB, the manufacturer of great cars from Trollhättan in Sweden. It seems NEVS needs a lot of time before "NEVSAABS" can leave Trollhättan. NEVS needs to solve a lot of problems too, I think the Griffin logo is not the biggest problem they have (Scania does not allow NEVS to use the logo). They need to start up the supply chain first, I understand not everyone is willing to deliver parts to NEVS after the experiences with Saab in the past (and currently with Saab parts vs. BMW).

I`m thinking about what to do with the blog and Facebook page of "Save Saab". For the moment I`ve decided to be patient, just wait what happens in Trollhättan. In the mean time I keep on Saabing and posting nice Saab pictures on our Facebook page. Feel free to post your Saab picture on the Facebook page, or send it to my e-mailadress info(@)jouwkeuken.nl. About my Saabs; I`ve decided to keep my 3 current Saabs (9-3 Aero Sedan, 9-3 Convertible TX edition and 95 old timer) and to add more Saabs to my collection. I can`t buy new Saabs yet, so I have to buy used ones. On my wishlist I`ve the 92 and/or a 93 (two strokes) and a 1st generation 9-3 (because in 2002 it was the first Saab I`ve bought). Below a picture of my 95 at home.
