5 years ago was a very exciting and important year for Saab. It was now it would be proved if Saab has come to stay or not. Now we know unfortunately how it went and the new Saab 9-5 Sportcombi was to be salvaged for scrap metal and one preserved for Saab Museum.
However, the creditors were standing in line to get their money back so everything that could be sold was to be auctioned off. That also included the test cars such as 9-5 Sportcombi. Some were in such poor condition they were not considered to be safe and could not be sold. The Swedish Transport Agency had already decided from the beginning that they were only test cars and would not be allowed to be registered legally and therefore not be driven on public roads. KVD had the great “honor” of holding in some of the auctions all sold prices are listed in the 9-5 Sportcombi directory, https://9-5sc2012.com/saab-9-5-sportcombi-2012-directory/.

Another year and it´s time for the 3rd 9-5 NG meeting at Autohaus Lafrentz in Kiel, Germany. All pilots with the last 9-5 new generation or sportcombi are welcome to attend if registered. There are only 40 places available so hurry up and register if you are interested. This is the best location in the world to spot the all new 9-5 sportcombi. So even if you don’t own a new generation Saab you might want to take a trip to Kiel for this weekend. 3-4th of June.
