A black 1980 Saab 99 Turbo built in Arlöv, exported to Britain and later restored in Sweden is heading to Bilweb Auctions with an estimate approaching $30,000. Its chassis number can also be traced to a Saab Club discussion from 2014.
Between 1964 and 1970, Uruguay assembled 478 Saab cars: 308 Saab 96s, 70 Saab 95s and 100 Saab 99s. Club Saab Uruguay’s new video, “History of Saab in Uruguay,” gives overdue structure to one of the least expected Saab stories in South America: local assembly, Automotora Boreal, regional motorsport, Monte Carlo Historique entries and a club that still keeps the cars visible today.
Autohaus Lafrentz in Kiel is offering one of the most unusual Saab 9000s currently on the market: a 1989 9000 CD Turbo six-door long version with seven seats, blue cloth interior, automatic transmission, and a claimed Saab Automobile AB VIP-service history.
The 28th SAABDAY in Japan, organized by the Saab Owner’s Club of Japan, brought together owners from across the country with cars ranging from the Saab 96 to the NG 9-5. Based on information sent to SaabPlanet by Japanese Saab enthusiast Sumi, this report shows a community built around Classic 900s, NG 9-3s, rare Turbo X, Viggen and Sonett models, Hirsch and BSR-tuned cars, mechanics with Tech2 and TIS tools, and a new generation of second-hand Saab owners.
A new Hungarian feature on Vezess.hu looks at 40 years of Saab Cabriolets through three local owners, and its strongest point is simple: Saab did not build convertibles as fragile summer toys.
A simple SaabPlanet Facebook question - “Post your Saab and your current mileage” - turned into a real-world endurance roll call. From LPG-converted 9-3s and diesel TTiDs to long-serving 9-5 wagons, the responses show why Saab ownership still lives outside the usual collector-car logic.
A final-year 1998 Saab 9000 CSE 2.3t has appeared at Bilweb Auctions with an unusually authentic backstory. Ordered new by a Saab chassis engineer who deliberately avoided luxury options, this understated example reveals how insiders actually specified their own cars. With just 143,000 km, single-family ownership, and the durable B234E turbo engine, it offers a rare look at what a “standard” Saab flagship meant to the people who engineered it.
Bob Lutz’s blunt Motor1 comments ignited a wave of reactions and over 120 SaabPlanet readers pushed back with their own theories, memories, and alleged insider detail. This follow-up digs into what can actually be verified from Saab’s final GM decade: chronic underinvestment, diverted resources, tech sharing that favored other GM brands, and the cancellations that left Saab without a viable product runway. We also place selected reader claims in context, clearly separating what’s documentable from what remains unproven - but hard to ignore.
A newly rediscovered Saab factory documentary traces the brand’s rally journey from two-strokes to turbo history. With subtitles now available, it reveals how Saab learned to win without power - and why that mindset still defines the brand today.
