The last car to leave the old Saab factory
It’s almost too good to be true. But it is true! A brand-new Saab 9-3 Aero Estate with only 70 kilometers on the meter. Yes, you read that right, only 70 kilometers!
saabparts.comLatest Saab car factory auction news centers on Trollhättan, Sweden, where the last development cars and prototypes from the old Saab NEVS era are being auctioned.
- Key developments: A batch of final Saab and NEVS development vehicles, including autonomous and electric prototypes, are heading to public auction at the Trollhättan plant. This marks a closing chapter for Saab at its historic site.[1][3]
- Auction timeline and scope: The sale is being conducted by Klaravik, with bidding running May 21–30, and a live finale event planned at the Trollhättan facility. All cars are offered with no reserve price, highlighting Saab’s archival and historical value rather than commercial liquidation.[3][7][9]
- Notable items: Among the vehicles are rare prototypes and an NEVS 9-3 Electric model, plus several late-production Saab 9-3 variants with relatively low mileage, making them especially sought after by enthusiasts and collectors.[4][3]
- Public access: The final auction event invites Saab fans and the public to visit the factory site for a last look, with auctions concluding at the end of May and a closing ceremony around the final sale date.[7][3]
