The Last New Saab With Just Three Miles on the Clock Is Going Up for Auction
The Last New Saab With Just Three Miles on the Clock Is Going Up for Auction-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:42

The 2014 Saab 9-3.

, as most of us know, is quite the busy zombie. It died, was by the confusingly named Chinese company National Electric Vehicle Sweden, and later formed to supercar maker Koenigsegg. Now, the last new Saab, which is technically five years old, is for sale.

NEVS announced on Friday that the last new Saab, a 2014 Saab 9-3 Aero sedan with a turbocharged, 220-horsepower engine, automatic transmission and silver paint job, will go to auction this year. The car is from the 2014 model year but only has three miles on the odometer, the announcement said, which should lead everyone to wonder why exactly this was the case.

Did NEVS keep it around, not driving it, on purpose? . Did the company forget it was there until someone stumbled upon it, coated in a blanket of dust in a mop closet? More likely. It’s a perfect Saab story for Saab, after all.

Regardless, NEVS is listing the condition of the car as “unused,” which sounds about right, and didn’t say anything about the estimated price range for auction bids or the full specs for the car. The company did give a brief history on why a 2014 model even exists, which many in the Cult of Saab are familiar with:

Officially, all production was halted at Saab’s plant in 2011. But for a short period of time starting in December 2013, NEVS relaunched production of the Saab 9-3 Aero Sedan with a petrol engine. By then, the car production process had been standing still for two and a half years, so it was a complex exploit to start producing cars again.

The final batch of Saab’s were manufactured in the original factory with original parts sourced from around 400 suppliers. During 2013-2014 only 420 cars were made – the last ever to roll off the assembly line in Trollhättan.

NEVS said the car will be on display during the Saab Car Museum festival in the Swedish city and , Trollhattan, this weekend, and that the auction will happen “later this year.”

It also said the auction is a chance to own “this brand new Saab—the very last of its breed,” which, sure, zombies can be breeds too.

At $12,900, Is This 2002 Honda S2000 A Rev-Happy Revelation?
In the ad for today’s S2000, the seller makes the bold claim that “these cars are only going up in value.” If that’s the case, could this one’s price make it a bargain basement deal? You folks were brutal last week, dropping the No Dice hammer on four of...

At $9,999, Could This Wrapped 2003 Ford Thunderbird Wrap Up A Buyer?
The seller of today’s Thunderbird claims it to be a “huge head turner.” That’s likely owed to its snazzy whitewall tires and what appears to be a matte vinyl wrap. Let’s see if its price can turn a few heads as well. For those of you taken aback by...

I Bought This 275,000-Mile Fancy Toyota Land Cruiser (Lexus LX470) Sight Unseen For A 5,000-Mile Road Trip
I foolishly bought a Willys Jeep in Washington, 2,200 miles away from my Michigan home. To retrieve the dilapidated machine, I’ll need a tow vehicle, and since none of my Jeeps have the towing capacity (or reliability) to handle such an endeavor, I bought a fancy . A really...

At $20,999, Is This 2014 Porsche Cayenne Diesel A Scandalous Deal?
Today’s Cayenne is powered by a Volkswagen diesel engine, something that, for obvious reasons, the company no longer sells. Let’s find out if this last of its breed is still worth considering. The most maddening thing about the we looked at yesterday is that GM doesn’t make them anymore....
