Saab Prices Falling as Dealers Try to Shift Stock Ahead of General Motors Decision on Car's Future. Bargain Opportunity for Consumers.

LUTON, UNITED KINGDOM – January 4, 2010: General Motors are due to announce their plans for Saab on 7th January. It is touch and go whether the brand will be sold or closed. According to Used Car Expert Magazine prices on Saabs have been depressed for the last 18 months.

Editor, Matt Tumbridge thinks there is only a short time left for consumers to bag a bargain, “The Saab brand has long been under-supported by GM in the UK and dealers have been discounting stock to get rid of it - most notably Stratstone who have been advertising a half million pound Saab stock clearance.”

Seeing parallels with the demise of Rover, Tumbridge warns, “Prices won’t be soft forever, even if they close it down. Rovers, which are no where near as good, are now very firm in terms of used car residuals. Saab have a following, are close to BMW in terms of style, performance, comfort. It’s lunacy that prices have been so soft so long and as soon as Saab’s future is clear, prices will firm up. Now is the time to buy.”
