Buying a Saab

I am thinking of buying a Saab - anything from 2002-09. Is it a risk with Saab in receivership? Should I buy from an approved Saab dealer or should I go private and buy a warranty?

With SAAB in receivership what used to be 'approved SAAB dealers' cannot be 'approved' any more. I don't know what the parts situation will be. Possibly a little difficult for some electronic parts.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
