Saab’s future remains unclear

Used Saabs in New York could continue attracting attention now that yet another company has expressed an interest in the Swedish manufacturer.

When Koenigsegg decided to back out of its deal with GM to acquire Saab, it seemed the fate of the Swedish company was sealed. However, a Dutch automaker recently gave Saab enthusiasts hope by expressing interest in the brand, according to Automobile Magazine.

Spyker, a company based in Zeewolde, has already begun talking to Deutsche Bank about a potential transaction with Saab, reports the publication.

“We are a very related group of people who understand each other,” Victor Muller, CEO of Spyker, told Automotive News. “It is not too far-fetched for Saab to be a good premium brand again.”

Currently, Spyker builds less than 100 cars each year, says Automobile Magazine. Last year, Saab built more than 100,000 vehicles. Because of the Dutch company’s small size, acquiring Saab could involve taking control of more manpower and resources than it has ever had. With news of the company’s future changing so frequently, it’s possible used Saabs in New York could generate extra interest.
