The US dealer network is basically dead. Still a few retailers around the EU, however, who were selling brand new Saabs (brand new as in built this year) up until fall 2014.

I suspect Mahindra is going to use the 9-3 to stick a toe into the Chinese, SE Asian, and Indian premium car markets.

It appears that one dealership still just can't let go: http://www.autoblog.com/2014/12/29/park ... ip-report/
The dealership stocks spare parts and is ready to perform whatever service and maintenance existing Saab owners might need, but it's also still buying and selling Saabs: used models with low mileage and manufactured as close as possible to the end of production in 2011. So when an owner of an old Saab is ready to trade up, the dealership has something to offer. And many of those loyal customers, according to Automotive News, are willing to pay top dollar rather than switch to another brand.
