I don't know about the US, but here in Europe there are quite lively user and enthusiast communities around the older models. Especially the old Saab 900, the one with the "beak" spoiler on the back, became iconic and still stands, as an image, for everything Saab had to offer. It is loved not for a small part by women, BTW. There is an informal market for spare parts, paint jobs, engine tuning etc. etc., especially in Britain. I recently saw a black 9000 Aero, in perfect state and with around 100,000 kms on the tachometer, being sold by a dealership for around € 8000. Saab is very much alive
I fell in love with 9000 a long time ago, as it has such rocket-on-wheels qualities which are amazing for a large, heavy sedan. When you hit the gas pedal on a highway ramp you are literally pushed back into the deep leather seats. It is not without a reason that the Swedish police had them as patrol cars for a long time. The thing is a beast of a car - a very, very reliable beast.
