SAABSUNITED

I am still waiting for parts for my right side mirror on my 2011 9-5 turbo premium. Been waiting for months. Forgot how long but it has been awhile.

The Coda Electrical Vehicle. Made in California. I guess that is what you call California Dreaming.

And without even being aware another electrical vehicle manufacturer just went bankrupt.

The Coda, another electric vehicle just filed for bankruptcy:

It also meant that only the man of the house was employed and he usually earned enough for the rest of the family to live on. And that was in the fifties and sixties. By the seventies most families were two […]

As long as they have Wall Street CEO’s they will probably have a really hard time making it based on product. But they are too big to fail so they will probably survive, just like the too big to fail banks.

The EV keeps killing itself. Another failure:

I’ve been absent from the site for a few weeks myself but not for health reasons. Hope you recover Angelo.

How much did you pay for it? When I bought my son in law’s three years ago I paid $7500. Spent about a $1500 more fixing it up.

Bought that exact car for my son in law and my daughter has the same car in dark blue. Both have been great cars. We bought the blue one new and then sold it to my daughter.

I’m not sure what governments are good for anymore except doing what the people don’t want or need. Corruption of government seems to be the norm everywhere.

Yes. And Europe is freezing its ass off this winter and March is the coldest March in Europe in half a century. Windmills aren’t working and neither is solar. Meanwhile they are shutting down fossil fuel and […]

Good to see you CJ. Always had some of the most insightful posts. Hope things are going well for you.

I’ve got a little over a year left on my lease. Buying the car at the end of the lease looks more and more foolish everyday. Been waiting months now for parts for passenger side mirror held together with clear tape.

Foreign manufactures get sued in the US all the time and are held to be liable even though they have no similar law in the manufacturing country. The problem is Saab’s bankruptcy and no means of recovery of a judgment.

Different everything. There is nothing on a LaCrosse that you could put on a 9-5 that I can find unless it is a mechanical part under the hood or perhaps a suspension part.

You lost your licensing rights in the bankruptcy.

I got a couple. Can’t tell you how many times I paid for logos only to have them disappear just like the company.

Like logo like company.

Jason:

Why should we get excited about this? We can’t even get parts. Did NEVS put billions of dollars into Saab? The only company that was large enough to really invest in Saab was Mahindra. And for those […]

That was my car, the one I was waiting for that never made it to the US and I had to settle for the sedan. Of course my wife likes sedans better and she is the one driving the 9-5 so I have the 9-3 wagon. But I […]
