I have been told that not many 2010-2011 Saab 9-5s were manufactured and that it would be rare to see another one on the road often. Well I have seen three on the road this past week (One Aero model and two non-Aero models, all different colors).
This leads me to the following two questions of the day:
1) what is the total number of 2010 9-5's manufactured and how many were exported to USA?
3) what is the total number of 2011 9-5's manufactured and how many were exported to USA?
Since closure of Saab these numbers were never released and may only be known by a few former Saab employees. If detail or estimates exists, it would be cool to find out how many Aero models are included in each year totals.
The International Saab Group NG 9-5 Facebook page has the info in the files section for the 2011s. Breaks down by turbo4, turbo4 premium, turbo4 manual, turbo6, and aero.
I put in a group join request to the following link if this is the correct group.
There is not any information/ docs available to public, but it may be there when the join request is accepted.
If the numbers are below 1,000 it was indeed very strange to see three different 9-5s in a week. Especially since I only commute 16 miles a day. I have yet to see another Java black one.
I can see it being a collector's item. A collector's item with significant value? Probably not. Rarity and value do not always go hand in hand. Rarity + desirability, now that's another story.
Wow, I didn't realize how old your comment was:cheesy:;ol;
Funny someone has seen three in one week, I have owned a 2010 Aero since Dec of 2010 in Atlanta and have yet to see another on the road in over 2 years!
From what I have found there are just about 8500 or so ever made. heard somewhere that maybe around half of those made it to the us not sure on that but pretty sure the 8500 is around where its at
I read somewhere that a total of 13,000 '10 and '11 models were made, not sure how many made it to the US.
