Saab’s Final Parts Treasure Trove: KM Bildemontering’s Last Hurrah
As any Saab enthusiast knows, the quest for parts to keep your beloved car running has never been easy. For decades, KM Bildemontering in Värnamo, Sweden, has been the ultimate destination for those dedicated to preserving the legendary brand. However, all good things must come to an end.
In October, KM Bildemontering will shut down for good, offering one last golden opportunity for Saab owners: 80,000 parts up for grabs. This unprecedented sale is detailed in a report by Carup Magazine here, giving Saab enthusiasts their final chance to secure critical components and ensure their vehicles live on.
The End of an Era for Saab Parts
This October marks the final chapter for KM Bildemontering, a company that has been at the heart of Saab’s aftermarket for years. With 80,000 parts in stock, from engines to rare body panels, they’re now offering a last chance for Saab owners to get their hands on critical components. If you’ve been searching for parts to keep your 900, 9-5, or even 9000 running, this sale is for you.
The warehouse, as large as AD Bildelars’ central inventory, is nothing short of a treasure chest for Saab aficionados. According to Kenneth Lindblom, owner of KM Bildemontering, “Prices will be slashed. Anything not sold will be tossed.” It’s a harsh reality for those who’ve relied on KM for years, but the upcoming sale is a dream come true for anyone needing parts to extend their Saab’s lifespan.
The Saab Community Gathers for the Farewell
The closing of KM Bildemontering is more than just a sale—it’s a farewell event for the Saab community. Saab owners from all corners of Sweden are expected to flock to Värnamo, and Lindblom expects the final weekend in October to be “a true fall festival.” During the last sale, the lines stretched long before the doors even opened. “We tried offering hotdogs, but everyone was too busy carrying parts,” Lindblom recalls.
This time, the stakes are even higher. With the warehouse set to close permanently, anything left will be discarded. This is truly the last chance for Saab owners to get their hands on original parts. From new engines for the Saab 9000 to smaller, rarer components, everything must go.
Saab: A Brand That Won’t Die
Despite the factory closing its doors eight years ago, Saab remains a fixture on Sweden’s roads. Lindblom estimates that the number of Saabs on the road has hardly decreased in the last five years. Passionate owners are committed to keeping their Saabs running, even as parts become increasingly scarce.
KM Bildemontering has been a lifeline for these owners, who have turned to the dismantler for everything from replacement transmissions to fuel pumps. Now, with this final sale, the question is: where will Saab owners go next? The demand for parts will only rise as the cars continue to age, and many owners are already anxious about the future.
What’s on Offer: A Saab Enthusiast’s Dream
The parts offered at this sale span multiple decades of Saab production. Whether you’re looking for something specific or just want to stock up on essentials, this event will be a haven for those dedicated to their Saabs. Items range from engines and transmissions to body panels, suspension parts, and electrical components. KM Bildemontering’s inventory is massive, but once the sale ends, these parts will be gone forever.
Kenneth Lindblom has a message for Saab owners: “This is your last chance.” After more than two decades of amassing parts, the time has come to clear the shelves. Saab enthusiasts will need to be quick if they want to take advantage of the final sale. Lindblom warns that the sale will be crowded, advising customers to arrive early for the best selection.
A Storied Legacy Comes to an End
KM Bildemontering’s closing is symbolic of the larger challenges facing Saab owners around the world. With limited production and dwindling parts supplies, many fear that keeping these iconic cars on the road will only become harder. For years, KM Bildemontering provided the parts and expertise necessary to keep Saabs running. The dismantler’s closure signals a significant loss for the Saab community.
But for those attending the final sale, it’s a chance to celebrate Saab’s enduring legacy. It’s a moment for Saab enthusiasts to gather, reflect, and, most importantly, keep their cars on the road for as long as possible. Lindblom’s team will be on hand to help customers find what they need, offering deep discounts and expert advice.
Tips for Attending the Final Sale
For those planning to attend the last weekend of KM Bildemontering’s Saab parts sale, here are a few tips:
- Arrive Early: Expect long lines and heavy crowds. If you’re after a specific part, it’s best to be at the front of the line.
- Bring Help: With so many parts up for grabs, having an extra set of hands will make it easier to carry your finds.
- Be Prepared for a Tight Fit: The warehouse will be packed, so maneuvering through the aisles may be a challenge. Patience is key.
- Bring Tools: Some parts may require removal from cars still awaiting dismantling, so come prepared.
- Have a List: Know what you’re looking for, but don’t be afraid to grab a few extras—once these parts are gone, they’re gone.
A Saab Lover’s Last Stand

Svenska Saabklubben producerar delar till Saab 9000. De har inte framskärmar just nu, men ibland producerar de. 26 oktober hade de ett event i Trollhättan där de sålde stötfångare till 9000. Du kan gå in på deras hemsida, hitta reservdelen du vill ha och trycka “bevaka” efter du skrivit in e-mail.
Du kan också hitta framskärmar ibland på Bildelsbasen.se – en hemsida för bilskrotar i Sverige.
