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.

For over 15 years, Goran Aničić has been passionately focused on Saab automobiles and everything related to them. His initial encounter with Saab cars took place back in 2003 when the first Saab 9-3 and sedan version were introduced. At that moment, he was captivated by the car's Scandinavian design logic and top-notch engineering, and everything that followed stemmed from that first encounter. Later on, through his work at the editorial team of the Serbian automotive magazines "Autostart" and later "AutoBild," he had the opportunity to engage more closely with Saab vehicles. In 2008, he tested the latest Saab cars of that time, such as the Saab 9-3 TTiD Aero and Saab 9-3 Turbo X. In 2010, as the sole blogger from the region, he participated in the Saab 9-5ng presentation in Trollhättan, Sweden. Alongside journalists from around the world, he got a firsthand experience of the pinnacle of technological offerings from Saab at that time. Currently, Goran owns two Saabs: a 2008 Saab 9-3 Vector Sportcombi with a manual transmission, and a Saab 9-3 Aero Griffin Sport Sedan from the last generation, which rolled off the production line in Trollhättan in December 2011.
