Anyway, this is One of the prettiest cars of all time. Of course, A car isn’t a luxury, it is a liability – but in Norway the “luxury tax” on cars there is around 100% at these pricebrackets (See this:
Tesla Owners In Norway Get $134,000 Tax Break, Which Is More Than The Base Price Of The Model S). Therefore, it is not surprising that this car is on sale.

There were more than 30 made and about 27 survived and were sold. 22 of which were sold at auction between December 2012 and June 2013.  This is a car you usually don’t see offered for sale and maybe will never see again.

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.
