Abandoned dealership reveals intact stock of forgotten Saabs after the brand’s bankruptcy (YouTube @ForgottenBuildings)
An abandoned Saab dealership was recently explored by a group of urban adventurers, revealing a strange scene.
Inside the showroom, the curious group shared the discovery of three intact Saab 9-3 models through a video on the “Forgotten Buildings” YouTube channel. Although they were missing wheels and some valuable parts, they still had the original prices of around $11,700 stuck to the windshields.
The dealership, which operated as a family business since 1972, closed after the global financial crisis, worsened by the health issues of the owners, culminating in Saab’s bankruptcy in 2011. Interestingly, the sale of the dealership never occurred, leaving the place and the vehicles forgotten.

Exploring further, the group discovered the basement, where there were more cars, including a small van. According to reports from specialized blogs, the dealership’s story is shrouded in mystery, with indications that the business should have been liquidated in 2010. However, something prevented the sale of the cars from being finalized, causing Saab models, once common on UK streets, to now face the risk of disappearing, with a 71% drop in ownership over the last decade.
This case comes amid other stories of abandoned cars, such as the recent discovery of a 2008 BMW E34 M5 in a mansion. Additionally, Volkswagen announced it would close some of its factories in Germany and reduce wages amid cost-cutting and operational restructuring, affecting thousands of jobs.
