Op abandoned dealership reveals intact stock of forgotten Saabs after the brand’s bankruptcy (YouTube @ForgottenBuildings)
A Saab abandoned 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” channel on YouTube. Although they were without wheels and some valuable parts, they still had the original prices of about $11,700 stuck to the windshields.
The store, which operated as a family business since 1972, closed after the global financial crisis, exacerbated by health issues of the owners, which culminated in Saab’s bankruptcy in 2011. Interestingly, the sale of the dealership never took place, leaving the location 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 history of the dealership is shrouded in mystery, with indications that the business was supposed to be liquidated in 2010. However, something prevented the sale of the cars from being finalized, causing the Saab models, once common on the streets of the UK, to now be at risk of disappearing, with a 71% drop in ownership in the last decade.
This case occurs amid other stories of abandoned cars, such as the recent discovery of a 2008 BMW E34 M5 in a mansion. Additionally, Volkswagen announced it will close some of its factories in Germany and cut wages amid cost-cutting and operational restructuring, affecting thousands of jobs.
