The company filed for bankruptcy 12 years ago.
Urban explorers running the Forgotten Buildings YouTube channel posted a video showing an abandoned Saab showroom in France.
The authors of the video found a dealership that has been abandoned for almost a decade, while cars remain inside. Some of them were new, and the mileage of one of the cars is about 95 thousand km.
Unfortunately, the authors of the video were not the first to hit the dealership. Wheels on two cars were removed. In addition, windows were broken and other acts of vandalism were committed.
Greetings from the past: an abandoned showroom with Saab cars was discovered
The cars were not only in the showroom: in total, about 20 cars were found on the territory of the abandoned salon, mostly Saab, as well as several French cars, including Peugeot and vintage Renault.
It’s unclear exactly why all the cars ended up locked up, but Forgotten Buildings says Saab is partly responsible. The car company Saab went out of business in 2011, and its dealerships were left without new cars. Some salons tried to expand the range of cars of other brands, as in this case.
The closure of the salon was also associated with bankruptcy and with a serious illness of one of the co-owners. And the cars, according to one version, were not taken out, because as a result of bankruptcy they were seized.
