The eagle has landed: The final boatload of 9-2x'es has arrived in USA

The final shipment of 9-2x'es from FHI in Japan arrived at the California port a couple of days ago; no more 9-2x'es will ever be produced. I'd expect that within a few weeks, the supply at the port will diminish as the final cars are allocated to dealers.

This means if you are thinking about buying a new 2006 9-2x, the time to call your dealer and have them start searching for a car is now. Once the remaining ones in your region are gone, they are gone for good.

The Saab 9-2x will not return for the 2007 model year, as expected.

Maybe Whateverland can hoard them all...just like he's hoarding all of the bumpers.  biggrin

Iota where did you get this info?

Pretty cool that they will never be made again. Let's all pitch in $10 a piece and buy one, then shrink wrap it and horde it away somewhere.

Re: The eagle has landed: The final boatload of 9-2x'es has arrived in USA

One thing i noticed is that the Saab online store/catalog is only selling a small handful of 9-2x accessories.  I'm hoping for a clearance sale to come up soon because I want those nice door sills but refuse to pay 175 for them wink

Also I noticed that Genuinesaab.com upped the price for the 17" BBS RKs to $190.95  from the previous price of around 140 each.

Haha, good one, if one had purchased this car before all the incentives, man, I wouldn't know what to do with myself, the car lost $12K or so in about a year.  banghead

Speaking of which, how do you install them when there's already trim there?

There where 8500 the first year, that much I'm sure of.  I think it was something like 6000 for '06.  Now of course you've got to take from that your Nereus factor...  I know my local bodyshop had already seen one totaled when I talked to them in January, so I'm sure there are plenty of those rolling around. (Err... should I say no longer rolling around?)

I think we should have one of those Silver Plaques like the Limited Edition cars that says 1 of 4000 or something.  smile
