Kvdbil got the job to sell the last Saab cars

The media and Saab fans cheered and the bids poured in. Yes, there was certainly a huge uproar when NEVS entrusted us with the responsibility of representing some of the last Saab cars ever produced. We spoke with Anders Jagefeldt at NEVS – about the sale, why they chose Kvdbil and about possible further sales.

The last 420 Saab cars were manufactured in Trollhättan in 2014. All of the cars built were of the 9-3 Aero model and were made from leftover parts that were left over from the factory.

Most of the "last cars" were sold, but some were kept in NEVS's possession. Last year we passed on some of them – and a few weeks ago we were honored again. Just like the rest of the 420 cars built, these also came with the same specifications.

But what made these two stand out a little bit more was their incredibly low mileage. One with under 1000 miles, and one just over that.

International interest and maximum activity

The fact that there was now an opportunity to get their hands on two more of the last Saabs was quickly picked up by industry media, including Realtid , who were really quick on the ball. Many curious clicks were also generated through Kvdbil 's newsletter and social media when they were published - and the bids rolled in. In total, the two cars received 34 bids, and the bidding ended at 236,000 and 277,500 kronor respectively.

The car ads were visited over 22,000 times and visitors came from all corners of the world. The top three are Sweden, the USA and Finland. But also Norway, Germany, the Czech Republic and even visits from Antigua and Barbuda.

We had a chat with Anders at NEVS.

Congratulations on your successful sales! There was a lot of excitement surrounding these unique Saabs. Both internally at Kvdbil and in the media, as well as a lot of pressure on the bidding on kvd.se – where the final prices ended up exceeding expectations. Was it something you could have imagined?

– I actually suspected that it would go so well, as there is a great interest and craving for these particular cars. We sold a number of the last 420 cars through you just over a year ago and the interest was very strong even then. These cars had even fewer miles, which of course increases the interest a lot.

How did you perceive the sales process through us?
– Incredibly smooth. The fact that you both pick up the cars and fix them before selling them was so grateful to us.

Great to hear! And why did the choice fall on us at Kvdbil when it came to selling these special cars?
– It was a year ago, before we first sold through you, that I looked around a bit. In the end, the choice was between you and another competitor. You ended up getting the assignment because I thought we could get a higher final price through you.

The question everyone wants an answer to; are there any more Saab 9-3 Aeros left with you?
– No, we don't have any left to sell now. The two we sold last time were the last ones.

Even if we don't get to see more of the cars from 2014, can we expect to be trusted again if you want to sell other company cars?
– All the times that I will contact you again.
