Ah, Saab. We miss you. The 21st century hasn’t been kind to the brand, after it was killed/sold off by GM to Spyker only to be sold to a Swedish EV startup that never did anything with it. Back when Saab was still in GM’s hands, it managed to make one of its rarest vehicles, a crossover called 9-4X. And someone in Oregon has been trying to sell one for the last two years.

We’ve gone over the history of the 9-4X before. Just to briefly retouch on it: it was a crossover put into production at the last minute as a replacement for the GMT360 platform 9-7X SUV. It rode on a premium version of GM’s Theta platform shared with the second generation Cadillac SRX. Power came from either a GM-sourced 3.0-liter V6 with 265 horsepower or an Opel sourced 2.8-liter turbocharged V6 with 300 hp.

So why would such a rare vehicle be sitting for over two years with no takers? Its rarity could be a problem; it’s a crossover with fewer than 1,000 examples from a defunct automaker that hasn’t sold a car in the U.S. in ages, which means there probably aren’t many people looking to buy one. It also means that getting routine service or sourcing parts after a minor fender bender could be tough.

But if that’s something you could live with, head on up to Oregon and Gary Small Saab. Take your time, too. I’m sure it’ll still be for sale for the foreseeable future.
