Even though Saab, unlike some other former GM brands, is still in business, dealers in the United States are running low on cars and can’t order more from the factory. Saab has slowed production at its Swedish manufacturing facility in order to prepare for production of the new 9-5, which will be available sometime in 2010. In the meantime though, dealers are left with dwindling inventory and no concrete date when they’ll be able to get new cars from the factory, according to Blooomgerg.

“We have about 10 Saabs left, and they won’t last long,” Ivan Goodwin, sales manager at Jim Ellis Saab in Atlanta said. “It’s going to be a big problem, but there is nothing we can do about it.”

GM recently agreed to sell the Saab brand of cars to a group led by Swedish supercar maker Koenigsegg as part of its bankruptcy agreement. More than one third of U.S. Saab dealers were told recently that their contracts will not be renewed when the new owners take over.

Nobody knows when the Saab 9-5 will arrive in America to give the dealerships something to sell. Some dealers say they expect it to be in the U.S. for spring of 2010, while others say it could be as late as fall. Either way, it’s a ridiculous situation to be in. While every other car dealer is desperately trying to sell off its excess inventory, Saab dealerships are selling more cars than the company can build.

The Saab 9-5 will be replaced with an all-new model next year, and the current model is nearly sold out at dealerships.
