HOW MANY SAAB 9 3 S ARE LEFT?

There are 73 SAAB 9 3 S left on the road in the UK (i.e. with valid road tax). There are a further 159 SAAB 9 3 S that are currently SORNED.

The total number of SAAB 9 3 S was highest during 2000 Q4 (3,072). The number taxed topped out in 2000 Q4 and the total SORNed was at its maximum during 2017 Q4.

Since the total peaked, some 2,840 (92%) SAAB 9 3 S have been scrapped or exported.

During 2020 Q4 the number of SAAB 9 3 S that were off the road (SORN) exceeded the number that were licensed for the first time. This could indicate the owners are reluctant to sell or scrap their car as they view them as a potential future classic.

In the last 10 years the total number of SAAB 9 3 S has fallen by 706. Licensed models have fallen by 702 and the SORNed total has fallen by 4.

The 5 year trend shows a total decline of 179 SAAB 9 3 S models. Taxed models have declined by 141 and the SORNed total has fallen by 38.

69% of the remaining 232 SAAB 9 3 S in the UK are currently off the road.
