Abandoned car dealership where dozens of Saabs lie & the tragic reason why they’ve never been sold

A SAAB dealership that was left abandoned after the car brand went bankrupt has been searched by a group of urban explorers.

The eerie showroom recently featured on the YouTube channel Forgotten Buildings.

In the video, the curious YouTubers can be seen entering the building through a gap in the wall, and coming into a long-abandoned room covered in dirt and muck, with paper, trash and boxes scattered across the floor.

Curiously, plants are still growing in the corner of the room, presumably due to water getting into the building through the ceiling, while a creepy children’s slide is propped up in the corner.

But most amazingly, the centre of the large room is taken up by three unsold Saab models.

The Saabs, which appear to be 9-3s - the final cars the Swedish marque built before they entered financial difficulties - are missing their wheels, lights, and other valuable parts.

But their original price tags remain, showing that the cars were once on sale for around £9,000 before the dealership closed.

Further on, the group discover the entrance to the shop's basement, where they're met by dozens more motors and even a small van.

According to , the dealership's history is clouded in mystery, although they claim the story has been roughly pieced together using dedicated Saab blogs.

Said to have opened in 1972 as a family business, things quickly went south when, as Saab began to experience financial difficulties, the dealer’s owners’ health began to fail as well.

It seems this led to the dealer owner's brother being left to run things - which quikcly resulted in the business floundering before the global recession ultimately caused it to go bust.

Saab Planet believe the business was supposed to be liquidated in 2010, while Saab bit the bullet in 2011.
