Saab Sweden News: Waiting for the government

What can Saab fans do best? They are waiting, because in the last months we had to be patient. So today we are again waiting for the government to decide to sell Saab Immobilien.

Today, Wednesday is not a regular cabinet meeting in Stockholm, but the administration could call an extraordinary meeting. This has often been done in the past in terms of “Saab”. The next regular meeting would be on Thursday, we would wait for free today.

In Sweden, the discussions continue around Saab, also the question of whether the sale of the real estate is the big hit is in the room. Also we have our doubts about this business, because the last really valuable securities are sold.

Some press groups have doubts about the approval of the government, because yesterday the disastrous numbers of 2010 were published. Certainly not good timing. Now a resourceful journalist has calculated that Saab has lost 100.000 crowns with every car sold in the last year. Even for Saab, this is a tough number. At the beginning of the 90 years, Saab lost 5000 DM to each new car sold.

Is there an alternative ? Probably not, because the money has to be invested in the start of production. The production must finally be running, that is the top priority. Otherwise, we (Saab) will never get out of the downward spiral. Apparently the real estate sale for short-term financing without alternative.

Unless Muller had a “B” plan.
