Comments on: UK sales in August – Phew! http://www.trollhattansaab.net/archives/2005/09/uk_sales_in_aug.html Saab 9-1, 9-3, 9-4x, 9-5, 9-7x News Thu, 11 Dec 2008 06:34:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: phred http://www.trollhattansaab.net/archives/2005/09/uk_sales_in_aug.html#comment-844 phred Sat, 10 Sep 2005 16:13:05 +0000 http://s18881.gridserver.com/archives/347#comment-844 I wouldn't want to be a US Saab salesdroid on October 1 (or 3, whenever the program ends). Showrooms will be like a ghost town; everyone who wants/wanted a Saab will get one this month, and even the newly lowered prices will have a hard time arguing against the loss of the "employee pricing" scheme. I have a feeling some modified sort of plan will have to be put in effect by November. I wouldn’t want to be a US Saab salesdroid on October 1 (or 3, whenever the program ends).

Regions seem to publish their own results and as there's 50 or so countries, we'll probably have to wait to year-end to hear the news. Phred - Saabwho? Only kidding. I've received several comments from US dealers stating the same, the low sales month was very much due to low volumes. Next month will be the most interesting as the Emp pricing scheme will be gone. i.e. the rubber will really hit the road. Vector, don’t know about worldwide.

That's a direct result of employee pricing, of course. Hats off to Saab UK for doing the same without the gimmick.
