(SDSOG) "Find Your Own Road... but bring some friends!" |
Obviously, this is just the start of what I hope will be a growing list of sources for SAAB parts. SDSOG cannot specifically recommend or endorse any of these establishments, but if you need a road-tested part at a good price, you're likely to find what you need at one of them.
If you're looking for alternative parts for your vintage SAAB, there is also a parts exchange table below which offers some alternatives for early SAAB parts.
Good luck, and if you patronize any of these folks, tell them the San Diego SAAB Owner's Group sent you!

Here's a chance for you to locate an alternative source for those hard-to-find and/or insanely expensive dealer parts. We're always looking to add items here, so please email me if you know of anything that would help your fellow SAAB owners!
Many of the parts shown for the V4 cars may fit
European model years much later than 1973/1974. If you find this to be so, please let me know and I'll update the tables. Please
note that this information is provided for convenience only. Use your own judgement
and be sure to double-check for your own application. Enjoy!
