If you have real questions I have real answers. But before you assume or judge, google Saab News and see whats happening. I have no shame. I worked my balls off to save that place…being a single point saab dealer was a bad deal…the new business without the franchise allows me to better cater to you anyway. I’ll work twice as hard here cause its 1000% more fun! ---

just an FYI… anyone who has driven by the old shop on central ave for well over a week now would of noticed the giant sign that is out front stating the auction. this is not a hidden secret, or something that the guys at ASS were trying to hide. ---

all this was known , d/c was up front with it and whatnot lol . saab is bankrupt not a.s.s pay attention before ya judge lol . do most understand how much overhead there was if they stayed there ? way to much to be worth it i.m.o d/c and a.s.s did the smart thing by moving and doing what they do . ---

+1. Saab let its dealers down. New Salem stuck with it longer than anyone could have expected. Kudos to Darryl for moving on and giving his employees a chance to keep making a living. This 9-3 sounds like death, BTW. ---

I am also going to throw in there that the New A.S.S location is 100x nicer than New Salem Saab was. it may be a little bit off the beaten path for some of us but the space and fit and finish of the new place is top notch. Even my Girlfriend was inmpressed ---
