<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/saab/">Saab</a> lovers take notice. Swedish auction house KVD has some ultra rare Saab products on the block, and we're not talking about a 1950s <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/saab+92/">Saab 92</a>. Up for auction are a bunch of low-mileage Saab models being sold off as part of the bankrupted automaker's assets. Included in the lot of cars are models like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2011/03/01/2012-saab-9-5-sportcombi-geneva-2011/">2012 9-5 SportCombi</a> (above), the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/saab/9-4x/">2012 9-4X</a> (shown below) and even a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/rare-saabs-being-auctioned-off/#photo-5473645">9-5 sedan driven by</a> <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/victor+muller/">Victor Muller</a> himself.<br />

<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/rare-saabs-being-auctioned-off/#photo-5473648"><img class="right border" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2012/11/2012-saab-9-4x-auction.jpg" style="margin: 4px; width: 250px; height: 188px; float: right;" /></a>Discovered by <em>PistonHeads</em>, this Saab auction has numerous 9-5 SportCombi and 9-4X models, which should prove to be very rare cars. Only a small number of 9-4Xs were ever sold, and Saab closed up shop before the 9-5 SportCombi could even go on sale here. In addition to the rarity, many of the cars have fewer than 10 miles on their odometers and seemingly low reserve prices; a 9-4X 3.0 XWD Premium with just six miles has a current bid of 180,000 Swedish Krona (just over $27,000 USD) that has already met the reserve price. Some of the cars still have the protective factory shipping tape covering up the interior and exterior.<br />
<br />
Other than the rare SportCombis and 9-4Xs being auctioned off, there's also a sharp <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/saab/9-3/">2012 9-3 Cabriolet</a> with 11 miles on the clock and a V8-powered <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/saab/9-7x/">2006 Saab 9-7X</a> with just 3,003 miles.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2012/12/03/rare-9-5-sportcombi-9-4x-models-being-sold-off-in-saab-asset-au/">Rare 9-5 SportCombi, 9-4X models being sold off in Saab asset auction</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 03 Dec 2012 08:59:00 EST.
