I just remembered, there is a small Saab only dealership not too from me (Flikkema Saab). It's been there for years and I don't know how they stay in business with just one brand like that.

If general interest in Saab is declining that much, and other local dealerships have closed, they probably stay in buisness BECAUSE they are the only local dealer. They may be drawing in what buisness there is in sales, service, and repairs from many miles around....essentially a monopoly.
