Peter Gilbert, a Wisconsin resident and insurance salesman recently reached the one million milestone in his 1989 Edwardian Gray Saab 900 SPG still with the original engine and turbo. The N.Y. Saab Automobile USA General Manager Jay Spenchian was the very first to congratulate Gilbert and his 900 SPG at this year’s North American Saab Owners Convention in Lake George.This was accompanied by an announcement that Saab Automobile USA will be offering a new Saab to any U.S. customer who covers the distance of one million mile or more in a Saab that he or she originally purchased new. The new Saab will come with the 100,000 mile/5 years GM Powertrain limited warranty and 3 years/36,000 miles no-charge scheduled maintenance, standard with every model in the 2007 Saab Automobile USA portfolio.
“Saabs are made for people who love to drive, as proven by the many high-mileage examples in the Saab owners’ community”, Spenchian said. “Having personally been with Peter Gilbert in his 900 SPG as we crossed their magical finish line together, one cannot help but being impressed by the condition of car and driver after one million miles. Our offer of a new Saab to any U.S. customer, who equals this achievement, should be seen as a token of appreciation for the enduring loyalty and confidence in Saab.”
Mr. Peter Gilbert will receive a brand new, 260 hp Saab 9-5 Aero (MSRP $ 38,735) as a worthy replacement for his tried-and-true 900 SPG. Saab will also be offering a two day enhanced driving course of value $1,350 at no extra cost to every U.S. customer how buys a new Saab 9-3 Aero or 9-3 Aero. As for getting the new Saab absolutely free Peter’s response was “I am obviously thrilled with the idea of being presented with a new Saab 9-5 Aero”, Gilbert said. “It is not just fast and fuel efficient, but also extremely safe. A reassuring thought, keeping in mind that my faithful 900 SPG and I survived many a collision with Wisconsin deer. Who knows, I might take a run at another million miles in my new 9-5!"
This new offer is available to only U.S. customers who can present verifiable proof to Saab Automobile USA that he or she is the original owner of the Saab vehicle that covered one million road miles or more, that the vehicle is in running condition, that the odometer hasn’t been tampered with, and that the vehicle is currently and has always been registered in the United States.

This definitely sounds to be an excellent offer for those U.S customers who have taken care of their cars till they hit the 1 million milestone an getting a brand-new Saab absolutely free would be a fitting reward.
