General Motors has more time to get offer for Saab

NEW YORK — Spyker Cars, a niche automaker based in the Netherlands, is giving General Motors more time to consider selling it the Saab brand, keeping the fate of the Swedish automaker up in the air.

Spyker had previously given GM until 5 p.m. Monday to consider its latest offer, but Spyker said it has extended that deadline until further notice. Spyker submitted its latest offer on Sunday, just days after talks with GM to buy Saab collapsed over unspecified issues.

Spyker is the latest suitor looking to buy Saab. Earlier this year, GM had been in negotiations with a consortium of buyers led by Koenigsegg Automotive AB, but the Swedish sports car maker dropped out of the deal in November.

Spyker manufactures a small number of exotic sports cars that fetch $200,000 or more. Last year, the company produced just 43 vehicles and lost $35.5 million.
