I own 2 1999 9-5 Saabs - a sedan that I've owned for 3 years and that has 150k miles, and a wagon I just bought that has 125k miles. Both are very comfortable, very nice cars to drive, and both run beautifully. I expect them to go at least to 250k miles.. The sedan has not, I feel, been more expensive than other cars I've owned. The SIDs often lose pixels, but there is a simple repair procedure on saabnet.com that prevents the need for replacement. But then, your car has probably had this issue addressed. I'd suggest using synthetic oil to protect the engine and turbo. Most of my repairs have been standard issues, including rear shocks, brakes, muffler Be sure that the car you buy has had the recommended services performed in accord with the owner's manual. These can be pricey but are well worth the insurance. Buying parts online can also save a little if your mechanic doesn't object.
