date, posted inside of the door. I heard (un-confirmed) from our service writer that Saab made a few mid year adjustments, so perhaps a June or greater date of manufacturing would be preferred - all else being equal of any used 99's you are looking at...
The recalls & service buletins have been minor, ECU being the only major one. We did have our battery replaced last month, waranty covered this.
This is our first Saab, so can't compare to the 9000's. I consider the 9-5 a car designed to the mid 90's state of the art, while 97 & 98 9000's are very refined mid 80 design. If you can afford the price, I'd go for the 9-5 with waranty. I would take a close look at a clean 9000 Aero, but the good ones are few and far between - and go real fast... (I've been semi looking for a car for me (the wife gets the 9-5 as her car), and keep looking for a clean Aero, or convert...).
Best of luck on your car search!!
Regards,
9-5 Smitty
