Need advice a possible 2007 9-5 Aero purchase Posted by Saabpilot [Email] (#134) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Saabpilot) on Thu, 17 Nov 2011 20:02:27 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
13 time Saab owner. Have owned 3 9-5's including an '03 sedan, '03 wagon (still own it) and another '07 9-5. All Aero models. Sold the last '07 because of a divorce.
Have found a really nice 2007 9-5 Aero sedan at a local non-Saab dealer. They took it in trade. 58k miles. Price is very good at $13,500. Has been on their lot nearly 3 months and they want to move it.
Only thing on the car that really concerned me is a trim strip at the bottom of the driver's window. It's rubber and peeling and there is rust underneath. It appears it is just the trim strip rusting and not the door itself. I've not heard of this issue before and didn't find anything in a search here on the forum.
Anyone seen this before? Is it an easy replacement at the dealer, or in my own garage?
Other not as important issues: driver's mirror mount bubbling like many of them do. Driver's interior door silver trim is boogered up and speaker grille is cracked. I'm assuming that stuff can be a junkyard find or purchased new if need be.
Any advice on the door trim would be appreciated.
