I have one... Posted by CrNiFe [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Should I Buy A SAAB 1999 9-5 Wagon?, Dan ![]() |
and this board has kept me up on what to look for. My personal opinion is that it is a fine car, with a few small glitches. If you know of the DIC issue, and prepare yourself with a spare part, there really isn't anything else major. I would check to see how the oil changes were done, because of the sludge development problem, which seems to be both a design weakness and an owner service issue.
If Ian Glenday answers the post, he may be able to point out some other things that I have not. Remember that a SAAB was born of jets, and just like airplanes, each one has its quirks. If you have found a good one, then it will stay good with the right amount of care.
I am happy enough with my MY99 to go out and lease a MY05 Arc Sportwagon, so now I get to compare them directly in my own driveway.
Never boring cars, they need some attention, like anything else that is worthwhile.
