I am a current NG900 owner and have had good fun maintaining it. I enjoy what Saab has to offer esp. if you give it a little love. I need a bit bigger car, and was about to get a 96 - 98 9000. I know a bit about them, and do love them. But then, for the money, I thought I would look at an earlier 9-5 wagon. I have seen some good choices under $10K, under 100K miles. I would need a manual transmission. Beyond that, however, I haven't looked into 9-5s that much, and am not familiar with the year / package differences. I am not so much interested in the "features" changes (such as "leather seat upgrade in 2002"), but would like to know about the engine / transmission / performance changes between 99's and 00 models and up. The 99 was basically a 9000, right? What changed after that? Any websites detailing the changes across model years would be great.
