Saab owner again

After a 4 year hiatus, I'm going to be a Saab owner again. I had given up on Saabs when the 9000's did not have turbos and I switched to automatic. My last one was just too slow. This time I went through hell debating between a slightly used Volvo and Saab. Finally felt that (a) Saabs were more fun to drive (even though the S80 T6 was fast, it felt soft, like a plush sofa sitting in it) and even though I am just getting the base 9-5 and (b) I couldn't resist at the price (I'm getting a '01 auto with 25,000 km for about $12k(Cdn) off list price as well as saving freight, pdi, etc.). I really wanted to feel that at the rate I pay it down, I would always have some equity in the car. You can't get that with a new Saab or Volvo (or much of any car, I guess). Also I saved about 10k(Cdn) over the Volvo. I know it it is not a fair comparison to put the T6 against the base Saab but the S80 2.9 drives and feels like a tank (sort of like my non-turbo 9000)but even the 4 cyl has that poser boost that makes driving fun, IMHO.
