comments. as an owner of several 9000 and now a 9-5.
i went for the 9-5 V6 on the used market. with my research and input from my Saab mechianic buddy the V6 is a safer bet and proving to be a bit less in maintenance needs other then the timing belt. you'll be able to find out via the VIN from your local Saab about service history.
the 9-5 wagon has more body roll then the 9000 and is a more mature ride. it will most likly out accelerate the BMW 2.5L for sure and get better gas mileage to. Saab FWD, TCS and other toys is a way better winter drive if you live in the rust/snow belt too.
I like my BMW for dry pavement fun but not for daily drivers like my saabs. if you are a DIY like me the maitenance should be easy....
