Bought my first (driveable) Saab last night - found here on TSN (link below) - 2003 9-5 Linear 2.3T with EXTREMELY low miles (25K) and in really nice shape. Seems overall in good mechanical condition, and has had some recent work (see ad) although the A/C doesn't seem to be working which I will need to troubleshoot further (tried re-calibrating and showed '0' fault code); hoping it just needs a charge.
It's due for an oil change (synthetic oil to prevent sludge issue) and I'm planning on changing all of the fluids (trans, brake, coolant, p/s) as time/budget permits, as well as replacing the plugs, air filter, cabin air filter, and fuel filter. At least for now.
Wanted to see if anyone had any benefit of experience that could provide me with additional suggestions on what other kind of PM to perform?
Thanks in advance!
