I am going to purchase a 2002 Saab 9-5 aero sedan this weekend, first time saab owner. I cannot let go the feeling ever since I drove it in 98. 2001 Saab 9-5 has been highly praised for its reliability by JD Power for 3 yrs ownership (at least better than all other european brands). I pick 2002 model year because it is safer than previous model years. Is 2002 more or less reliable than 2001 Saab 9-5?
How do I take care this car, such as interval for oil/cooland changes, type of engine oil? Do I really need a spare DI in my trunck? Is warm-up necessary for 9-5? Is there any thing that I should check frequently? Does the car tend to leak engine oil later down the road? What should I expect other than happy driving experiences while it does work? Any recommandations would be welcome.
many thanks,
s.t.
