Beginning in 2002 Saab made over 1,100 improvements to the 9-5 range. The most significant of these are the slight restyle of the nose and tail lights, the 5 speed auto vs the old 4 speed, and the improved steering response of the front suspension.
I'm not taking away anything from the V6, people love 'em and they're as realiable or even more so, but I always prefered the fours character, better fuel economy and lighter weight for better handling anyway.
One note about the '02 Linear vs the 01 SE is that the SE's came standard with the premium package including the fabulous HK sound, memory seats and auto dim mirror. That was an option on the '02 Linears and if the '02 didn't have it, that might push me towards the '01 SE.
I would be more concerned with the service history than the miles and can imagine a higher mileage 9-5 being a real good value.
