A little over a year ago I bought a very well maintained 2008 9-5 SportCombi with 72,000 miles to replace my 2000 9-3 with 218,000 miles. I had not planned to replace the 9-3 at the time, in fact, I had recently put in about $2000 in repairs (new clutch, water pump, fuel pump, new radiator, etc.) with the intention of keeping it, but the deal on the 9-5 was too good to pass up.
Like you, I wondered what I would get after a Saab and I could not find anything I liked that I thought was worth the money. If you are not in a rush and can wait to find the right 9-5, I think you would enjoy that the most....as long as you have a Saab indy repair guy local for when you need something you can't fix yourself.
