Just speculating here on Saab CPOs which go for six years or 100K from date of service. I think it's correct to say that right now Saab will only CPO cars that are 2004 or newer. But suppose that an '03 Saab had been turned in at the end of its lease, been CPOed (good for 6 years or 100K) and resold. Then suppose the second owner in 2008 trades it in for another brand. If mileage ... Read More...

This has been an issue for a long time, now solved. After 280K miles in a 2000 9-5 I now have a 2007 9-5. After 6,500 miles.....NO BRAKE DUST!! Nothing...nada! Contact eEuroparts for Saab OEM and Akebono ceramic pads (no dust). You can leave the dust behind you. Read More...

2004 Saab 9-5 Aero - Excessive Brake Dust

Written by: jlamson on Aug 29, 2007 05:34 PM

I just bought this car a couple months ago, and I love it. Does anybody know if there are any brake pads out there on the market that don't cause my front rims to get black after a few days of driving? I'm not certain, but I think the front brake pads are Saab brand. Thanks, --Jim Read More...

Re: Question about the warranty [crestonave]

Written by: pengwin on Aug 19, 2007 09:09 AM

Well its not a "certified" 9-5 but i have seen some 2004 certified saab's so im guessing certification is based on weather the dealership wants to certify the car or not. Yes i am buying the car from a Saab Dealership and i wanted more warranty coverage than the standard. Can i ask the dealership the "certify" the car? Or would i be better off just purchasing an extended ... Read More...

Saab 9-5 Lease Questions

Saab lease WAAAAAAY over miles.

Written by: phollie on Feb 27, 2007 06:59 AM

folks, I've got a 2004 Aero 9-5 Wagon that has about 18 months to go on a 4 year lease. So far, unlike my prior Saabs, this car has been flawless. My question is, what should I do as far as the lease goes. If I keep driving at the present rate, I'll be at 62000 miles on a 48,000 lease. Also, my warranty is up at 50k too if I'm not mistaken. Should I try to get out now? Consider ... Read More...

I can certainly understand what you guys have gone through; see if I can help to make any constructive advice here: Starting with key problems I still remember I had ... Read More...

Pirelli Tires keep failing

Written by: tnedbalski on Jan 16, 2006 00:02 PM

I'm wondering if someone else out there is having the same problem as I am with my 2004 Saab 9-5 Aero. Overall it has been a GREAT car with one exeption: I have owned it for 18 months and have replaced 6 (six) Pirelli Z rated tires on it. I keep getting bulges in the sidewall(s) that the manufacturer calls road damage and won't replace. We Live in Richmond Virginia (no ... Read More...
