No history on 2007 9-5 because european delivery?

Written by: billy44bob44 on Aug 25, 2009 08:47 AM

I'm looking at a used 2007 9-5 Aero and the dealer says no vehicle history report is available because the vehicle was originally acquired by the 1 original owner using Saab's European Delivery program, where you fly to Europe to pick up the car, drive it around, and then they ship it to the US (it is built for use in the US not in EU). Does this sound right to you? When ... Read More...

Wow, nothing like talking to yourself in a forum. I just wanted to say that in the sixteen and a half months (and a mere 10 posts overall in this forum) that I posted my one year review that my 9-5 has been absolutely flawless save for a very occasional rattle near the sunroof. The short term lease is about up and I will miss it quite a bit, it's been a really good car that ... Read More...

2006 Saab Navigation System

Written by: tourney9000 on Aug 27, 2008 07:12 PM

Just bought a 2006 Saab. Has the nav system, but no DVD came with the car. Are all DVD's compatible. For example, can I buy a 2005, 2006, 2007, or 2008 DVD and it will work. I plan on buying at ebay, is that a wise move? Read More...

Written by: airpower on Jun 11, 2008 08:20 AM

I am also about to lease a 2008 9-5. Let me give you some quick tips. The $2500 cash to dealer, and the current Saab $1000 bonus cash are NOT valid on leases. In April, Saab did have a $1000 lease bonus. I am waiting for that to come back. I am hoping for a July 4th sale of some kind. Also - The only way to lease a Saab (if you can afford it) is with GM's SmartLease Plus program. ... Read More...

New Wagon

Written by: stmss on Apr 07, 2008 11:33 AM

I am looking at replacing our 99V70 with a new (or slightly used) wagon - either a Saab 9.5 or another Volvo. Volvo is preferred at the moment mainly because Saab has little product in my area and overpriced. I am in Canada and looking at importing the Saab from US as the MSRP is close to $8k less for new. But - having owned a 2001 Saab 9.5 sedan, and the heavy depreciation, ... Read More...

Just bought 2007 9.5 Aero Combi

Written by: pearson244 on May 01, 2007 00:06 PM

Dealer in Maine took $6,777 off sticker, I test drove the car(25 miles on the clock) and fell in love. Have owned a 2000 and 2002 ARC sedans, both with V-6's. I did not know what I was missing. (But, I had basically zero problems with both cars, despite all the neg. comments on the V-6) Seats, power, handling, braking, HK sound system all super. Options include Visibility ... Read More...

That is pretty much my opinion about my '06 wagon, except I find the stereo more than loud enough. Perhaps you need to adjust the base-line volume level. (Plenty of posts about this on saabnet.com). The only significant problem I have had was a bad sending unit in the gas tank which caused me to run dry when the guage was just barely touching the red; lots of annoying ... Read More...

2.3 4 vs. 3.0 V-6

Written by: pearson244 on Dec 03, 2007 09:25 AM

I am on my 3rd 9.5. First two (2000 and 2002) we're V-6 powered, my 2007 is, of course a 2.3 260 HP turbo, Aero in this case. I used to be annoyed when folks picked on the V-6, I loved the power and smoothness of that engine, although that asymetrical turbo seemed to cause a weird "elastic" throttle response. Anyway, between the two V-6's, I put on combined 50,000 + miles ... Read More...
