Beware of any computerized module

This is a great car and I love it to death. It's 2017 and my 2004 had 84k when I purchased the car. I had it checked and got the ok from my Saab mechanic. Now the bad- I have replaced every control module in the car at an average cost of 1500 dollars a pop for a total of about 6000. It's just like your technology at home, when it goes it goes and there is no way to detect when it will go bad. Your mechanic can check the mechanics etc... , but the modules are another story. I'm just saying if you buy one be prepared to spend money and enjoy the ride

Saab 9-5 Wagon

This is a comfortable family car for both city and highway driving. In town, it is nimble and easy to park. On highway it is quiet and the turbo gives the 4 cylinder more than enough pep.

We traded our Volvo V70 wagon after too many service trips to count for annoying things (windows that wouldn't work, door locks that were stuck, back latch not working properly...etc). After driving the SAAB wagon we wondered why we even considered a Volvo! The handling and pickup is in a league of it's own, the gas milage makes our old Volvo look like a pickup truck!

I have a fast and practical car which looks unlike everything else. It has had no problems and puts a smile on my face when I accelerate.
