Always Maintained, Mobile1 oil changed every 5-6k miles. New tires, alignment, oil chg, new brakes (all within last 2k miles). Always parked in garage. Sad to sell - relative illness needs easier 'in / out'

People who drive a BMW, Audi, or Mercedes will probably not be amazed by the Saab 9-5. No, it doesn't have a high-tech computer in it that merely complicates simple tasks, and no it doesn't have "active steering" or anything like that. But it's a hugely comfortable and powerful car that will haul a ton of stuff in the wagon model. It is actually comfortable for five people, and is well built and attractive in an odd way. Most importantly, it's far cheaper than the German and Japanese opposition. It's a car you'll want to keep in the family for years. Think of it as an old Volvo wagon, but far more stylish and cool.

This car is a Q ship. It has more power than a lot of other cars in the same price range, handles like a dream, and is very reliable. Who cares if it hasn't had a major restyling in nine years? They got it right then. Very solid, quiet, great stereo, and pretty good on gas too, not to mention crashworthier than a lot of coveted Japanese cars.
A fun machine

My first non-US car. I found great quality in the workmanship and material. All leather is not created equal and this is the tops. Love the look and the sunroof. 3 different transmission settings allow for a fun and responsive drive. So far, I'm sold on a SAAB. Free 36 month maintenance sure is nice. As said in manual, gas mileage improves as car is broken in. I've gone from 23 to 26 now. Mobile One and 93 Octane is used.
Wagon? yes, but it's a sport's car, too

Could not love driving a car more than this! The manual transmission is fun to drive. The Aero is agile & responsive. While there are cars on the highway that are attractive style-wise, I bought the Aero wagon because I wanted a manual. Not too many manuals out there in cars this size. And not too many wagons.
