Car Forum / Saab Cars / January 2006What's the Deal $5000 9-5
Hey . I'm being offered Saab 9-5 2000 model for $5,500. This car has 120,000 miles on the clock, clear title history and seems to be in good condition. Problem is the price is so low that I'm worried there might be something wrong with the car. Seller claims car's perfect but I want to know if price is realistic before I spend $110 to get it inspected. Some of you out here probably have plenty of experience buying used saabs. Does anyone have advice about buying the 9-5? >Hey . I'm being offered Saab 9-5 2000 model for $5,500.

Al Carfax's clean. I know (from experience) that that doesn't say the car's perfect >>Hey . I'm being offered Saab 9-5 2000 model for $5,500.

If it's anything like the 9000 you'll be replacing the clutch, timing chain, ACC blower pretty soon. A crankcase ventilation problem causes premature oil wear. Check the engine compression.

A crankcase ventilation problem causes premature oil > wear. Check the engine compression. You don't replace the timing chain or clutch nor thw acc blower on a 9k at 120,000 miles. Maybe you have bad luck. Not eveyone else does. If you didn't know SAAB is notorious for its low resale values, you do now. So don't expect to fetch any significant amount when you are ready to sell yours. Why's that? They're supposed to be great cars with gobs of usable life. And they're really popular among enthusiasts. > Why's that? They're supposed to be great cars with gobs of usable life. > And they're really popular among enthusiasts. Tell me about it. I have owned five of them. Currently own three 9000's, '94cde, '94cs, '95cse, all turbo and five speed. If it has a manual transmission and is a light color, send it to me in Golden, CO! I'll buy it!

My mechanic said it is "impeccable." And it really feels it - very smooth, quiet, tight-shifting, etc. It was on the low end of the price range, but the guy had a Lexus, probably a lot of money, and just wanted to get the car sold. It was his wife's car, bought new in Sweden, maintained by the book. Listen to the seller's story and ask questions about the service history. The more questions you ask, the better idea you'll get about how the car was maintained. You may just be lucky.
