2003 SAAB 9-5 review from North America
"No confidence in its quality"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing has gone wrong in the five weeks I have had the car, or in the 400 miles I have driven it.
I am so disgusted with everything I have read, and have asked other owners, I just want to sell it. Every owner I spoke to, 5 altogether, said to make sure I get an extended warranty, $2500. Even the tech who changed all fluids said to get a warranty for sure..
This is a one owner car that was traded on a new Volvo S60. I paid $3000 less because it sat three months on the Volvo lot, and as the dealer said "no one looks for a Saab at a Volvo dealership. Take it, or it's going to the auto action.
