1999 SAAB 9-5 SE review from North America
"The car design and mechanics are flawed... parts are extremely expensive... more than BMW"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
In a 1 1/2 years I have replaced EVERYTHING that the cooling system touches and much much more!!!
Radiator, Water Pump, Turbocharger, Spider Heater Valve/Hoses, All Hoses, Timing Belt, Air Mass Meter, Oxygen Seensors, ABS Braking System.
DO NOT BUY A SAAB!!!
