Two headlights have blown out. It needs a new key battery. I had one of the oxygen sensors fixed (at dealers cost).
I bought this car as a Carfax Certified One Owner 2003 SAAB 9-5. It is black with tan leather interior. This has been the second 9-5 I have owned; the other was a 1999 9-5 SE. I knew that I might have to deal with some expensive fixes but also knew it would be worth it.
My particular vehicle has 130,000 miles on it and the interior looks brand new. The performance of this vehicle is amazing, and I have found that the reliability of SAAB has improved since GM took control of the whole company in 2003; they had only partially owned SAAB previously. You will be taken aback by the huge amount of room in the back seat. You will also love when you sit in the front seat; you feel like you are in a plane cockpit with everything turned towards you, and with very easy to use features.
If you are willing to pay some repair costs, you will have a car (in the 9-5) where you can pull up at a red light and everybody will just stare. SAAB has the whole package and are premier vehicles. SAAB FOREVER!
That was my review awhile back. Since then I have totaled my poor 9-5 and am forced to find a new vehicle.. sad day, probably going for a Volvo XC70 wagon, But don't worry, I won't be gone from Saab long!
