Used Saab 9-5 for Sale near Nanaimo, BC

I love this car! Awesome in snow, TURBO, looks good, hauls the whole family and all our stuff, and if we ever hit a moose? Saab thought of that. :) The default transmission setting is a bit doggy, but switch it into "sport mode" and turn off the traction control and it will smoke the tires. Not your grandmas wagon!

Great car but expensive to maintain. Fun to drive, fast, handles great on dry or slick pavement. Very comfortable with great stereo. Decent gas mileage. Very very safe car, has 5 star safety rating. More unique than boring toyota or honda.

This is perhaps the best car Saab ever made before GM totally wrecked everything good and independant about them. It also was the last of the saabs made before GM forced them to stop making overly complicated, over engineered time bombs. Possibly one of the best handing FWD cars I've ever driven, this car is so solid, so fast, and so comfortable, you almost forget you arent' driving a BMW or Audi. Saab pulled out all the stops for this model. Making it the safest, best performing, most comfortable Saab ever. The attention to detal is staggering. But as they say, the devil is in the details... These cars suffered from the malady of its own complex designs. the 2.3 turbo engines, while ultra reliable in prior saabs like the 9000, proved to be troublesome in this variant with oil sludge and turbo failure problems near epidemic. Self destructing belt tentioners, malfunctioning traction control, uncontrollable climate control, wer just a few things to truly hate. But if you can get one with few of these issues you'll be a happy person indeed. When saab says the 'people who test drive a saab buy a saab' they ater talking mostly about 9-5 owners, and they are correct. I did, and I did.

It is the cheapest way to have a 230hp/350NM car that carries the family safely, can carry some luggage, resonable to insure, 9l/100km on an average. Hard to beat. The value of my 2000 9-5 Aero estate is approx 30 000 SEK.

Nice leather interior with all the bells and whistles. The turbo is nice when entering the motorway and for a wagon it handles surprisingly well. Nice a spacious for the kids and a very confortable ride. Through and through the Saab is a quality built piece of machinery that is worth it's weight in gold.
