I didn't know that UK didn't have memory seats standard in 2001. For reference; I got my 2001 9-5 SE with heated seats for about $27,0000 US. Heated seats (front and back) came with it. Almost everything else was standard for the SE including the memory seats. I dont have things like the HID lights, ESP or rain sensing wipers but its of a rather small consolation to me. I'm certainly happy with the car I got for the money I paid. -Frank -- "Simon Watkins" <siwatkinsnopsamIEIO.org> wrote in message news:3c9777a0_3nopsamntp-1.news.uk.worldonline.com... > Not sure about the pricing model in the States, but I had a quote from Saab > City London (UK's largest Saab Dealer) for an 01 Car and the 02 Car.
