Just read many of the posts on this site; even sought request about a luggage carrier. Thanks to all who responded. I have a 99 9-5 V-6 wagon with 44k miles. With the exception of the need to replace the engine "o" ring, my car (knock on wood) has had NO problems (other than a horrible smell that occurs if we use premium gas; we solved that by going to the middle grade.) Am I the only person with a 9-5 that seems to be so good that I'm anguishing over what to do when the lease ends? There's a good chance that we'll buy it outright now that the residual has sunk so low. (My only beef is the need for slighly more luggage space, which is why I was inquiring about a luggage rack.) I'm just not sure there's enough of a change in the new models to warrant a new lease. (Though I do plan to look at the Aero. Hate the new wood trim on the Arc.) Interestingly, and sadly, out here in San Diego, where I've lived for a year, Saab has a very LOW profile. One problem could be that the San Diego dealer is horrible. Do you really want to buy a Saab at a Caddilac dealer? I think not. It's NOT an improvement from the Ford dealer that used to sell 'em. (Imagine what it was like when the Ford dealer added Daewoo and Saab customers were being serviced by the Daewoo service department!) Walking in is like walking into a, well, a Cadillac dealer! (Thank goodness there's a good Saab dealer in Oceanside and a wonderful independent Saab mechanic in Encinitas.) Enough of my ramblings. Saab on!
