You can get another car, but getting something that's actually the equivalent of a 9K is pretty much impossible. (Although in the UK, the new Vauxhall Insignia comes close)
My '96 will come home with my kid in February with 180K+ on the clock, hopefully in one piece. If it's still in good shape I'll be keeping it awhile longer. Until then, I'm driving her '95 CS (admittedly a bit of a beater), but at least it's a 9K. We'll swap cars again in Feb.
As I think further ahead, I know my 9K won't last forever. But what to replace it with? Since I don't buy new, I guess a 9-5 will work, but they just aren't the same. And lack a hatch (unless I take over my wife's wagon). I'm gonna go drive some other makes/models just to satisfy my curiosity, but the problem with driving Saabs for 26 years is that most other cars just don't match up too well. When I drive something newer, about all I notice is that the NVH is much lower, but that's really all I find that's improved.
