Re: I'm thinking of buying a 2002 SAAB 9-5 LINEAR 2.3T TURB Posted by Snowmobile [Email] (#686) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Snowmobile) on Mon, 30 Apr 2012 11:57:53 In Reply to: I'm thinking of buying a 2002 SAAB 9-5 LINEAR 2.3T TURB, Mike, Mon, 30 Apr 2012 11:32:41 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
best bet is to ask on the 9-5 bb here... even easier, do a search for buying tips on the 9-5 bb. The 9-5 is a fantastic car, but there are definitely things to watch out for (like any car). Go into it educated + you have a good shot of buying a good one rather than a stinker. I would highly suggest having the car checked over (ideally before purchase) by a Saab independent. With any used car, it is wise to have some $$ stashed away beyond the purchase price to deal with unexpected repairs.
Even if you are not a DIY type, you can check if it has PCV#6 (search 9-5 bb for Anders' photo), check for sagging rear end (tape measure, see 9-5 bb for ride height numbers) + unusual tire wear (inside edges)... if the car looks well looked after, that's a good start. good luck!
