I am a car dealer, and I sell alot of used Saabs (My personal favorite) and can tell you it is a very good car. In fact I sold a 99 9-5 with 82K and it was excellent. You will have normal wear but the will hold up and is very good. I was reading below about the guy who had replaced the turbo and the head, that sounds to me like owner abuse. Since your Saab is a Turbo you must make sure to let the turbo cool down before turning the engine, a mistake people make. The Saab 9-5 series is loaded with luxury and a very reasonable price.
