I'm a sedan fancier, myself :) The 9-5 > sedan reminds me very much of the old(er) 9000 CD model. > > Paul > I nearly bought an ex-demo from a dealer - it was up for £26,000, only 3 months old. They offered me £8,000 for mine, I said the book price was £9,300, he said "it's only worth what someone wants to pay for it" I said, drop £1,000 on the 9-5 and I'll think about it...he said no chance. That's why I think if I go into a dealer and I say "I'm looking to pay £26,000 for a new one" they'll just laugh at me!! I'm after the saloon/sedan model. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
