Saab did have a bad batch (I got one of them, replaced under warranty) but I thought it was fixed by the 2000 model. Only other typical problem with the 9-5 I know of is the SID display losing pixels (mine did - again replaced under warranty) - so check that the displays are OK. Don't think you will regret the 9-5, I love mine. --=20 Regards, Peter Wilkins
