I own a 2003 9-5 Arc. If I could give it back today - I would.
Two issues in particular that have affected my opinion.
The transmission is not optimal to the powertrain. There is a unexpected downshift (3 to 2) that jerks the car. The dealer says its normal. There are no software updates to fix the problem.
Then the problem with a constantly squealing belt. It was adjusted three times and no permanent solution. The fourth visit is next week.
Before you buy, check the car's service history at the dealer.
By the way. Carfax records can be manipulated. I know ...
This is our 8th Saab. The only one I bought outright. Wish I didn't.
