Check the classifieds section on Saabnet to see some really nice 9-5s. A 9-5 wagon with manual is one of the coolest cars out there. I think it's the best-looking wagon ever. 5-spd wagons are pretty rare, but on the other hand there's not a big demand for them.
Ideally, I'd look for a 2002 or 2003 Aero wagon. Have a friendly dealer check the IRIS system to see how often the oil was changed. Saab says every 10K is fine, but I'd look for more frequent changes. Replace the DIC even if you pay for it yourself.
You'll enjoy this car and you'll get a good deal. Be prepared at some point to replace the SID. If the heater direction vent (whatever it's called) goes you could be out some serious money, but other than that they're reliable, fast and safe.
