A 2000 9-5 what else? Posted by rob [Email] (#1828) [Profile/Gallery] (more from rob) on Tue, 28 Aug 2007 07:06:18 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
2000- 9.5- 99k- v6
Test drove this car yesterday, very clean. Turbo was just replaced by eurosport mechanic/dealer
Here are the problems I noticed...
Rear shocks seem to be bouncy.
SID has a couple of pixels out, not bad.
Gislaved Nordic Frost tires, fronts are new, rears are worn.
Passenger window rattles (metal to glass) when down half way.
Drivers side seat base seems to rock, maybe off the track or loose?
Winter tires also seem very noisey, is this common? I was thinking it might be a bearing but wheels seems tight no play.
Brakes seemed soft, but pads have more than 50% of the meat left, how responsive should these brakes be?
Other than this car seems great.
Can anyone share with me, are these items typical? are they tell tales signs of problems ahead? are they easy fixes? If the car is sound should these items be considered minor?
Anyhow, i owned a 96' 900 a few years ago before gf(wife now) totalled it, since then have been driving a 98 chevy truck and a crapalier.
Looking to put my wife and kid in the 9-5....
thanks and keep on saabin!
