I'd go for the 9-5. They don't mind miles, especially if it's cruising miles. You don't say what price range you've targeted. You might do a search for a high mileage, late model, one-owner car. Instead of hunting for, say, an '00 or something in that neighborhod, you might think about this twist -- High miles plus the infamous Saab depreciation on a three or four year-old car could give you a transportation bargain. And the later model car could have a clearer maintenance history.
Heck, I drove a one-owner, certified, 44K, '04 Aero this week that, I'll betcha, could be had in the mid-teen$. That car will easily make it to 150, and it's hard to imagine finding anything that combines fun and function for that per mile price. If the same car had 80K on it, and records in the seat pocket, you could probably get it for under $10K and still make 150K.
Happy hunting and good luck.
