Thinking of buying 2002+ 9-5 wagon

Hello everyone!
I'm looking for your help, input, advice on this topic. Always loved the Saab looks and it's spirit, but never felt brave enough to dive in an buy one because of fears of repair cost. Therefore I always drove Accords, Civics and Legacys, mostly wagons, beacuse I like the utilty.
What should I look for and expect from Saab? I'd like to drive stick, but not too many wagons come with it here in Toronto, so it could be automatic as well.
Why do Saabs depreciate so much? Eg. there is a 2005 Arc wagon automatic with 130 000km for sale for CAD 10000, and this is (I think) 50k new here in Canada. Is it because of unreliabilty, expensive maintanence....? I spoke to mechanics at GB Autos who specializes in Saabs and Volvos, and they praise it. Should I belive it?
I'd appreciate honest and objective opinions. Thanks in advance!
