And I bought a mint condition '07 9-5 Aero Anniversary Edition 5 speed with 29k on the odometer, and paid $17,500.
It really was a pretty easy decision for me. I didn't want to buy a car out of the first production batch of a new model - there are bound to be issues - been there, done that before with NG Saab 900 in 1994 and it was not good. No moonroof. Costs $50,000 - more than twice what I paid. And I prefer Combi's. And I already also own a 2003 9-5 Aero Wagon. So, essentially I have two very good 9-5's for much less than a new 9-5, albeit with all of it's new technology.
So I decided I'll drive the '07 for at least 2 years and then evaluate what Saab has available in the 9-5 platform, and with some peace of mind that most of the bugs should have been worked out by then.
