yes, 2004 is when they sorted out the pcv system from the factory (but it is not the same as pcv#6: that only applies to models up to and including 2003). In 2004, they dropped the linear except in the wagon (though even those are uncommon, most are arcs or aeros)... they also dropped the V6, so the arc is a 220hp 2.3L with the TD04 turbo. The linear wagon still had the Garrett turbo + I think 185hp for 2004. We have a 2004 arc sedan.
the automatic transmission is good in any 9-5. I think they removed the auto trans dipstick in 2005? there is one in our 2004...
check for rear tire cupping/wear especially on a wagon for a potentially worn rear suspension (or different front rear tires might also suggest this)...
there are other things to look for though, so especially if you don't have a maintenance history, take it to your saab indy for a look over...
06+ every 9-5 had the full power of the Aero models, but got the Dame Edna front end (which some like, but me not so much)...
