Alas we sold the 9-5 to a friend of my son's who has a 9-3 and has done EXTENSIVE work to it. He was ELATED to take over the reins of our '04 9-5 Aero SC Sport-Tek. So no ad on the boards. He's already made some mods to it. I can see him fixing up the dog leg rust too. We're just glad the car didn't go to someone who wouldn't love it.
We did buy that Volvo V50 for the Ms. I'm still thinking of it as a Volvo-ized Focus. I had a new cam belt and tensioners put in it first thing. I'll do the "lifetime" fluids next: Power Steering and Trans fluids. Brake fluid too. Volvo puts the PS reservoir in that car under the passenger side headlight. That 2.4 liter Volvo engine is NOT engineered like SAAB or BMW engines at all. Parts are kinda cheesy and cheap. I'll bet NEW 4 cylinder BMW engines aren't much different though.
My son still has his '03 9-5 Aero 5 spd sedan, so I'm not totally out of the SAAB universe.
