I would not buy the '99 9-5. Mine has been totally unreliable with untold number of trips for service and broken parts. We will not count the 10 sets of headlights which I did myself and other minor repairs which I took care of. The car is a money pit (expensive parts). I have given up and have a Toyota on order. At present the Saab needs $3K of work (quote) for new brakes, ACC repair (ah the infamous 08 code) and a slow leak in the transmission fluid line for starters. I pray it holds up until the Toyota appears.
On a positive note the ONLY way you should buy the car you described is with an extended warranty that covers EVERYTHING possible because for sure most everything will probably go wrong with the '99 9-5.
