I don't see many options other than a 9-5. 9000s are becoming scarce, and need some creativity to maintain due to parts issues. I have both and as much as I hate to admit it, the 9-5 is probably an all around better car despite GM influences.
I get all of my cars outside of Maine to avoid rust. You need a plan though. Do you have a Saab friendly mechanic? Do you keep up with Saabnet and stay familiar with failure trends? Can you do basic work yourself? Records are important and a pre-2004 9-5 should really have the oil pan dropped and checked for sludge. I don't mean to tell you what you might already know, I just think SAAB ownership is now a new ballgame, and involves more owner involvement. You can still get a lot of car for the money if you do your homework.
