I New Hampshire I still see a few (3 in my yard) and a couple of neighbors have them. Plenty of 9-3SS and 9-5s, around, and are maybe 3-4 9Ks in my town, mine being one of them. There is a really good indy Saab shop nearby, and he stays busy. He says people are just holding on to the things. We sure are, but it won't last forever. My wife has a '03 wagon that will eventually be mine. Trying to keep my 9K as on ongoing project, but my time is getting limited. Younger kids is out of country, perhaps indefinitely, and I ran her '99 9-3 as my winter car. Think I'll keep it for that, save the 9K a bit.
Just drove the 9-5 to Nova Scotia and back. Spotted a few Saabs in Maine, about 5 in NS, one 9-5, the rest 9-3SS, and a OG 9-3. We have a place in NS and will be spending more time there in the coming years, and will shift to something that can be more readily repaired and have a local parts source. It'll probably be domestic or Asian. Sigh.
The 9-5 has been very reliable, but age happens. The average mileage on our cars (including elder daughter's '00 9-3 SE in Vermont) is about 200K.
