Well as you can imagine, punctuation is very important here. Depending on how you do it, "9-5" could be interpreted as "4" and "9-3" could be interpreted as "6" which would create the strange situation of the less expensive car being better. And neither would be very good.
Maybe my theory has a flaw in it? Nah, couldn't happen... ;^)
Actually what gets me is the folks that skip the punctuation completely. Can't tell you how many "Saab 95"'s I've seen in classified ads recently. Geez, that could be 4 different cars! A 95 from the 60's, a 1995 NG900 or 9000, or a 9-5! Aargh.
