#2123 of 2231 Re: 2006 9-5 Spyshots [blckislandguy] by saabgirl Mar 03, 2007 (5:17 pm)
Replying to: blckislandguy (Jul 06, 2005 5:23 pm) Incidentally, while in ME we saw lots of older SAABs but the Official Maine State Car, the one that replaced the SAAB, is clearly the Suburu.   My observation, too. The Saabs tend to be pre-GM takeover and the appeal of the Subie are the full-time AWD, durability and availability. My brother in law, who owns a farm up there, once used a Subie as a field bomb to haul veggies from his fields to his roadside stand. He removed the rear of the roof with a saw. Lasted for years. But the State Car O' Maine is still the ancient American pickup with at least one fender a different color than the rest of the vehicle. In the seat are a couple of gents who will inexplicably stop in the road to peer at something in the distance.

Could it be the switch? If so, where is the switch located? I have checked the fuse and the bulbs - both seem fine. Any other ideas?

#2128 of 2231 I have $25K for a car ... by saabgirl Apr 05, 2007 (6:39 pm)
I received my May issue of Car & Driver in the mail today, and it includes a comparo of five $25K "funsters." (Mazda Speed3, VW GTI, MINI, Nissan Sentra and WRX -- that's the order C+D ranked them.)   After reading the article, what struck me was the thought that for $25K, a buyer with some wits about him or her self, could pick up a Saab 9-5 of few years and miles for the same amount. My '99 9-5 now has 120K on the odometer and is still going strong. But I've been of the "what if" frame of mind and, after perusing the $25K field, I'm inclined to watch for a 9-5 Aero, 2.3, manual, coming in off lease.   For a solid, safe, economical, fun drive that will serve me well for many years, it's still a hard choice to beat, I think.

Replying to: tourney9000 (Feb 11, 2007 3:28 pm) Its in the harness. 9-5 are famouns for fraying harnesses on the trunk lid. Fray from repeated opening/closing. Replies to this message: crestonave (Apr 06, 2007 6:29 am)
#2130 of 2231 Re: 2003 9-5 - considering purchasing at end of lease [markian] by sweetseet Apr 06, 2007 (6:01 am)
Replying to: markian (Dec 02, 2006 12:17 pm) 9-5 is a good car provided its properly maintained. Parts can be pricey and labor if done through a dealer. However, the dealer is the best place to repair because they know the vehicle and save you money in long run. I had saab and service local and spent more money trying to figure problems out that dealers fixed easy. I will not take her to anyone other than my dealer now. You should only purchase ext wrty through dealer beacuse they must honor even if ext wrty goes out of business. Ext wrty is generally good but depends on what level you buy (gold, silver, etc.)   Good Luck. Replies to this message: ekc (Apr 07, 2007 3:45 am) crestonave (Apr 07, 2007 3:53 am)

Replying to: sweetseet (Apr 06, 2007 5:42 am) I agree. My trunk light lids went out and my backup sensors went nuts and it turned out to be the wiring harness. No problem since dealer replaced.

Replying to: sweetseet (Apr 06, 2007 6:01 am) Do all SAAB dealers offer the same extended warranty, or each dealer has its own favorates? Replies to this message: crestonave (Apr 07, 2007 3:53 am)
