#2193 of 2231 What to do by ipcguy Sep 20, 2008 (3:49 pm)
I'm very interested in buying a 9-5 as a car to use at my Florida home. It will not have a lot of driving and I'm wondering if getting a high mileage (100K) is OK as I don't want to tie up much cash in a car I'll only drive 3 months of the year. Your thoughts are appreciated. What are common problems I will likely encounter. I'm thinking a 2001 to 2003. Replies to this message: jscottk (Sep 20, 2008 4:27 pm) ipcguy (Sep 21, 2008 9:51 am)

Replying to: ipcguy (Sep 20, 2008 3:49 pm) You've got your 120K maintenance, (in a few years I guess). A four cylinder will cost about $700-$800, a six around $1200.   I've owned two Saabs at this mileage and little things have gone but nothing extraordinary. A great mileage to buy into - a lot of money for the car.   Scott Replies to this message: ipcguy (Sep 21, 2008 9:51 am)

Replying to: jscottk (Sep 20, 2008 4:27 pm) Thanks Scott. Did you mis-type and MEAN it'sa lot of car for the money or did you mean it the way it was written.

#2197 of 2231 Saab 9-5 fails to start by tnels77 Sep 23, 2008 (10:45 am)
I recently purchased an '01 Saab 9-5 Sedan. I've had no problems with it, then this morning it failed to start. Everything else works fine, and there are no warning lights/signs/messages. It just fails to turn over. After about 10 minutes of pulling the key out and retrying, it finally started. I thought maybe it has something to do with my fuel flap, which just yesterday became bent accidentally while I was filling up, and was open when the car wasn't starting this morning.   Does anyone know anything about a possible fuel flap-starter connection? Has anyone had a similar problem? Your help is appreciated.   Thanks. Replies to this message: zooburgh33 (Jan 07, 2009 7:56 pm)

#2200 of 2231 Re: Car stutters while on highway, stops at lights [jwooda33] by saabnut1 Sep 27, 2008 (8:04 pm)
Replying to: jwooda33 (Apr 07, 2008 10:50 am) I had a similar problem on my 99 Saab 9-5. The issue was, the drive belt tension pulley got locked up and it caused the drive belt to snap and shut down the engine. Your car may be having a symptom of this problem. I suggest you take it to a mechanic you can trust and ask them to specifically check the condition of the tension pulley. They may not able to tell the condition just looking at it, if that is the case, I would just have it replaced for your peace of mind. These things wear out eventually and cause you lots of headaches later.
#2201 of 2231 Serpentine belt by ipcguy Dec 22, 2008 (5:45 pm)
I have a '99 9-5 which has a rattling sound when the car is at idle in drive or reverse. Sounds fine when on the road. The dealer says it's caused by the wrong belt which bypasses a pulley. They want to replace it. Please advise.
#2202 of 2231 Saab Parts by ipcguy Jan 02, 2009 (5:27 pm)
Can someone recommend a parts supplier online for 9-5 parts either used or new? Replies to this message: zooburgh33 (Jan 07, 2009 8:09 pm) ipcguy (Jan 11, 2009 10:58 am)
