Used 2002 Saab 9-5 for Sale near Kansas

This vehicle is the best one I've owned so far. Saab does an extremely good job with every inch of this vehicle. This car is one of the safest on the planed with safety bars throughout. Not to mention that the body consists of 5 layers of steel...not foam. This one has never been in an accident, but I have seen 9-5's that have been in serious front end crashes with the engine block and the windshield still in tacht. After the safety comes performance. The steering is nice and tight and with my functional left foot, the manual transmission serves me well. Even with having the smaller of the two engines offered in the Saab 9-5, with the turbo it is more than sufficient when reaching a thrilling speed. I have not yet maxed out this vehicle, but did have it at 140mph with plenty of room left on the tach. Let's just say I didn't feel safe about going any faster on a Twin Cities freeway. The vehicle is also equipt with some not so necessary, but helpful features. It has seat heaters not just for the driver and front passenger seats, but for the rear as well. The headlights have sprayers for washer fluid and the glove compartment can be turned into a cooler in the summer. With a vent coming from the vehicle's air conditioner, your drinks or snacks will be kept cold as you are driving. With all the wonderful things about this car I would only reccomend buying a Saab 9-5 if it is older than a 2007, since GM decided to re-do the interior. The newer models have the same interior you will find in a Chevy Impala and is not quite the Swedish joy you would find in previous model years. However, for someone in the market for a high quality used car I would highly recommend the 9-5.

It runs well, great pulling power speed. The body shape is great. Unfortunately, the fuel consumption is not very efficient considering it is 4cylinders. It has heated seats, leather interior and lots of other attractive features inside. If well maintained it can be a fun car to drive.

Great reliable car, wonderful highway cruiser. Lots of torque but doesn't translate into great acceleration. Cost of ownership has been very small, but the car has only 60k miles. Very steady and safe but not real fun to drive. Doesn't justify the fame for quirk, really a mainstream sedan.

Superb Swede Station-wagon. Love it. Especially the kick-down :-)

Good: Fun to drive! Factory stereo is awesome! Transmission sport mode turns car into sports car...really. Acceleration very nice. Interior is very nice. Leather stays like new for several years. Seats very comfortable. Bad: Needs timing belt changed every 60k miles vice 80-100 for other cars. Brake dust a problem...it gets everywhere. Head lights burn too hot melts/wears out plastic housings. No option to turn head lights off...if the car is on the lights are on. On-star is analog, outdated.
