Used 2005 Saab 9-5 Arc 2.3T Wagon for Sale near Seattle, WA

Performance is fine off the line but it really comes into it's own when you need to overtake. Torque torque torque it's all about the torque. The build quality is good if a little utalitarian. Nothing has broken or gone wrong in nearly four years so it's hard to grumble. I think my 9-5 wagon is probably the best looking wagon i've seen the bright red with the tinted glass looks very cool. Don't believe the stories about Saabs being expensive to run. All complete hogwash. Both my Saabs have cost less to upkeep than my previous Ford Taurus. For a wagon(Estate) it's a lot of fun. Of course it helps that it is a manual. The torque steer is manageable and despite a little more body roll than I'd like it's really quite chuckable.

I love this car. It is so versatile. The back seats fold completely flat. The only bad part about that is it limits the way you can position the front seats. The turbo is awesome, and the Sport button on the shifter transforms the car from a granny mobile into a track car. The traction control works great and saved me from hydroplaning into a guard rail on a curvy road the other day. It's very reliable. Just change the oil every 5,000 miles and remember to use synthetic, preferably Mobile 1, because it is has a turbo. I like the typical Saab styling, but I wish it was more sporty looking. My headlights are kind of "foggy" from sun exposure and like any OE headlights, they are expensive to replace. Wish there were real cup holders. The one next to the radio is broken in my car and only fits certain cups. That's just one of those quirky Saab things though.

I've owned several different new SUVs but my older Saab wagon has been my favorite to drive. I had heard others rave about their Saabs to the point where I thought they were crazy. One man told me he'd rather have a Saab wagon over a Porsche because of how it drove. There were stories about all the miles they'd put on and they'd still keep running. I was skeptical but bought my own after a test drive. I didn't want a car everyone else had and no way I was getting a minivan just because I was a new mom. So now I'm one of those crazy Saab lovers!
