OTOH, I'm on my second 9-5 wagon (both SE, the V6 version). Ran out the lease (4 years) on a '99 that I liked, but didn't buy it out because it was overpriced; bought my current one used (same car, a year newer) a year later for $7K less. No significant complaints except they're a little more noisy than I'd expect an MB to be. The fours have an issue with ignition modules that's currently subject of a recall, but the sixes have relatively little trouble. The local dealer is actually a pleasure to work with, and Saabs have been popular in the area--but apparently we're more an exception than the rule in that regard.
