We are actually selling our 2001 Saab 9-5 Wagon in favor of the Euro 300TD/T. The Saab is a great car, but not worth the cash, IMHO. If I were to do it all over in that price range, I would go for the E39 BMW. A 1999 528 would be about the same in terms of price, and the driving experience, well, no comparison. What I like about the Saab is that it feels very solid, and the seats are *terrific*. I also like the kitsch of the ignition switch placement, front and rear heated seats, and I really like the venerable 4-cyl turbo engine. I avoided the V6 if for no other reason than it is a GM/Opel design and not true to the Saab tradition.

All that said, there have been a few wierd electronic glitches, and it costs me $400 a month in payments. The diesel wagon is already paid for.

Now, if you're interested, I have a gorgeous Silver 9-5 LPT Wagon for sale in Northern Virginia...

My two cents.
