If you’re looking for a very well-maintained, classic original Saab 9-5, this is a great example.
History: I’m the original owner. This car was ordered from my Saab dealer for European Delivery – built to US specifications. Because I planned to own it long-term, I selected the option for the cloth interior, which wears much better than leather and still looks great. I took delivery at the factory in Trolhatten, Sweden, drove it in Europe for a couple of weeks, had it shipped by Saab from Antwerp, Belgium back to my local dealer under Saab's European Delivery/IDS program.
Condition: This vehicle has high mileage, (including a lot of highway miles), but has been very well maintained. I’ve used Mobil-1 full synthetic oil & filters exclusively. It has newer top-of-the-line Michelin MXV4 all-season V-rated tires (7/32 tread, no uneven wear). A Bosch alternator, and battery were installed in July 2013. The turbocharger was rebuilt in 2014. The air conditioner components have all been replaced, and the A/C is fully functional. The interior cabin fan, heater valve, re-circulation door motor, and blend door have also been replaced. The System Information Display (SID) was replaced with a new factory unit (latest version), and works perfectly. The radio has been upgraded with the factory wiring harness accessory connected to a Motorola Bluetooth system for hands-free telephone capability through the radio speakers and built-in microphone. The engine has had the cylinder head machined, with a new head gasket and a valve job, and compression is good. The transmission and brake master cylinder and timing chain have been replaced. The vehicle theft alarm battery has been replaced and is fully functional. Genuine Saab muffler, in great shape. The fuel pump and filter, all hoses, thermostat, and radiator have been replaced. New (Bosch) front brake rotors were installed in 2015. Little to no oil leakage – all seals replaced, no oil sludge in engine. PCV crankcase ventilation system upgraded to latest Saab-recommended modifications. All work has been done by EcoTech – this area’s top independent Saab repair shop, or a local Saab dealer.
All emblems and badges are in great shape.
Fabric seats, in great condition – no leather to crack, crease, or discolor.
This vehicle has never been in a collision, but some time ago, debris fell off a tractor-trailer on the highway and hit the rear driver side door, which was replaced with a new Saab door (vs a used part, or door skin). The body shop (Schafer) did the work and blended the paint to match perfectly. There is also a scrape on one of the wheels from this incident, which was not replaced. The headlight wipers have been disconnected because the motors were not returning automatically to the off position. This vehicle has never had hail damage or been in any kind of a flood. There have not been smokers or pets inside.
Contact me with any questions, or for more information. Located in St. Louis County, MO area.
Passed Missouri State Safety Inspection and Emissions Inspection in October 2015.
Miscellaneous: Standard 9-5 features include: Front side backup lights; Valeo glass headlights and fog lights with cornering lamps. – (much less prone to discoloration and haze than plastic); AM/FM/CD/Cassette with auto-seek NOAA weather band, and ability to temporarily seek and assign radio buttons to strongest local stations when traveling without permanently changing saved pre-selects; split rear seats fold down for additional cargo carrying capacity; 3 selectable automatic transmission modes: normal, sport, and winter.
