Purchase recommendation - 11/6/2007 6:24:17 PM    zoomooz   Posts: 3 Joined: 11/6/2007 Status: offline I am looking at several used 9-5 Aeros.  Looking at modeal year 2003 and 2004, both under 40K miles.  One at a Saab dealer and one at a non-Saab dealer.  Neither is CPO.  Any pointers on trouble areas to look for?  If I go with an '04, I'll have about 10 months of original warranty.  I would like to extend the warranty and was wondering of best choices for this.  Also, I'm comparing to Volvo S-80 and Audi A6.  I've got a Volvo now so I'm aware of extra cost for maintenance.

Before we bought our '04 9-3 we looked at a '03 9-5 with similar miles for about that price... _____________________________ Thanks, Joe Reichard *04 Mustang Mach 1 - 1 of 842 <-Mine *04 Saab 9-3 Arc Convertible - Lime Yellow <- Hers (in reply to Roto) Post #: 5
