But it's probably not an issue for the current intention. I'll still have other cars for other purposes. > A lot of the early 9-5 owners, when they got leggy sold them for cash, > and bought bargain bucket 9k turbos for pennies, and got space and cash > in the bank. > > The 9-5 interior is quite nice though when fully equiped. Yes, I found that to be a good feature. Also the seats seem to be particularly good. I can't drive German cars for long becuase the slab-like seats are like riding a buckboard horse-drawn buggy. I think I can just about tolerate the Merc E-class and CLK seats but even those are bit on the firm side. SAAB seem to have mastered the art of making supportive but comfortable seating.
