Good afternoon, I fell in love with a Saab 9-5 2004 that looks as neat as Cate Blanchett on the night of the Oscars! It is clean, very clean! Everything on it works! And handling all the switches, they feel as good as new. Well, unfortunately the LPG system on it didn't seem to work, which is a...

I test drove a '95 Saab 900 s (manual trans, non-turbo 4-cylinder) and I'm seriously considering buying it. It would be my first Saab, and my first stick shift. The owner wants $2000. The car looks to be in great shape: no rust, clean engine and interior, recently-replaced clutch and brakes...

Hi All After 4+ years with my trusty 9-3 1.9TiD, we needed a change, and got a fair offer for our own car, which we took. One reason is that we want to change to an automatic. Now, I've found an 05 9-5 Estate, 2.2TiD, Automatic, with 99k miles on it, and it seems in good condition - but I am...
