or actually the £7000 question! 9-5 or 9000?
I have about £7-8000 to spend on a Saab, which has to be good for several years and about 100k with minimal tantrums.
I have seen a couple of 9000s with mileage in the 40000s, which look pretyy good, but I have also found realised that I could get an early 9-5 for this much. Question is, which is the better long term bet? And would it be safer to buy a late model 9000(that has been fully developed) or an early 9-5 which may still have teething troubles. Also, I have little intention of paying into a main dealer's retirement fund, so I will use a local specialist, and is it true to say that specialists are better able to deal with the older model?
Cheers all!
PS I will post this on the 9-5 list as well....
