Buying Tips for the Saab 9-5 NG

  • Check the rear LED light bar; if it is dim or failed, expect a very difficult and expensive search for a replacement.
  • Ensure the AWD system (if fitted) has had its fluid and filter changed; if neglected, the Haldex pump will fail.
  • Be aware that unique body panels and glass are very difficult to source if the car is damaged.
  • Test the "HiPer Strut" front suspension for knocks or play.
