The 2005 Saab 9-2 for buyers
No 2005 Saab 9-2 is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page helps you judge the 2005 Saab 9-2 before you buy one anywhere.
Before you sign for the 9-2
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA has 111 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, fuel/propulsion system and suspension.
Engine and fuel
The 2.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with all-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 31 litres, from its 10.2 L/100 km rating. For 1,000 km, budget about $158.10 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
What the 9-2 is like
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. Its 510 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Who the 9-2 suits
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
The cost of driving it
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
Within the 2005 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
One more step
Ask us anything about renting before you buy.
Rent it for a week before you buy
A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2005 Saab 9-2 from us first.
Find me this car
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a 2005 Saab 9-2 for you and reply within one business day.
