The 2012 Saab 9-4 for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Saab 9-4 for sale by us right now. The 2012 Saab 9-4 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
Recalls and complaints
Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Under the hood
The 3.0L 6-cylinder, paired with a 6-speed automatic, drives it. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
By the EPA's combined rating of 11.6 L/100 km, 300 km takes about 35 litres. At our price setting, 1,000 km costs about $179.80. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
Space and size
The higher seat of an SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.
Drive it on your own roads
Rent the 9-4 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A test week in the 9-4 tells you more than any review. Try the 9-4 on your commute, then decide.
Which one to look for
Within the 2012 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.98 in fuel.
Ready when you are
Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
Rent it for a week before you buy
