Thinking of buying the 2000 Saab 9-5?
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2000 Saab 9-5 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. For anyone shopping for the 2000 Saab 9-5, here are the facts that matter.
Before you sign for the 9-5
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Owners filed 119 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, service brakes and fuel system; have those parts checked. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent.
The numbers in plain words
Its 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 5-speed manual. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
The combined figure, 11.2 L/100 km, means roughly 34 litres for 300 km. At our price setting, it costs about $17.36 to drive 100 km. The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Who the 9-5 suits
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
How big it is
Its car body is low and settled, with a separate trunk. EPA lists 1,048 litres of luggage space, enough for bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the 9-5 on your commute before you commit to it. Rent the 9-5 for a week and see how it fits your life. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Year and trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $173.60 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel.
