Buying the 2006 Saab 9-5
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2006 Saab 9-5 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Before you buy the 2006 Saab 9-5, here is what the figures say and what to look at.
A buyer's checks
NHTSA has 23 owner complaints on file, mostly about air bags, electrical system and engine. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.
Engine and fuel
The 2.3L 4-cylinder turbo, paired with a 5-speed manual, drives it. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The EPA rates it at 10.7 L/100 km combined, so a 300 km weekend uses about 32 litres. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $18.72, and a 300 km weekend about $56.16. The EPA estimates US$3,750 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Space and size
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. The EPA lists 1,048 litres for luggage, roughly bulky luggage, a stroller or sports gear.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits commuters, couples and business trips. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
Try before you buy
Drive the 9-5 on your commute before you commit to it. If the 9-5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
Running costs
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $187.20 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
Over to you
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 2006 Saab 9-5 from us first.
