The 2011 Saab 9-5 for buyers
We rent cars and sell one only now and then. There is no 2011 Saab 9-5 for sale by us right now. For anyone shopping for the 2011 Saab 9-5, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the 9-5
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car.
Specs, explained
Its 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo drives through a 6-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.
Expect about 29 litres for every 300 km, going by its 9.7 L/100 km combined rating. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $15.04. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
Is it right for your trip?
It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
Living with the 9-5
A car body like this keeps the weight low, so it feels settled on the highway. Its 510 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
A longer test drive
If the 9-5 is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 9-5 answers the big questions. A test week in the 9-5 tells you more than any review.
Choosing the right one
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. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$2,800 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 $15.04 in fuel.
