Buying the 2012 Saab 9-5
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Saab 9-5 for sale by us right now. The 2012 Saab 9-5 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
Its powertrain is the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
Rated at 9.7 L/100 km combined, it needs around 29 litres for a 300 km round trip. Every 100 km costs about $15.04 in fuel at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles.
Inside and out
As a mid-size car, it is easy to drive and park in the city. Its 510 litre trunk is enough for a family's bags for a long weekend.
Best uses
It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. A test week in the 9-5 tells you more than any review. Rent first, buy later: a week with the 9-5 answers the big questions.
What it costs to run
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$2,800 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.04 in fuel.
Choosing the right one
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
One more step
Rent it for a week, then decide: send a request with your dates.
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 2012 Saab 9-5 from us first.
