Thinking of buying the 2005 Saab 9-2?
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2005 Saab 9-2; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is the 2005 Saab 9-2 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
Recalls and complaints
Owners filed 111 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, fuel/propulsion system and suspension; have those parts checked. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
What the figures tell you
The 2.5L 4-cylinder does the work, through a 4-speed automatic. It runs on regular gas. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
Plan on about 31 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 10.2 L/100 km. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $47.43 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,900 a year for 15,000 miles.
How big it is
As a wagon, it has the length of a car with a bigger load space at the back. At 510 litres, the trunk fits a family's bags for a long weekend.
When the 9-2 makes sense
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.
A longer test drive
If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Drive the 9-2 on your commute before you commit to it. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
The cost of driving it
Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,900 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $15.81 in fuel.
Narrowing it down
Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
