The 2011 Saab 9-5: before you buy
CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2011 Saab 9-5; 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 2011 Saab 9-5 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the 9-5
Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Owners filed 9 complaints with NHTSA, most often about exterior lighting, service brakes and air bags; have those parts checked. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Reading the spec sheet
Power: the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbo; drive: front-wheel drive. The turbo gives a small engine the pull of a bigger one when you need it. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.
For 300 km of mixed driving, expect about 29 litres, from its 9.7 L/100 km rating. That works out to about $15.04 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,800 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Best uses
It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy.
Living with the 9-5
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight. Its 510 litres of luggage space fit a family's bags for a long weekend.
Rent it for a week first
Rent the 9-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. A test week in the 9-5 tells you more than any review.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.
Money matters
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. 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.
