The Saab 9-5 for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no Saab 9-5 for sale by us right now. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. The Saab 9-5 for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
What to check on the 9-5
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN.
What the figures tell you
No fuel-use rating is published for this model year, so we leave those figures out.
Inside and out
As a mid-size car, it has a closed trunk that keeps luggage out of sight.
A good match for
It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.
Rent it for a week first
Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the 9-5 first, and buy only if it fits your life.
Running costs
Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.
Choosing the right one
A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
One more step
Questions about trying a car first? Ask in your request.
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 Saab 9-5 from us first.
Ask us about the Saab 9-5
Tell us your budget and when you want to buy; we look for a Saab 9-5 for you and reply within one business day.
Buying the Saab 9-5
Does CarmaCars sell the Saab 9-5?
Not right now. CarmaCars rents cars; it sells one only now and then. Tell us what you want and we look for one, or rent one for a week first.
Can I rent a Saab 9-5 before I buy one?
Yes. Request it for a week (or longer, up to 365 days) and drive it as your own; nothing is charged until we confirm and you approve.
Where do the figures come from?
Fuel use and fuel cost from the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), dimensions and weight from NHTSA vPIC Canadian specifications, recalls and complaints from NHTSA. We leave out any figure no free source publishes.
