Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

That being said- its great if you need to move or haul shit for your house. 

 

‘Hi honey i got your new water heater!’

Most people that buy trucks or SUVs should be buying minivans or sedans. They just want trucks and SUVs to feel like they have some meaning in life because their kids drained them of any meaning.

Ideally you want to replace both headlight clusters though if the other side is okay just replace the cluster shown in the picture.

many saabs came with a stickshift option too, and i've even seen 9-5 wagons with stick.

You could get the 9-5 in either manual or auto, and fwd or awd, same with the 9-3

 

Hell, I had a manual 9-5 with the Green Aero for a while

It's honestly pretty good and responsive when I've used it. The pre facelift like mine doesn't have the paddle shifters though, while the facelifted 9-3 does. If you want paddle shifters as well I'd highly recommend the facelift model

Looks like someone beat me to it but I see an Aero (manual trans) with about 150k listed for $3800 would have to talk them down a bit on the price. Got beat again lmao. Okay now its probably an Auto Aero or stick 2.0T. hmmm why does this have to be so hard ?

Another great thing with the facelift 9-3 is the radio situation. For some odd reason the 03-07 9-3 (Pre facelift) they connected the headunit with fiber optics, and it's an odd shaped headunit, which just about makes replacing it if you ever want or need to, just about impossible.

 

I'd also highly recommend looking for a clean 9-5, as long as it doesn't have the 3.0 V6, those motors were absolute trash. I love my 9-5 Wagon, have had it for a few years now

After getting increasingly pissed off at the bodyshop that has my car(which included it being parked up outside and bird shit etching the paint), it's finally being started on this week. 

It's been with them for 2 months. And off the road a total of 9 months now. Time flies when you're catching the bus xD
