With the increasing need for hauling shit around, I’ve been eyeing these up

Plenty of decent looking relatively low milers on SAAB Farm

2005 is the last gen of the OG 9-5. Best by far imo. The '06-> is an aquired taste and is full on GM/Opel plastics in the cockpit. The 06-10 Aero is quick though. 270hp out the gate.
04/05 has the second facelift (sharktooth) front which is just the best looking front..

So try to find a low milage 2004/05 Aero Sport Combi and throw in a Stage 1 Noobtune (if in UK) and you're golden.

So the twin turbos are to be avoided?

What kind of mileage is considered "low"? Few sub £3k Hot Aero 04-05 cars listed on autotrader but all around 150K miles. If you bought something like that, are they going to last or is a case of doing a decent amount of preventative measures to get them over the hump?
