The SAAB 9-5 (2006-09) 4DR SALOON 1.9 TID 150 LINEAR AUTO is a large, four-door executive saloon, offering an understated alternative to premium German family cars. It suits buyers wanting comfortable, roomy transport for families rather than a city car or fashionable SUV, and works well for commuting and longer journeys. mycarcheck.com has one lookup for this model, covering one VIN, so its figures are a snapshot, not a market trend. That vehicle averaged 133,000 miles, around 5,000 miles a year, and six previous keepers; its average private-sale valuation was £1,300. For buyers, check history and condition carefully before judging value. The 1.9-litre diesel and automatic gearbox make this SAAB 9-5 saloon a relaxed choice for drivers who value unhurried progress. The restrained styling and roomy cabin distinguish it from mainstream Mondeo and Vectra rivals, while Linear trim keeps the appeal simple. As with any older executive car, inspect it carefully.
