SAAB 9-5 (1997-05) 5DR ESTATE 2.2 TID ARC AUTO
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The SAAB 9-5 (1997-05) 5DR ESTATE 2.2 TID ARC AUTO is a roomy, five-door Swedish family estate: a practical alternative to an SUV for buyers wanting a generous boot and comfortable long-distance travel. In the UK used-car market, it sits among larger, more premium estates, competing with models such as the Volvo V70 and BMW 5 Series Touring.
The 2.2 TiD diesel and automatic gearbox make it well suited to relaxed commuting, motorway journeys and family holidays, while the estate body helps carry luggage, shopping or outdoor gear. The Arc trim gives it a more comfort-focused feel. Compared with newer rivals, its distinctive Saab character and spacious, understated cabin stand out, though age and condition matter greatly when buying.
mycarcheck.com shows only three checks across two VINs, so treat these averages cautiously: 74,000 miles, two previous keepers, £800 private-sale value and 1,000 miles driven annually within this small sample of listings.
