SAAB 9-5 (1997-05) 5DR ESTATE 2.2 TID LINEAR

Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks

The SAAB 9-5 (1997-05) 5DR ESTATE 2.2 TID LINEAR is a large, diesel-powered family estate: a practical alternative to an SUV, with a long load area and room for passengers and luggage. In the UK used-car market, it now sits among older, affordable executive estates rather than newer premium models. It suits families, commuters and people wanting a car for work, trips and shopping. This 2.2 TiD is a roomy, comfortable long-distance companion; its Saab styling gives it a less mainstream feel than the Volvo V70, BMW 3 Series Touring and Audi A4 Avant. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 123 look-ups covering 61 distinct VINs, a useful snapshot rather than a full census. Checks show an average recorded mileage of 151,000 miles, about 9,000 miles a year, and 4.6 previous keepers; the average private-sale valuation is £400. These figures underline its age and budget positioning, so condition and history deserve close attention.
