The SAAB 9-5 (2006-09) 5DR ESTATE 2.0T 150 LINEAR SE is a spacious, five-door family estate, not a city car or SUV. In the UK used market, it rivals the Ford Mondeo and Vauxhall Vectra, while its distinctive Swedish styling gives this practical, turbo-petrol Saab a more individual character today. With generous luggage space and a comfortable, composed ride, the 9-5 suits families, commuters and drivers who cover distance, those needing estate-car practicality without choosing a common model. The 150bhp 2.0T balances relaxed cruising with pace; as an older petrol estate, economy and condition deserve checking against budget and needs. Mycarcheck.com has one check for this specification, so its figures are a snapshot, not a wider trend. That check showed an average private-sale valuation of £1,300, mileage of 144,000 and five previous keepers; recorded annual mileage was 14,000. Check each car’s history, upkeep and condition carefully before you buy one.
