It's time to let my Saab 9-5 Aero go. The reason is that it's a manual and
I've got teens learning to drive; it's too quirky of a car for that plus I
just need a wagon for hauling stuff.

It's been completely reliable on super long road trips recently to Baker
City.

I figure $2500 is the best "no haggle" price I can offer as there would be
no surprises and the new owner would know what they are getting into. If
interested let me know and I'll shoot some photos.

Here are the details:

Good stuff-

-Manual 5spd

-I'm the second owner. First owner had it for ten years, me four years.

-All receipts since new.

-All maint done at Saab & Volvo

-I work from home so car is driven sparingly over the last couple of years

- Interior 8.5/10 (front driver seat was replaced but then I popped a seam
and it needs to be stitched)

-Totally reliable for road trips

-Factory roof bars and two factory Thule trays w/locks

-No engine issues at all; no sludging; turbo is totally fine

-Replaced DI cassette two years ago

-Lots of little parts replaced to keep it looking & operating "as new" to
the degree that's possible

-Original Factory BBS wheels

-Saab all weather floor mats

-It's an Aero so all factory Aero options (engine, brakes, interior (heated
seats front/rear), suspension, exterior differences, lower to ground vs.
standard 9-5)

-Adult owned and never abused

Less Good stuff-

-Has a random oil leak. Not head gasket though as compression is fine.

-As mentioned above front driver seat had a seam in the seat cushion come
undone; I'm sure the cover can be removed and sewn

-Paint on hood is cloudy and I'm not sure why. Maybe orbital polisher could
take care of it? Paint everywhere else is basically fine.

-245k miles; though again, it runs fine and I've never been stranded.

-14 years old
