I bought this car in December, 2008 to replace my high-mileage 2001 9-5 V6 (sold with 184k miles). The Aero had only 31k miles on it, was in like-new condition, and the price was right.

Here are some pictures from the dealer:

I've owned the car for seven months and LOVE the thing. I'm up to 44k miles (as of 11/24/09) and have some more pictures and stuff to share. Be sure to check out my Town Fair Tire tirade on Page 2 . It's worth reading so you can save yourself the headache of having to deal with these loonies.

New Rims for summer (found on Craigslist for $300!!!):

Over Spring Break I put in some Xenons I bought on eBay but took them out because they did some goofy things. Check out Page 3 for more.

Here are the custom medium grey berber floor mats I ordered from State of Nine. I think they look really great:

Here it is with the Saab/Thule roof racks I found on Craigs List. It's also got newly scratched rims thanks to Town Fair Tire. You can read about that mess on Page 2 .

That's some story about your wheels. Excellent Aero though. I do believe I've seen you on SaabCentral here and there.

I love how detailed your page is. =]Ok, a couple things I wanna say.1. The stock wheels are awesome, best I've seen.2. Page 2 seems to be broken.3. Very nice Bluetooth install, most people are too lazy and just get one of those battery-powered visor ones.
