Saab 9-5

The Saab 9-5 was the brand's final executive car, produced from 1997 to 2011 across two distinct generations. The first generation (1997-2009) was based on the GM2900 platform but was so heavily modified that Saab claimed only 10% of parts were shared with its Opel Vectra cousin. Known for its turbocharged engines, industry-leading safety features, and quirky details like a console-mounted ignition, the 9-5 represented Saab's unique approach to engineering.

Collectors appreciate the 9-5 as the last true Saab, especially the high-performance Aero models with their potent 2.3L turbo engines. The ultra-rare second-generation cars (2010-2011) are highly sought after due to their scarcity following the company's collapse. SportCombi wagons also have a dedicated following for their combination of style, utility, and performance, embodying the brand's practical yet individualistic spirit.

With an average sale price around $8,500, the 9-5 market remains accessible for most enthusiasts. The low end of the market consists of high-mileage daily drivers, while the top sales over $25,000 are reserved for immaculate, low-mileage Aero models or the scarce second-generation cars. These figures show the model is beginning its transition from a used car to an emerging modern classic.

Based on 55 sales, prices range from $954 for project cars to $25,250 for top-spec variants.
