Just about everything will switch over. Seats, door panels, whole interior, everything under the hood. The only difference is from the rear seats back. I had a wagon and switched a sedan interior into it with no problems. Keep the DIC from donor. Others will chime in with more.
Aero parts on a 9-5 se
I have a 2000 saab 9-5 that I’ve had tuned to stage 1 for about 8 months and I recently got a completely rusted out 9-5 aero wagon for cheap and I was wondering what parts would I be able to transfer to my sedan. I bought the wagon entirely as a donor for the tdo4hl15t turbo in a plan to swap it onto the sedan and retune (along with a new clutch) but i was wondering what other parts would be valid to switch over. i was going to do the seats and some trim pieces, but is there anything else i should/would be able to swap onto the sedan?

Download the WIS and EPC - very very helpful for estimating which parts do fit your wagon.
Sway bars and struts may be an improvement over the se in terms of larger sways and slightly stiffer, lower springs. Not 100% positive on the latter, though. What year is the donor wagon?I have a 2000 saab 9-5 that I’ve had tuned to stage 1 for about 8 months and I recently got a completely rusted out 9-5 aero wagon for cheap and I was wondering what parts would I be able to transfer to my sedan.

What year is the parts car? As close to 2000 would be good, but I'm not sure North America even got Aeros that year. There were various changes in the engine bay over the years, even from the nominally identical 2.3 turbos.
Rear seats are different in the wagon. I'm not sure about rear door panels either.
If the wagon isn't sagging at the back, the springs should be good for your sedan....assuming they don't give the raised-rear hot-rod rake.

2000 was the first year for the Aero in North America. The only interior upgrade the Aero had was the sport steering wheel. The seats were the same as the cheaper models, and they had the same reddish-brown walnut dashboard.
I've yet to see any wagon that isn't sagging at the back unless it has spring spacers.

Take everything electrical of all descriptions, and consider things like door seals if in decent condition, and any specialist looking fittings or mountings, even things like interior bolts and nuts have come in useful for me to keep anther Saab rolling.
