I have been looking around for a Saab wagon to buy (having looked at several) and have finally found one that I want to make an offer on. It is a 2000 9-5 5-speed with 146,000 miles (mostly highway) on the engine. It is in great shape, clean inside and out, starts easy, engine runs well, no noises, and rides very well. Having done a little research and am familiar with the sludge problem, I am a little hesitant because of the miles. The owner has used only synthetic oil (the sticker of the last oil change still on the window) and it has the pcv upgrade kit installed. He is asking $3200, but I think I'm would make an offer about $2500. Any hints and or advice?
