Well i made my decision + have just purchased a Saab 9-5 2.0 Turbo Saloon R Reg.
Its lush!
Sorry but this kind of delays my plans to purchase the 2.3 Scorp for now.
LOOK
Theres even a Saab Enthusiast sight!
Just read a few points which have impressed me lots;
All 4cyl models have the balance shafts like the 2.3 Scorp.
All models are fitted with a Turbo, however (unlike most Turbo cars) have a cooling water jacket surrounding the bearings, hence no nead to perform the idle-rundown routine on arrival at ones destination.
All Saab models can run on all Octanes(Leaded + Unleaded) of Petrol due to engine/fuel self detection + automatic Timing Adjustment.
Parkers + other good independant Review sites give the Saabs an excellent rating and say to expect the engines to serve atleast quarter million miles.
2.0 Turbo Charged (+ Chipped) engine gives similar performance to Cossie but with better mpg, lower insurance/road tax. Anyone up for a Track Day?
Cool eh!? 
And seeing as its a unique design, its a great follow on from the Scorp too.
Smiles all round 
Oh + forgot to mention, its also the first EVER car to get Full 5 Star marks in the Euro NCAP test results. No fatalities in our household then

No Puddles Lights ?  Good Luck with it, hope it's not a real minger.
I'd rather take my chances with a traditional Car Auction than E-Bay though.

I am an Aftersales Manager at a Saab Dealer.
When you run into problems, give me a shout on here.
I'd rather drive my 2.0 Scorpio Estate over Saab to be brutally honest.
