Can I still get parts for a SAAB 9-5?
I am considering buying a post-2006 SAAB 9-5 Aero. What is your opinion of these cars? Is parts availability likely to still be an issue now that SAAB are supposedly up and running again?

As far as I know the only production that has resumed is for the 9-3, not the 9-5. I wouldn't buy an old shape 9-5 and would run a mile from a new shape. There is still reasonable spares, service and repairs availability for 9-3s.
