| Description |
| I found this 9-5 through cars.com and was offered by a Ford dealer in Virgina. '05 9-5 wagons with good miles, color combination and options are getting more difficult to find these days. It's always a bit of gamble to buy a car far away from home but this one was in very good shape. Options in addition to the Aero trim: - Automatic transmission - Navigation - Visibility package (SPA, Xenon lights and auto dimming mirrors) - Sport Tech package (two-tone interior and CF dash) The only thing it doesn't have is the ventilated seats but those weren't available with the Sport Tech package. I have seen the two-tone interior in gray/black but never in beige/black. Truly a fully loaded and unique 9-5. I mostly prefer light-colored cars but blue is one of my favorite colors. And it goes great with the beige interior color. MSRP was about $48K and I paid $13,500 + tax for this 4-year old Saab 9-5 with about 68K miles. |

I have to say: Nocturne Blue is a fantastic colour. But then again, I have the same. Don't you just love the sudden depth and shine after a good wash up? |

I always liked Fusion Blue better but that changed after I got this one. I think it looks best when wet or in the dark/dusk/cloudy skies. But it is in serious need of a clay bar job, polishing and waxing so i think it'll look much better in sunlight when it has been properly detailed. |

Very sharp looking car, I actually found a stick sedan in Nocturne Blue with the Sand Beige/Charcoal Sport Tech on Saabnet but by the time I had called on it, it had already been sold. You swapped out the carbon fiber dash? Gotta say that was one of my favorite add-ons. I will admit the '02/'03 Arc dash does go good with that interior though. |

Sand Beige/Charcoal Sport Tech appears to be a rare combination. I never really cared for the carbon fibre dash as it seemed a bit out of place with this interior. I think it looks better with the black or grey interior. |
