Picked up a new to me set of wheels today. Saab 60th Anniversary Edition 17 x 7.5 ALU71's. Previously from a 2011 9-3 Aero and in pretty good shape.
I will clean them up over the winter and have them ready for next spring.

Nice score, those will look good on your 9-5. The one in the picture actually looks pretty clean already.
Those double 5-spokes in your pictures are still my favorite.

Thanks.
And yes those 5-spoke doubles (twins) are really nice.
The 'new' ones though are in better physical shape so I will switch them out in the spring for a different look.

New look for 2020. Had the ALU-71 wheels installed today and they look pretty good. No vibrations either.
Ready for summer.

Great pictures, your 9-5 is becoming better with age. Love the blue with the blacked out chrome.

- ‘02 9-5 Aero, ‘16 Skoda Superb SE-L Exec.
That looks a lot cleaner than my ‘02 Aero at 119k.
More things change. The more they stay the same.

A few small parts arrived the other day. eeuro stopped delivering to Canada so I used eSaab for the first time.
Instead of less than a week delivery it took 18 days. So not as good. But I was able to source the mirror control switch which for the past 3 years everywhere else has listed that part as no longer available, so great. They had 6 in stock.
Also got parking brake springs, the shifter jalouise, and a few other various bits.
The good news is I now have full control of my mirrors.

Repaired the fuel door lock by replacing the 12V motor. This is a lot cheaper than buying the whole lock, less than $15 vs $135.
Now my fuel is secure again.
