    Could use some advice on buying a used Saab 9-2X

    Hey all,
    So I'm currently looking to buy my first "Subaru". The reason I put it in quotes is because I found an 05 Saab 9-2x Aero 5-speed. Its exactly what I'm looking for, I'm just wondering what to look for when I go to look at it. It has 122k miles on it and is from a dealer.
    Any help you guys can give me is super appreciated!

    The 9-2X was more Subaru than Saab and it seems you will get more feedback on a Subaru forum.

    With the Saabaru as with it's counterpart, TIMING BELT, don't trust the timing belt over 60K and replace water pump with every other belt change.

    Last year I bought a boat and with these things so well priced had to check them out. Not a better tow vehicle than my 9-3 Sportcombi, but they do drive and ride better than the standard Subaru and the 5spd makes it quicker. If you are over 6 feet tall working the clutch if traffic will get old real quick. Got a better boat this year, weighs 500lbs more than the old boat and now I need a better tow vehicle, laughed when I looked at the Saabillac and started looking for a good Trollblazer.

    I don't think we ever got the 9-2 in the UK, but I may be wrong.
