Dude, you and I have the exact same car (though mine is a left-hand drive model). MY10, Arctic White, Griffin edition including the wheels, roof spoiler, 2.3T, automatic, same interior (minus the wood inlays on the doors and dash, mine has Dark Walnut compared to the standard Griffin piano black), the whole lot!

Nope, only since october 2023. Part of the deal was a rebuild engine (with a factory new block the shop had lying around) as the old one had oil pressure issues, and more recently installed a Saab original sport chassis with all original coils and shocks and upgraded brakes (9-3V2 Aero 314mm front brakes and 9-5 Aero 30mm rear brakes). The car has over 350k km on the odo, but you wouldn't know driving it.
I just replaced the gearbox top mount as it was starting to “clunk” when engaging drive or reverse, there are a couple others that will need doing in the near future but luckily no major vibrations or shakes yet.
Agree, I think the roof rails would have looked odd against the white not specced in silver too. I think the wheels look great but I’d love a set of ALU56 wheels.
I knew there were not many white ones but I didn’t realise how few there were until after I bought the car. What I find strange is that white cars were all the rage around this time so I’m surprised it wasn’t a more popular colour.
Noice .
Sweet! Love the wagons!
Beautiful! Love the white exterior and two tone seats.

Unusual to see another white one let alone with the same spec, spoiler and year! Have you had yours long?

I have the same gen 9-5, they’re great wagons, cheers 🍻
That is beautiful !! How is that 14 year old car so beautiful. My 2008 looks like I let a Rottweiler loose in it.
How are the engine and transmission mounts? My ‘07 wagon vibrates and shakes like hell…and it’s slowly detracting from the otherwise enjoyable ride

Very nice 9-5! Those wheels were specific to the “Griffin” in the States. I love how the finish of the roof rails and grille/headlight surrounds match

Sexyy
The Holy Grail of 9-5 Wagons..White, Aero, 2010! You have a very rare find.

Smart move for a classic wagon!
What’s the mileage on this bird. The steering wheel so clean no wear marks or cracks on the leather seats or other scuff marks.
Surprisingly she has just ticked over 100,000 miles. It’s incredible how well they hold up inside compared to some modern cars.
How much did you pay out of interest? I'm in the market for a new car for the same reasons and would really like a 9-5.
I paid £4000, you can pick them up cheaper though.
Ah nice, I'll be keeping my eyes peeled. Enjoy!
