This 2004 Saab 9-5 Arc 2.3T sedan is finished in Nocturne Blue Metallic over Sand leather, and it has 54k miles. Powered by a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four linked with a Sentronic five-speed automatic, it was registered with one owner in Missouri until 2021, and it was acquired by the seller in 2023. Subsequent work has included wiring repairs, overhauling the air conditioning, servicing the suspension and brakes, and replacing the throttle body, thermostat, and fuel tank. This 9-5 2.3T is offered at no reserve with service records from current ownership, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.
Exterior details include pinstripes, xenon headlights, headlamp washers, and window rain guards. The right headlamp and third brake light bulbs were replaced in 2024, and the trunk wiring harness was repaired. Weathered trim around the rear window and other flaws are pictured in close-up photos shown in the gallery below.
The front torque rod, front control arm bushings, and rear-facing control arm bushings were replaced in 2023, at which time the 16″ five-spoke wheels were mounted with 215/55 Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S tires. The brake rotors and pads were replaced in February 2024.
The heated and power-adjustable front seats are trimmed in Sand leather, and the cabin has a glass sunroof, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a CD/cassette stereo. The left-front window rollers were replaced in 2023.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, boost pressure, and fuel level. The digital odometer indicates 54k miles, ~14k of which were added by the seller, who notes some pixel damage on the left side of the climate-control head unit.
The turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four was factory rated at 220 horsepower and 228 lb-ft of torque, which is routed to the front wheels through a Sentronic five-speed automatic transaxle. The fuel tank was replaced in 2023 along with the PCV check valve, brake vacuum pipe, thermostat, coolant temperature sensor, coolant, and battery. In 2024, the throttle body, drive belt pulleys, and air conditioning compressor, expansion valve, and receiver drier were replaced.
