Happy day- the 9-5 is paid off!
We bought our 2001 9-5 2.3lpt 5MT in late November, 2001; using 0% interest for 60 months in GM’s “Keep America Rolling” promotion. That’s when we offically became a two-black-Saab family for the first time. Since the interest was 0%, there was no reason to pay the car off early.
On Friday I contacted Saab Financial Services to make the final payment, as they wouldn’t automatically deduct it from our account. Awesome! Now we can begin allocating that money for more fun stuff… like upgrades!
In any case, I washed the 9-5 on Saturday to celebrate it’s 5th birthday and our official ownership. The water I sprayed froze on the driveway later that afternoon, leaving a nice sheet of ice that persisted through Sunday morning!
After 5 years I still think the 9-5 looks sharp, and we still are enjoying it. Enjoy the photos and have a great day!
A nice little family shot… btw, I didn’t find any squirrels nesting in the 900. False alarm, thankfully!
