- Got the itch for something turbo for the times I’m not driving my Saab 900 Turbo convertible. Could this 2009 Saab 9-5 Aero sportcombi be the less boring way to get around instead of my 2010 Volvo XC70? Let’s find out!
Also, meet Scott from PMG Automotive! Scott and I have a penchant for inexpensive European cars, so this 9-5 is in our wheelhouse. Scott's shop specializes in keeping anything with wheels on the road for a reasonable price.
I’m a customer of Scott’s and can say that his business model is outstanding. Awesome find!
Shame she's a automatic. The 5 speeds are so much fun to drive... especially in wagon form! Thanks for sharing it with us. Interested in seeing how she turns out. Best looking wagons ever!(Well 2002-2005 anyways!)
Congratulations 🎉
2009 is a low production number nice! The only silver aero woah!
B235R was the production engine for all US 9-5s from 2006-2009. That motor is most likely original. The NG 9-5s (2010-2011) were the ones with the GM engines.
Somewhere along the b235 production lifecycle, the valve cover went to silver and had a different PCV connection, which is what this car should have. This appears to be an earlier B235.

You'll be able to tell by the charcoal canister, oddly enough. In 2004 the PCV upgrade was easily identified by the new charcoal canister that vents through a port right into the back of the block but still has the hose rhat comes from the top and a hose to go down into the oil pan. I guess their thinking was if they vented it directly into the block that 3 ports flow better than 2 and it lessened the crankcase pressure so less sludge. I found this out cause my 2002 9-5 Aero wagon had its engine replaced by Saab at 39,000 miles in 2005 (By its original owner). I had an evap leak and found that the canister was cracked around the port that vent down into the oil pan. When I went to replace it I noticed it was a totally different style and much larger than the 97-03 and had to order the updated one. If it has the old, smaller charcoal canister than the engine is from 97-03 and was likely swapped in. If it's the larger, new one than maybe the valve cover got painted. The 2004-2005 b235's had the upgrade and was still available in 235e for linear, 235l for arc, and 235r for Aero, although the b235l and b235r are the same. They have the same cams and turbo as the 235r but a different tuning on the ecu. The 235r was used exclusively from 2006-2009 in every model 9-5. I'm not a fan of the "dame edna" 9-5's as much as the 97-05's but an O.G. 9-5 is still a O.G. 9-5... just a very "GM" looking 9-5. Best wishes with this beauty, can't wait to see what you do with it! Thanks for sharing it with us!
