jimmygee, I wanted to get back to you on your question about premature failures. On my 99 9-5 sedan, the turbo, dic, heater fan ($600+) water pump, and a couple pulleys all failed under 100K. $4,000 in cost for these listed issues, and unacceptable in my mind. The person that I got my 2004 ARC wagon from (82K) upgraded the entire suspension and brake system to the factory AERO specs at a cost of about $7,000. Scanwest in Seattle did all the work, and I have all the invoices. But it had the DIC replaced at just over 50K, a couple motor mounts, ignition (key) module, CV boot and about 10 other things. Just seems like a lot by most standards. He had a great extended warranty and it appears he got everything he could squeeze out of it.
