In all seriousness, 2004+ 9-5's are bullet proof. Find a cheap 2004-2005 Arc wagon with 40kish miles on it. I got my '04 Aero with 31k miles on it last year, have put 15k miles on it, and have only spent $150 on a DI cassette. Of course there were some other things in there like tires, brakes, and a battery but they don't count. With a decent set of snow tires on it, who needs to haul around heavy AWD components?
You have a 2003 9-5 Arc now... that has the V6. I had a 2001 V6 and it was great but it needed a lot of attention (timing belt, turbo failure, etc...). The 2.3t in the 2004+'s don't have sludge problems anymore, use a timing chain, and have Mitsubishi turbos that last forever!
