After several repairs that seemed too close together, and after getting nearly stranded 450 miles from home in need of a catalytic converter (at 89,000 miles), we came back and traded the following week for a very low mileage 2005 9-5.
I like the new car OK (but just "OK"), but nearly every day have been hearing the "act in haste, repent at leisure" mantra running through my head.
If I had it to do all over again, I would still be driving my 2000 SE 9-5, instead of thinking about how much more I spent for the new car, how much money the dealer made on both cars, and what a nice car the new owner(s) have.
My suggestion - take your time and think about it carefully. Look at lots of cars, and think some more.
I just hope that the next time I'm in that position, I remember my own advice and personal experience.
Jay
