Consumer Reports - Used Cars to Avoid?

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post about a month ago. I'm still waiting for "my car" to come onto the market, but wanted to do a little more groundtruthing in the meantime. The 9-5 wagon is still the most appealing car out there for me. I'm currently searching for a 2000 MY 2.3 lpt based on the following: Consumer Reports has placed the 1999 and 2001 MY 9-5's on their "Used cars to avoid" list, and when I stopped by the local Saab dealership, they said that I should not buy a used SE because the V6 engine had problems and they were phasing it out (I know a lot of folks *love* their V6s, but that's what I was told).
Is there any credence to this? Should I widen my search criteria to include the '99s and '01s?
Cheers!
Stacy
