I wish I still had my 2000 9-5

Earlier this year, I became one of those who hit panic mode and traded my 2000 9-5 SE (~90,000 miles) after a string of expensive repairs (DIC, thermostat, catalytic converter, and a few others I don't remember off hand).
I went for a leftover 2005 9-5, and while I like the newer car, the older one really was nicer in many ways.
As it turned out, the next owner of my previous car turned out to be someone I know. So I see this car at least weekly, it has given him thousands of miles service with no problems - and he likes it very much.
Lesson learned.
You've had many more problems than I had, but I still think that model year was a good one. At least that's the way it looks for my friend who is driving into 6 figure mileage with a smile....
