Pretty much the further you get away from 1999, the better they get. They kind of flat-plane around 2004 and up. I'm really sorry your 9-5 is not impressing you, but I think if you get a newer one you might be happier, as many of us here are. Have you tried the V6 at all? That would be a good choice 2000-2003. If you found an 02 or 03 4-cyl get it checked for sludge, as I'm sure you already know tons about unfortunately. If you can afford 2004 and up for for it! They're almost bulletproof, and came from the factory with the updated PCV and don't really suffer from sludge unless they're badly mistreated. I would highly recommend looking around on Edmunds and reading some of the consumer reviews in the used car research/specs sections. A lot complain about 1999 but the reviews steadily get better and better through he model years.
