The 9-5 now gets pretty good reliability ratings from CR, as a car should that hasn't been changed much since '99. Couple that with their infamous depreciation, and you have a used car bargain.
My clan has two '99 9-5s in the garage, one with 126K, and neither one has created any drama whatsoever for a couple years now. (But we, too, keep a Honda in the stable just in case.)
But you do absolutely, positively have to keep the maintenance sched and it helps much if you're in an area with more than one dealership handy. But if a motorist simply needs a transportation appliance, I'd rec something from honorable Nippon. (Although IMHO most Hondas do satisfy the fun-to-drive requirement without slipping into Rice Rocket styling. But these days even BMWs are looking more than a little Rice Rockety. To each his own, I s'pose,)
