I have a 2001 9-5 V6 with over 180k miles on it. Two big ticket items I have had are turbo and timing belt, which wouldn't apply to the Aero, but the Aero has some things that wouldn't apply to the V6. Anyway, I'm a college kid, 19, who works over the summer and over my winter break. I have owned my 9-5 for 2.5 year and have put about 23k miles on it. By the end of November with some stuff I've got lined up to be replaced I will have easily spent $6,000 maintaining this car ON TOP of what I bought it for and taxes and insurance. Over the 2.5 years and with SOME help from my parents the costs has been do-able. Unfortunately I'm not saving much money and don't have much extra for other stuff. I like my car a lot and love driving it but I think it will eventually get to a point that it's not going to be worth the aggravation and waste of money at which point I will get a newer 9-5 with LESS THAN 50k miles on it. Good luck with your decision.
