Main concern with 9-5's is sludge - either want a 2004+ ("fixed" pcv system) or a pre -2004 that got pcv#6 early enough that it hasn't been sludged (need history). Any car needs a good oil change record. Pre 2004 Arc is V6 + doesn't sludge but has other maintenance needs. All aeros + arcs 2004+ get the better turbo, whereas linears (really only exist -2003) get the GT-17 which seem to fail a lot. 2002 was a MCE year, got different look + some improvements in safety structure + other things, including 5 speed automatic (vs 4 in prior years) - no big deal... probably you're looking at the 2001-2004 for that price + maybe an older Aero or 2004 Arc. Nice cars.
Search the board for more info. This has been discussed many many times!
