The VIN says it's not an aero so the dealer is wrong, but it may be so close to an aero that it does not matter, and that may be their point. There were numerous upgraded 2006+ cars, many which may even be nicer than a stock Aero to some...
Do you have Aero seats for sure? the bigger side bolsters are the key there.
For 2006+ Aero really didn't mean a whole lot else. I guess they were probably lowered, but same engine + power. I have never heard a 2006+ referred to as an Arc either. I thought that 2005 was the last year for "Arc" and "Linear", after which there were just 9-5's with a variety of upgrades, and a few Aeros, hardly differentiated from the others.
Basically if you have the Aero seats, that's probably all that's of extra value. Winter in Canada is better with more ride height so the lowered suspension is a downside to me. Insurance cost for the Aero badge is probably higher also. I'm from Ontario also, and last I looked, there was 1 wagon in autotrader for the province + it was a 2001. You were smart to grab one while they were still available! I wanted a wagon, but settled for a sedan due to lack of wagon supply (of what I wanted)... sounds like you found an awesome car (we're really happy with ours). enjoy!
