I've owned several 900s and 9000s but now looking at updating to the 9-5 wagon (kids coming)
Test drove a nice one today but had several questions- looking for advice from any of you guys.
It was a 2001 9-5 4 cylinder wagon with 126,000 miles
-Belt/pulley/bearing noise when at idle, not sure if it was alternator, A/C or tension idler? Any ideas?
-Small amount of oil dripping from head
-Clutch seemed to let out towards the top, is this normal? Seller claims it is the original clutch, does this sound right at 126k?
-Turbo was replaced already, not sure why original failed
-A/C needs charging he said, could it be something more substantial?
Other than that it drove very tight and smooth.
Any red flags or big stuff to be aware of around 120,000 miles?
Thanks much appreciated.
