Our 2001 9-5 Aero has 139,000 miles on it and we've been spared a lot of issues.
What I had was the head bolts were never torqued right, but we discovered it as soon as we got it (4,400 miles) and the PCV was already done. We had a weak battery cable connection I took too long to address but that's fine now and it fixed what I thought was a bad alarm system. Replaced Coolant Bypass Valve, CPS, DIC, throttle body (brain issue) and both rear shocks and springs. Swapped the fluid completely out for synthetic on the manual box for better shifting. The car sat for awhile with too much ethanol in it maybe and hence the fuel pump was replaced early on.
Meanwhile, the thing is still plenty fast and gets 32 mpg the way I drive it. So, how are you gonna convince me a V6 from any year is better than this? You can't. Especially since we only paid $ 15,100.
