Interesting you should mention that. I bought a 1999 9-5 with a bad timing chain and cracked gas tank for $1800 two years ago. Took the engine out and replaced all the timing bits and the balance shaft chain/guides/tensioner. Cleaned the oil pickup (10% blockage, which was good) and have put 25K miles on it. I would like to say its been trouble free, but it went on to need a brake booster, a throttle body, all the engine mounts and rear suspension bushing. On the other hand, the Asin-Warner automatic seems to be bullet proof.
I keep looking for a 2004-2005 5-speed Aero, but haven't seen one in my price range ($5k).
Because of the sludge problems with the 1999-2003 models, buying one is a crap shoot, unless oil change records are flawless and the PCV-6 version of the crank vent system has been installed.
