My '01 was a disaster the first 40k miles - by far the least reliable (and most expensive) car I've had in 40 years of driving - DIC replaced after stalling out in the middle of high speed traffic, turbo replaced, throttle body replaced twice, head bolt retorque and PCV modification for oil leaks, among others. With lots of stuff replaced under warranty, it's run well the last 30k, and functionally is perfect for me, so I hope to keep it for quite awhile. Someone will ask if it was maintained, yes all dealer service plus 5k oil changes with Mobil 1.
So you might or might not get a good one. Would I buy another 9-5 in current configuration? No.
