both 9-5s, one MY99 Linear, and one MY05 Arc, I marvel at how well the MY99 stands up to the newer one, in terms of value, comfort and styling.
As an eight year-old car, with the expected maintenance expenditures, it has been running well. As others have noted, the key, especially on the 4-cylinder models, is the maintenance records and history.
I occasionally notice the lack of traction control system on the old one, in snowy conditions, but I don't drive like a maniac in snow anyway.
I will be keeping the older wagon, at least until my twin sons can drive (in about 15 years). The new one, well, maybe I will buy it when the lease ends, if it keeps performing as well as it has.
good luck on the search!
