I don't think you'd be disappointed with an '05 Arc.
Faulty SID - Not applicable to 2004-2005 9-5's
DI Cassette - Applicable, but it won't leave you stranded.
HVAC - Yeah, they still sort of suck. Do an "Auto+OFF" test and make sure the display says "0."
Pulley Failures - Meh, not so much on the 9-5.
Peeling Paint - Never heard of this problem on the 9-5, although every 9-5 sedan I've witnessed has cracks where the C-pillars meet the roof.
Turbo failure - not a 2005 Arc. They use the Mitsubishi TD-04; lasts the life of the car.
Ashtray - Yes, it can be swapped for a cubby pretty easily.
15" snows - Nope. You need to use 16" or larger rims to fit over the large-diameter brakes on the Arc.
Really not much to look out for other than the HVAC thing I mentioned. Good luck!
