Upgrade my 98 9000 to 9-5 Aero??

I have been driving 9000's for over 20 years, and had three of them. I currently have a 98 with over 225,000. It is in nice condition, but it seems I have to keep fixing things. I do all my own work, so it's just the cost of the parts. But not sure how much longer I want to keep it. Right now, it needs a condensor and heater core and is burning some oil and one of my cylinders is fouling a plug. It has a new turbo but the original tranny and it drives great, just like new.
So I found an 03 9-5 Aero on cl and am tempted. It has 110,000 miles and I haven't looked at it yet, but will in the next day or two.
For those of you that have "moved up" to a 9-5, what do you think about retiring my 98 9000 for a 9-5 aero? It seems that the 9-5's have more things to go wrong and my be more expensive to repair. I feel I can keep my 9000 running for a while and it is the best car I have ever had. But at some point, for my wife, who drives the car, it could be time to move on.
