I'm a long time 9000 owner (mine's a 95 CSE, wife's is a 98) and for a couple of years now I've been looking out for a 2004 or 2005 9-5 Aero Wagon with manual transmission - not easy to find, especially in the Mid-west. Anyway I finally found one for sale in Detroit and picked it up last night. It does need a little TLC, but I think I adjusted for that in the price (I hope I did anyway).

Number one is the A/C is not functioning so need to get that addressed ASAP with the current weather we're having in Ohio - it was a sweaty drive back from the dealer last night. There's a small patch of rust on the rear wheel arch - this would normally be a dealbreaker for me, but I've been looking for so long I figured I would just have to pay my bodywork guy some big bucks to do a good repair job on this.

Anyway I'm looking forward to joining this board and learning from the collective wisdom of the group - I see a few names on here I recognize from the 9000 board.

Main decision now is which 9k to get rid of - wife says we should keep hers because it's the desirable 98 manual transmission model and it has fewer miles and a nicer interior. But my 95 has the SAS swaybars and stage 3 tuning. My guess is I'm going to lose this argument...
