yeah, my 2004 still feels like a new car to me. Others are amazed that it is 10 years old also. The suspension work I did myself with Konis etc and performance tires transformed the car. Sure, the c900's are a little more raw fun (especially in winter), but the 9-5 is a fantastic touring car and the main reason we bought it a few years ago was I was so sick and tired of driving lousy rental cars on long trips (we stopped taking the c900's really far afield a few years ago since we have kids, and regardless how much maintenance I did, there was always a risk of something stupid causing an extended delay). Many of those rental cars were cars people here on this bb like and recommend. Even my wife hated them (and she is not much of a driving enthusiast). Our 9-5 has been rock solid, and I can't envision replacing it for quite some time. Who cares what the resale value is?
I think some people just get bored after a while and at 10 years, there are some repair bills to pay, and the combination turns them. That's not me, but I guess that's how it works for some people... good for me - if I ever need another, I can get it cheap!
