I did a lot of research on this car before I got mine. So far, all that I have found is that some of the '99 9-5's had some minor electrical problems(console and display lights) and brake dust buildup from the front brakes. Other than that most run until 150k-200k with no problems. From what I've heard the 3.0t has even had less problems then the 2.3t's. Basically the 9-5 is one of the most reliable new cars out there, not exactly a Lexus, but pretty close. What you should really be looking for is a nice long roadtrip to enjoy your B-E-A-utiful ride!!!
PS: If your are LOOKING for some performance upgrades, they are few and far between. You can get a High-flow CAI system from Taliaferro Saab, a couple of different exhaust systems(Remus,soon Bosal), and so far there is one company that makes a ECU/Trionic system upgrade, but you get 260hp out of it! Just some fun for later. :)
