The lease on my 2000 9-5 5 speed is up shortly and I am wrestling with the decision to buy it or not. I can buy it out for roughly $16K. The warranty is good for another year and I only have 33,900 miles on it. No real problems, just a few minor things like a blown headlight, bad o-ring on my AC unit, a bad SID and a broken fog light I need to replace.
My main hesitation is the dealers out here in Phoenix leave a LOT to be desired and I don't know if the headaches are worth it. I am also in grad school so $$$ is very tight for another year until I finish and start working again. The option would be to grab something cheap and Japanese to get me through the next year of school.
Can anyone offer some advice to get me off the fence one way or the other???
Thanks, Bryan
