Mike,
I have to disagree on your opinion of the V-6 in the 9-5. I have a 1999 9-5 with 109K miles on it in the shop on a lift right now. Tensioner bearing failed, timing belt became loose and jumped time. Engine is a loss. Fixing it or replacing it with a used one will be $5K plus. Timing belt was done at 60K, don't know about tensioner bracket and lower idler pulley.
They still leak from the oil cooler cover, just like the 900 and 9K did. Valve cover don't leak like the 900 and 9k, but you do have 2 DI that do fail.
If it were cheap enough and I could get CPO or a very good extendo warranty, then may be I would go for it. Other then that, no way!
Steve
