The 2002 9-5, and especially the Aero with the sport seats, were the perfected 9-5's. I could probably get $23-24k fairly quickly on my lot for that car CPO'd. So IMO it's a darn good buy, but not quite a steal.
You'll spend another $20k, or around $40k, for a competitive European sedan with AWD and you won't get around any better, winter or summer, you'll just be going faster when you slide off the road. Your payments won't be dramatically different, leasing a $40k car vs buying a $21k car, but you'll be back in the same boat at the end of the next lease.
If you get the itch for somethin' different every 3 or so years then don't buy it, lease somethin' else.
