I wouldn't buy a first model year car. A 2004-05 9-5 should be easier to find a good one + they are <10k now... we are in a similar boat. A couple c900s + looking to find a good 9-5 wagon, because we are sick of renting for long trips. The downsides to renting for me: hard to get the vehicle I want (a euro wagon with roof rails actually, and this is unobtanium in the rental world). Many rental options are some combination of: don't drive as nicely, are not as comfortable for the long trip, use more fuel, can't take a roof rack.
also, as I understand it, the 9-3 from 2005+ is even more reliable than 9-5 and is also in around $10k.
good luck!
James...
