thinking of tradeing my 2000 vert jzw stage 5 for a clean 2001 9-5 aero im i nuts stupid or a good move?
I have reaced the point that I am bored now with my vert and I need somthing new I would like a solid daily driver thats still nice looking and one full blown hobby car,,,,,,,,what do you folks think
How many miles does the Aero have? And whats the service history like on it? I think it would be good trade. The 9-5 will probably handle better than your Vert, too. Plus, you've got a stage 5 9-3, so I'm sure you won't really leave the 9-5 stock, and they can handle a lot of power. ;)
The 9-5 Aeros are supposed to be serviced with full synth oil only so many of them are a bit ahead of the sludge problem. It doesn't mean they they can't be affected though and a good service history is important. They have the high-pressure turbo and those should last a long time.
The 9-5 is an awesome long-distance cruiser and is a pretty good handling car as well. As with any 9-5 recommendation, the 2004+ 2.3T are the safer choices. It may make sense to spend a bit more and get a later year.
