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.
