Joining the 9-5 crowd

Just bought a 99 9-5, SE (with the dreaded V6 engine) to replace a recently crashed 99 9-3.

It's a one owner example with extensive service history, reasonable interior and very nice exterior.

Buried in the history is a timing belt about 15K miles ago.

Only obvious issues are a leaking oil cooler (not going to be fun), a dead engine mount (yet to be found) and probably a set of front struts and mounts. I'm sure I'll find a handful of other bits and pieces but for the most part, it's really solid.

Service history and original owners folder still in the glove box, pretty sure everything that should be in the trunk is there. Tools, dirty flat tire storage bag, warning triangle etc.

Both original keys and remotes -- UGH! Gotta get some real keys cut and fire up the Tech 2. Tempted to find a couple flip keys for it just to be different.

Yea, I know it's the V6 but for $800, just could not pass it up even with 150K miles on it.
