Can Anyone Say Anything Positive About This Car? S80 2000

This car is the car that I have been looking for. It is truly love at first sight. A big sedan with room and safety for the wife and kids, and really fun to drive for the dad (I am looking at a 2000 model T6 with 54k miles).

I want to buy this car. It makes my heart race and my mouth water. However, EVERYTHING I read about this car makes me want to stay far from it. Here are a few questions?

Are all of these cars moneypits?

Does the ETM have a 100% failure rate?

Does the new warranty mean that a person can "preemptively" replace the ETM?

The two things that I see on the message boards over and over are the ETMs and the O2 sensors. Am I reading the message boards correctly? In other words, if it were not for these two components, would the reliability of this car be comparable to the reliability of most other cars?

Please help me. I don't think that I can live through another Subaru Outback. I guess I will have to give in and start looking at the Bimmers.
