Do a search of this board for the various recalls and customer advisories applicable to the 2003, and then check the paperwork to make sure it was all taken care of. Most of this model's issues were taken care of during warranty, and if you live in a cold weather area, the front spring warranty was extended as well since they break from corrosion.
In addition to Ron's comments, your car's rear bulb clusters should be melting down just about now, and the rear main seal will be going soon too. The flex pipe as well. And make sure to have the rain shield installed to deflect water away from the cabin filter housing, and replace the filter housing while you're at it, or your cabin air fan and resistor will soon be toast.
If the prior owner had all of those replaced, you're gold.
If the work was done, and the prior owner serviced and cared for the car properly, you should be fine. My 03 is around 84K and drives great.
