Purchase of 1999 9-5

I am looking into purchasing a 1999 9-5 sedan coming off a lease with approximately 70,000 km (44,000 mi). From what I can see the vehicle is very enjoyable driving machine but I have some concerns with the reliability and cost of repairs and service. I live in Canada and there are not many mechanics and garages that specialize in these types of vehicles. An extended warranty can be purchased from the dealer but this is $3,300 (Cdn) for 3 years which seems to be high when compared with other vehicles. Is this indicative that the car is likely to have some problems and the extended warranty cost is high to cover the potential charges? What I am trying to find is a car that will be fun to drive but without the hassles or added expenses of having to do repairs. Have others found this to be a reliable car requiring a minimum of maintenance and repair?
Thanks for your input.
