you know a car has been maintained you probably don't need to worry a whole lot. I'd be inclined to pull the valve cover to see if the top end is sludgy looking, then maybe the pan to dig further. But otherwise these are pretty reliable cars.
Our '03 wagon came to us as a CPO two years ago at 40K. It had all the oil changes done at 5-6K at the selling dealer. Guy who had it had bought cars there for years. One minor warranty item done in that period. Since then, we've had rear shocks (common issue), PCV#6, a steering column (wire came off some clips), couple of headlight bulbs, and I think some other minor thing. All free. Otherwise it's add gas, change the oil and drive it.
