Picking up 2001 Aero. Mainenance issues?

So I'm upgrading my 98 9000 to an 01 Aero with about 125,000 miles. I know the possible problems and all about the sludge issues, pcv, etc. I will pull the pan and valve cover and check and clean those, etc. Check/change fluids, etc. It was supposedly serviced at the local Saab dealer. (?) My question is about a couple of other issues I have seen.
Sub-frame bushings apparently wear out. Is there a way to visually inspect them?
Others say things like the alternator, fuel pump and tensioner pulleys tend to go bad in this mileage range. I am not inclined to change the alternator unless it goes bad. Any recommendations on the pump or pulleys?
I have an extra DI cassette for my 9000. Will that work as a spare for my 9-5?
Also, is there a way to get a Saab service record? I don't have a Saab service place near me. Is it possible to call one and get it or do I have to physically go to a Saab shop?
