First, make sure that regular maintenance has been done. The things
to look for as far as maintenance goes are the following:
1) Spark plugs
2) Oil changed at least every 5,000 miles
3) serpentine belt change if car has over 60,000 miles
4) DI recall performed
Other than that, you'll need to look out for the "blue smoke" problem if
used 9-5 is 2001 or earlier. Blue smoke is seen from exhaust during
cold starts due to faulty turbo on 4-cylinder models.
6-cylinder variants have less problems than 4-cyclinder 9-5s. For
example, 6-cylinder variants do not have the blue smoke problem. But,
for 6-cylinder 9-5's you'll have to verify that the timing belt was changed
if the car has more than 60,000 miles on it.
Cheers,
Jae
