9-5 engine/turbo/oil questions

Was planning on looking for an '04 Aero sometime next year, but a 2000 turbo 4cyl appeared in town for significantly less. 2nd owner purchased from relative (all records available), oil changed every 3K miles, new turbo at 79K miles; work performed at local Saab dealer (30 years), 128K miles on odometer, slight oil leak- no oil added between oil changes (I have recently read about a head-bolt issue). Guy has no knowledge of PCV issues, hence doesn't know if it was updated. DI cassette replaced under warranty at 60K miles.
I have been hesitant to consider a 9-5 prior to '04 due to the sludge issues but this one seems like it might be a good buy; I was advised to only consider a 9-5 with excellent records of oil changes..... How does the oil leak relate to the known PCV/sludge issues? Does the replacement of the turbo and/or DI cassette indicate anything pertaining to the PCV issues?
Also, when did ESP become available as standard or optional on 9-5? I thought it wasn't until 2004.
All advice appreciated
