DIC is not an issue, the new ones usually give a fault code before they fail.
Engines in 04 and later don't seem to have any sludge issues.
Head gaskets haven't been an issue since the OG 900, especially if the anti-freeze is flushed.
The Garrett turbos seem to be short-lived, but an Aero has a Mitsubishi turbo, which are pretty bulletproof.
The coolant bypass valve seems to be the most consistant problem on the newer 9-5.
At 60K, I would, if it hasn't been done, change ALL the fluids (trans, brakes, power steering) and all the filters, replace the serpentine belt and idler(s).
Then I'd put the rest of that $1500 in my pocket
