Oil Change intervals and type of oil would be the first thing to look for.
Ensure the PCV updates (#6) are done for increased confidence on avoiding the oil sludging issues that plagued earlier 9-5's.
I recommend you consider a 2002 or newer aero package which gives you the TD-04 turbo and more horsepower. Have noted on the board that the Aero's seem to have better reliability for the turbo.
Other than this, regular maintenance is always improtant for any car you buy.
