Buying a 2000 se...what to look for?

I'm looking at a 2000 9-5 se. Dealer said it recently had the lower piston rings repaired (was leaking oil up into the piston head) and otherwise it is rock solid. It has 120,000, and looks very good cosmetically (with the exception of the brakes - lost of spotted rusting on the calipers probably from sitting, and it looks like the rotors will need cut or replaced, and the pads probably need to go as well. The e-brake is also loose, he said his mechanic was working on it, but didn't finish).
This car isn't being sold as a dealer-sale car. He's not registering or plating it because he wasn't planning to sell it from his lot (he sells $15,000+ cars). He was going to let me have it for $1200, or $800 if I also get the '92 900 there for $800, which I plan to). I used to own an '86 900, and am familiar with the need for constant repair and a Bentley manual.
What else should I be looking at / weary of? Oh, yeah, the SID needs repaired too...my brother can re-solider that ribbon though.
