1998 9000 CSE purchase - thanks the advice!

I bought my 1998 CSE, automatic, 129k miles that we talked about for the last week or so.
I want to thank all the generous and helpful information that you guys provided. You gave me a bit of confidence to pick up this fine car. So far, after 2 days, I'm real happy. A real sweet car.
I have a few questions. I plan on taking it to an indy mechanic next week to have a few things checked out. My plan is to purchase a DI cassette and plugs from eeuroparts.com and install them myself. The oil was just changed and I was advised that I should stick with regular oil instead of synthetic.
I was thinking of having this indy shop change the auto transmission fluid, check the motor mount that the Saab dealer said needed replaced, a power steering hose, and a compression check to test if there is any head gasket leaking (which the dealer said was possible) and check brake pads and belt.
Does this sound like a plan? As always, thanks for the great advice.
Rob
