Long term ownership

Hi Everyone,
I'm thinking of buying a new '01 9.3 and would really appreciate some help. I plan on keeping the car for 200,000+ miles so long term durabilty is a major issue. Most of the complaints I've been able to find out about the car seem to be about rattles, squeaks, loose trim etc. Please advise me if there are bigger problems that tend to come up.
I haven't been able to find out much info on the engine and have some questions. Timing belt (replacement interval?) or chain? Do the valves need to be adjusted or are they hydraulic? How about the usual lifespan on CV joints, waterpumps and the usual wear items? I try and do most of the work myself so any info about how difficult the car is to work on would be helpful.
Thank you very much for any advice.
Andrew
