So far so good with my 99 9-3 SE.
One I found out is that even though SE's in the 9-3 range were supposed to be around 205 hp most aren't in the 99 year. In fact all the SE usually denotes for 99 is that you have leather and ACC instead of the manual climate control knobs.
The VIN will tell the true story, forget which letter it should be for the higher output. Quick way to tell will be to see if it has the NG style intercooler (input and output on the same side) or the viggen crossflow intercooler (input and output on seperate sides).
At that mileage I would budget for a new clutch, slave cylinder, and rear main seal with this purchase. My clutch started to slip around 120k.
Stay ontop of oil changes and do the regular maintenance and you shoud be good to go.
