39000 miles is super low for a 10 year old car - For peace of mind I would do a car fax check just to verify. I have just bought a 9-3 SE convert. with approx 120,000 miles on it and it looks like it just came out of the showroom. I got a good deal ( I think) and as long as it runs good I don't worry about sludge and I doubt very much that any seller would allow a looker to drop the oil pan in his car. The cause of sludge and oil leaks in the newer cars is the very restrictive PVC system. The first thing that I did is change the oil then drive it for the day then changed it again with a quality filter and synthetic oil - I also spliced a T in the PVC hose which allows free venting of the crankcase.
