Purchase questions-1999 9-3 convertible

I have a 93 9000 which is on its last legs, so I am somewhat familiar with Saabs and their idiosyncresies.
I'm looking to purchase a 1999 5 spd S convertible with about 64k miles. 2 owners, Carfax shows regular dealer maintenance inc oil changes through 2003 and 19k miles. No Service history after that (2nd owner apparently didn't take it to dealer). Good green paint, good interior except for paint pealing on the wood dash trim.
What should I look for as far as mechanical problems? Is this a sludge prone car and if so, how can I tell if it has sludge?
Asking price from a small dealer (I'm assuming he bought it at auction)is $5600, NADA retail is 6200, trade in price is 2800-4200. I'm thinking of starting at 3000 and maybe going to 3500. Sound reasonable.
Thanks in advance.
