The 99 9-3 doesn't have the sludge issues of the T-7 engines, but it can happen. Only engine issues I'm aware of is many of the engines had one of the head bolts under torqued. I'd think it would have been taken care of by now. My engine weeps a little oil around the valve cover gasket by the "plug" (driver's front) but I'd concider this pretty normal if you see it. I collect the same amount of oil as I put in during changes even with the weeping.
Otherwise I'd be concerned with the directional control knob on the AC as the internal drum had a tendency to bind (assume "base" means non-ACC car), and pixes on the SID.
