I purchased a 2003 9.3 Arc when new. Car has had a few issues - very minor, changed synthetic oil frequently - drove the car to 125,000 - had the car checked out by my great mechanic Tibor, told him to do whatever the car needed to be in best condition possible, then at his suggestion put a couple of new front tires on the car, changed the oil again - gave the car to my daughter and her new husband to use as a second car. Car still gets over 28 mpg, premium gas.
In a short time they've put on 25-30,000 additional miles and love the car.
Based on my experience I wouldn't be afraid of a 2003.
By the way, the car looks great, upholstery looks amazing - almost new, paint has lost some of it's clear coat, on the roof - as car has been out of a garage since I purchased it new - in the northeast with quite a lot of snow.
