I usually recommend against an 03 mainly because of the costly SAI system that the 04 and up does not have (except in few cases on 2010-11).
Otherwise all the teething problems the 03 had is also found on the 04.
By now, these cars are so old and depending on mileage (how many miles?) most likely have have had many of the early repairs done.
There are a slew of things that can come due but it's hard to list all of them. Water pump (maybe timing chain and balance chain + guides), radiator, thermostat, all window regulators, SAI pump and check valve just to name a few.
