looking to buy '99 9-3 with leaky head

Looking for a Saab for my 16 year old son. It'd complement my '90 turbo vert.
I've found a 1999 9-3, 5 speed hatch. 103K miles, seller kept exterior/interior in great shape, but apparently did not change fluids except for oil. He's a friend of a friend, so he's not hiding anything.
While he's getting ready to sell, car sprung a coolant leak. Local garage put in BARS leaks (yeah, I cringed too).
He wants $5,175. Now that the head gasket is involved, I want to walk.
My question...are the 9-3 head gaskets as vulnerable as the 900's? Can someone estimate the likelihood that this car might have some significant issues under the hood? Did he ruin it with that sludge?
Thanks for any advice!
