First, this thread will soon be bounced over to the NG900/OG9-3 BB.
The 99 9-3 uses the fairly trouble free T-5 Ignition system, though the DIC doesn't last forever it'll usually throw codes etc before failing, not prone to sudden death like T7 was.
Oil needs to be well cared for, if not SE and no ACC watch for manual HVAC controls to bind etc. ACC has salf test same as 9-5, 9-3 doesn't seem to suffer as 9-5 ACC.
The upper sper belt idler goes max 60K, stay ahead of that.
I'd say Oil, AC, HVAC, coolant, vert top (of which I know nothing), brakes (check for signs of stuck calipers), ebrake (easy to fix but prone to inop).
55K - hope that's infrequent trips, not lots of short drives ....
99 9-3SE Imola Red 5sp 154K
