That at 120k the "60k" service is due again.
It's a reasonably major one, so check to see that it has been performed - or use it as a bargaining chip. I believe it's a complete check over, along with replacing the belts and idler + tensioner pulleys.
Buying one with 120k with unkown records I would be prepared to replace no matter what:
MAF ($250)
New fluids (coolant/brake/oil)
Any worn suspension/driveline components (good time to get the koni kit!)
That said, like these people trying to talk you out of one - the same arguments they are using are the REASONS to buy the car! The seats... oh man the seats! 100x better than the regular 9-3 seats. The engine is great too, so much more driveable (much more torque down low).
The body kit is a love/hate relationship. It looks so good, but you do have to take care not to rip it apart. I probably "barely" scrape it less than once a month. My front bumper is still in really good shape. You have to just learn to be super conscious to not pull all the way up in parking spaces, and go slow over driveways/bumps. It also can be a pain to lift the car. You won't be able to use ramps, service stations will need to drive your car onto wood boards before they can get the lifts under it, etc.
Last time I went to have new tires mounted, I watched the tech pull the car in and scratch his head for a while before he finally just used a floor jack to take each tire off.

'00 Viggen, just rolled 100k! Mine doesn't leak _any_ fluids at all either.
