9-5 Lease Buyout

Hey Folks:
I have a 2003 9-5 Linear (50k miles)lease through Saab Financial that is ending on Dec 31st. The buyout is $13,400. While that is a fair price, its not a great price or a wholesale price. Two questions:
1. Has anyone had any luck in getting Saab financial to lower the buyout? I callled them directly and they referred me to the dealer back in November. The dealer called Saab told them to call back in December.
2. I'm getting a little nervous about the sludging problem with the 2.3 lpt. I've changed the oil every 5,000 with synthetic. I've been reading a lot of horror stories on sludging problems and don't need to replace an engine anytime soon. I had an '89 900S with 160,000 miles which is why I leased another Saab in 2003. My mechanic assured me that the engine in my 9-5 does not compare to my old 900. Could I get some words of encouragement or an opinion here?
Thanks in advance for yout reply and participating in a great website.
Dave B
