Looking to purchase 2001-2003 9-5

Firstly, wanted to thank all posters and responders, this site has been most informative. Secondly, my wife and I are in love with Saab and are looking to purchase our first soon. After pricing, I realize that we can afford a 2001-2003 with 50-70k miles. There are two in particular we are considering; 2001 9-5 Aero 2.3turbo with 64k, and the other 2003 9-5 SE 3.0turbo with 75k.
Both are from dealers and claimed to be well maintained. I was wondering if anyone had any opinion between the two engines, the 2.3t vs. 3.0t. Which is more reliable in general? What type of maintenance should these cars have had or need soon with their mileage (i.e. timing belt, plugs, etc.)? Where their any recalls that I should check to make sure have been replaced?
Thanks for any information.
