I am going to say that chances are if the car has not developed sludge by now, its not going to if it gets in good hands and gets the oil changes/syntehtic oil that it needs.
Not every 9-5 is going to get sludge, most of them don't and won't. It was an issue that saab had recommended such spaced out oil changes and people not taking care of their cars.
I bought my 02 9-5 aero stick knowing about the sludge issue on a whim.. i didnt have a pre-buy inspection, just visual/hearing. When I got the car home, first thing I did was remove the valve cover, it was INCREDIBLY clean, PCV 6 was already done (72,000 miles). I also used the long q-tip into the drain plug trick, it was clean.
I help keep my engine clean by doing 3-5k oil changes with high quality fully synthetic oil, and am hoping the car will last me years!!! as i am sure it will!
i say buy it, you won't be disappointed
