Possible Aero purchase - w/ high miles

I am considering the purchase of a 2003 9-5 Aero Wagon with manual tranny. My biggest hesitation is the 90,000 miles it has. While I am not totally foreign to the car (g/f had an 01 Aero and I've had a Viggen), but I was still wondering what obvious symptoms could arise or problem areas to look for. Ultimately I would like to find a lower mileage Aero but they are hard to come by in the Wagon/Manual option combo. This is the first I've seen in a very long time.
Obvious signs for sludge would be one. How do you check for this...is the Valve cover the easiest?
Serp. Belt at these mile is a must... and the 90k service I'm sure is expensive... so possibly another negotiation point.
I haven't seen the car yet but it hasn't left my mind since I found it. So hopefully I will check it out soon. I know these cars are good for a few 100k but would like to find one with low use and in good shape.
Anyone parting with an end-of-lease Aero Wagon w/ manual?
Thanks,
Kirk
