I bought my 99 9-5SE V6 new, and have been very pleased with the car. You can always check the service history, but the last SID display I got put in seems to be lasting (over a year now). If the car is in good shape, I think that is a great price.
I have never had an issue with the engine (other than the ECU recall) or throttle body. I have 50K miles on mine, with the V6 running like clockwork....never burning a drop of oil. The throttle body is the mechanism that regulates the air intake to the engine (using butterflies), based on throttle postion. Step on the gas, and the thottle body opens up...let off, and the butterflies close.
I did have some issues with tire cupping, but I have over 10K miles on the new tires, and it appears to be fixed.
120K mile goal? There might be a few guys around with some high mileage 9-5s...
