What have I missed?

Ok, I think I'm ready of offer the original owner $14k for a metallic 99 9-5 V6 SE w/ 55k miles and all the options. I have dealer records of the following repairs. First from 12/2000: "replace alternator," "replace fog light socket," "replace oil filter block off plate gasket," "clean out debris, install updated cowl cover, replace cabin fan," "Test and Replace ACC Panel," "Recall 724",and "Campaign 802, 835, 838"
In Feb 2002, the following: "replace hood emblem" and "ck/replace/program SID". New Michelin MXV4+ tires (215/55/16)were installed at 40k miles in Sept 2001 and seem to be in good shape now.
So it looks like SID and ACC have been replaced. Is the above list common or a sign of other issues? I will have an independent Saab mechanic check the car before I hand over the cash. Anything specific I should have him check? After I drove it yesterday I heard a hissing sound under the car near the exhaust? Any thoughts on that?
Given all that, how does 14k sound given I will need to have the major service completed soon. FYI - I only average about 9k miles per year so I hope it is ok to go w/ a car w/ 55k miles now.
This board has been great over the past year as I've researched 9-5s. Thanks for your help in the past and now.
