Natew,
I didn't realize that the newer SID's were in fact an updated model with fewer pixel-related issues. Where did you hear this?
Similarly, I was unaware that the Banjo Bolt was the cause of turbo failure (a bit hard to believe). In fact, below is a list of all TSB for the 9-5 and I was unable to find the Banjo Bolt TSB in the list. There is however, a TSB for the 9-3 that addresses the banjo bolt.

One should be careful about the service information you can get from the dealer. Unless you're querying the dealer that has performed all of the service on the car, then you will only be able to find warranty service items. Importantly, this will not include brake work, major service work, and all other "wear-related" items.
Finally, Cal, here's the list of items I came up with to check out in any used 9-5. Good luck!
