Considering purchase: Saab 9-5 with 115,000 miles

I am considering purchasing a 1999 Saab 9-5 with 115,000 miles on it. The owner has replaced the A/C computer controller, the front wheel bearings, and the SID display. Right now the car is mechanically sound and doesn't need any work at all.
My only concern is the mileage on the motor, especially the turbo. I have never owned a turbo and have heard stories about them burning out, but I have also heard Saab and Volvo owners tell me they get 300,000+ miles out of a motor. Anyone care to comment?
Thanks in advance!
