Questions regarding '03 2.3 LPT

Two years ago, I totalled my '01 SE wagon...walked away from an accident where I was broadsided by a caddy doing 60. (for pics, and description, look in the time period July, 2002 in this board).
At that time, I was familiar with the issues impacting '01 9-5; in the LPT, it was primarly blown turbos (blue smoke) and DI failures.
Today, I have the oppertunity to purchase an '03 Linear Wagon w/ 16 K miles fully loaded (Premium, xenons, paddle shifters, etc) for 22K. The vehical has had 5K SAAB oil changes (semi-synthetic?). I see that there are still DI issues, but I do not see any Turbo issues. Is this an accurate assessment? Also I assume oil sludge is only an issue if the oil changes are not done religously.
(DI issues do not scare me; after warentee, I will keep a spare DI in the trunk). Oil Sludge: Mobile one will avoid the problem.
I know the history of the car (would be buying it from my wife's uncle).
Is there any other downside (other than my wife wondering why I am buying another car?)
