Buying a 9-3 this weekend (final question - mileage)

Hi folks,
Thanks for all the replies (other thread). I guess my main question now has to do with mileage. I managed to chew the dealer down to $16k ($16.5 w/ basic drivetrain warranty) from $16,900. The car has 51,050 miles ... but at the same time checks out completely fine on Carfax. (1999 9-3 SE 5 speed w/ everything)
Am I looking at a clutch job in a few? Or anything else? I was fine with the idea of getting this car last night, but now really wonder about the miles. I've seen a few cars on this site's classifieds that have around 30k miles. Perhaps that's more reasonable? I plan to keep the car at least another 5 years / 100k miles.
To the dealer's credit, he's willing to let me have the car checked out w/i a few days of my purchase. If there's something major wrong, he'll buy back the car / fix the problem.
Thanks,
Newdude
